Step 3: Features and Other Considerations
Other important issues to consider when purchasing a robe is the construction of the robe. Even if the fabric is the same, not all robes are constructed equally. Features such as shawl collars, cuffs, generously sized pockets, inside ties add extra cost to the robe but enhance the look and functionality. The shawl collar adds a classic elegant look to the robe. In a bathrobe, it can also be used to help dry the neck and face. Another feature that is especially useful is the inside ties. A robe tends to come undone when you are moving in it. Inside ties can provide that added support and is recommended on all lounge robes.
