It’s time to put away your winter togs and bring all of your warm weather clothing within easy reach, including your lightweight summer robe. Every woman should own a
breathable, knee-length (or shorter) robe for slipping into after the shower or pool. They travel light and let the seasonal temperatures dry your skin naturally. If you love the feel of a white waffle weave spa robe, you can get your very own at the Cotton Palace. Choose from a basic waffle with half sleeve ($50), a deluxe longer sleeve ($56) or diamond style ($60). If you prefer something more girly and colorful, we recommend the Honeydew Intimates stripe terry robe with ruffle-trimmed sleeves, hem and pockets, and a drawstring hood ($106; pictured). For a solid robe with plenty of ruffles and an empire waist, check out Juicy Couture’s terry robe with jersey ruffles ($138). Not a frills kind of gal? You’ll love Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Lite robe ($149). It’s plush without being heavy, has a hood and good clean lines. Equally grown-up is Calvin Klein’s Mix Essentials short robe ($75), made of 94 percent modal and 6 percent elastane. Eyelet is a favorite summer fabric, and Anthropolgie’s got a stunning short robe in navy blue it calls the Blueberry Season robe ($98), while Gilligan & O’Malley’s white eyelet robe is a great bargain at $20. And if you are committed to buying pesticide free, renewable fiber clothing, consider the bamboo short robe ($79) from J. Renee or Gaiam’s 100 percent organic cotton knit robe ($49) in natural or paisley.
