The off-duty update: Robes

In a season where underwear is perfectly acceptable as outerwear and silk pajamas slot seamlessly into cocktail dress codes, it seems only right that a silk robe becomes the weekend go-to. There is something so undeniably chic about its languid, draped silhouette and sinuous sash ties. For a polished look, seek out classic piping details and muted tones – Prada is a safe bet – or for an entrance-making option, there are tropical botanicals and statement stripes galore from Gucci and newcomers We Are Leone. Adaptable for city breaks, beach days and special occasions, simply style over jeans or shorts and a tank by day, then cropped tailored pants and a silk cami after hours.
