15 Best Robes for Writers in 2022
When you are on the schedule of a career author, blogger, or freelancer, either you do not have time or the need every morning to figure out what to wear. This is why robes are the perfect writing outfit for writers and bloggers.
I often wake up burning to write. If it is super early, I usually make my bed but I am not always ready to change for the day. Throwing on a robe makes me feel like I am dressed enough to sit down and write until it is time to actually change.
Alternatively, on nippy nights I like to sit up and either write or read. If my nightgown is not warm enough, a comfy, plush robe solves the problem. Finally, nothing beats emerging from a shower or bath with new story ideas at my fingertips, rushing into a robe, and sitting down to write. You cannot do this with towels as towels are prone to slip, but robes securely tie on to keep you warm and covered.
While these robes may not be strikingly dissimilar, every robe on this list is a stylish and comfortable. I have rounded up the best robes for writers across a range of colors, styles, fabrics, and price ranges, so you are sure to find the perfect writing robe for you or the writer in your life!

Unwanted Life
One thing I learnt from having a landlord who wouldn’t fix the boiler for five months over winter, is that man-made fibre ones can cause you to have a rash if you’re wrapping up in them constantly. It might just be my weird skin, but it should be something to consider
Jaya Avendel
Good to know! ☺️
Lauren
These are some great dressing gown ideas. My dressing gown has a little bear face I think/ or mouse even has ears. It is pink with white spots. Thank you for sharing your ideas!
