About this deal

First, this was a time when customs required that men dress in stiff and restrictive formal attire when they left the house. The dressing gown became a leisurely alternative for those times when a man wanted to be comfortable in his own home, but still presentable to house guests and family. Why on earth did someone feel the need to invent a blanket with sleeves when the best dressing gowns are more than capable of keeping you cosy and warm while you're snuggled up on the sofa? Yep, now that we're well into the depths of winter, we're practically living in our favourite robe. Does that make us sound like a grandma? Maybe. But we don't care. Second, this was also a time when the standard colorways for western men’s clothing were most often somber and dull. Dressing gowns once again borrowed from Eastern cultures and incorporated ornate fabrics in bold colors. As such, they offered a rare opportunity for men of the time to inject a punch of pizzazz into their attire. When discussing clothing, the articles that aren’t actually seen are often glossed over and forgotten. But if you want to start your day like a true gentleman, style starts before you slide into that suit. Over time, sitting around the house in a robe became seen as less of a sign of luxury and wealth and more of a sign of laziness, which led to dressing gowns falling out of favor with the general public. Instead, they were replaced by the more functional bathrobe.

And I’m not even talking underwear and undershirts here – I’m talking earlier in your dressing routine than that. Today, we’re talking about the dressing gown.

Whether, like us, you're snuggling up on the couch in yours, have it wrapped around you during your morning beauty routine, or use it purely for the pre- and post-shower dash, a good dressing gown is the ultimate home fashion MVP.That's right, a dressing gown is a great gift for mums, dads, siblings, grandparents, friends *and* partners. You're basically gifting a little piece of luxury, and that's something everyone wants but probably won't justify buying for themselves. Oh, and sizing is also quite forgiving on the gown front, which is music to our present-buying ears.

Chemise is the French word for shirt. Since the Rococco period this has been the term for an under garment with short sleeves; somewhat later (1785-1800) the shirt type garment, the chemise, was the fashion. The name was transferred to a day dress of similar cut. However, while not nearly as common, dressing gowns can still be found, and are treasured by many stylish gents who still take pleasure in distinctive, sophisticated relaxation. Yes, he had no engagement at all for to-morrow; and her invitation was accepted with alacrity. He came, and in such very good time that the ladies were none of them dressed. In ran Mrs Bennet to her daughter's room, in her dressing gown, and with her hair half finished, crying out, "My dear Jane, make haste and hurry down. He is come -- Mr Bingley is come. -- He is, indeed. Pride and Prejudice Shift
