I need a dressing gown that doesn't look like a dressing gown

[LaurelBush]

I am WFH atm and like to get up, put on dressing gown, have coffee, get down to work at my PC. And two hours later I might still be working, but am still in my dressing gown and it doesn't feel right.

Can the hive mind find me a sort of "in between" dressing gown? Preferably black, but not too fussed about colour. Plus I am always on the hunt for different dressing gown styles, so even if it doesn't fit this bill I'm open to suggestions!

I don't shower in the morning, I have a bath in the evening. But thanks for the totally unasked-for advice!

My pleasure! It's completely free of charge.

Here's one...

...and here's another...

Try a caftan

Amazon.ie any good? (but obv. coming from UK supplier) Zipped, lovely colours and look very cosy.

Sorry to hijack the thread OP but I have an issue with pyjamas. I love cuffed or even better leggings pyjamas, if I wear any other type the legs ride up when am asleep. I must have some sort of weird body shape or move excessively in my sleep because pj's at the moment all seem to have wide legs.

Any recommendations for where I can get this sort of nightwear from? Don't want to pay a fortune either really.

@LoveBeingAMum555 , tuck them into your bed socks.

Kimono? Kaftan ?

😂😂😃 I'm on the floor

And the otherr one you posted. I've literally got tears rolling down my face. 😂

Personally I enjoy one of these (my phone will not link for the life of it 😒) but £25 from matalan, zip through 'dressing gown' with pockets, comfy, warm, just looks like a longline fleece 😍

These (won't let me link but the pic is Jack Wills, comes in different colours)

I wore them a lot in the baby phase when I really just wanted to live eternally in pjs

@LoveBeingAMum555 not cold be enough fire me yet but I sleep in Pepco leggings from the pound shop.
They are a lovely weight and wash and last well.
TBH they are black so may not be to your taste for nightwear.

Just get dressed

Not a dressing gown but I feel more ‘put together’ with this sort of thing, warm & comfortable

I work from home and went mad and bought an Oodie. 😙 Hear me out - I wear it as a dress with black tights and black ballet flat slippers.

It’s dressed enough to answer the door to couriers but as comfy as a dressing gown.

One Hundred Stars, not the cheapest but beautiful

Jumper dress in the winter and silk shirt dress in the summer

The Woolovers one mentioned a few times is great, it’s thin but so warm and cosy and you won’t want to take it off! It doesn’t look like a dressing gown, more like a long cardigan.

Kaftans?

For anyone questioning the OP (rather unnecessarily), the item in question is essentially a housecoat. A garment that has existed for centuries.

the gowns and throw overs here are stunning, not sure if this is what you mean x

Full length zip up dressing gowns give very comfortable options.

I wear shorts for that reason. This morning my long pyjamas were twisted up to my knees.
