How to choose the best silk robe for ultimate comfort and style
A silk robe is the epitome of luxury, offering the perfect balance of comfort, style, and functionality. Whether you’re stepping out of the shower or lounging at home, wrapping yourself in a silk robe adds a touch of elegance to your routine.
But how do you choose the best silk robe? With so many options available, it can be hard to know where to start. This guide will help you find the ideal silk robe to match your lifestyle and needs.
Choosing the right length
When shopping for a silk robe, length is an important consideration.
Choose from short or long, depending on how you plan to wear your robe.
Mid-length robes: These robes provide good coverage and are versatile for any season.
Long robes: The ultimate choice for those seeking a luxurious wrap for sleep or loungewear.
Fabric quality: The key to luxury
Not all silk is created equal. When shopping for a silk robe, make sure you choose one made from 100% mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is the finest quality silk, known for its softness, durability, and hypoallergenic properties.
A robe made from mulberry silk will feel luxurious on your skin and last much longer than cheaper alternatives.
High-quality silk will have a smooth texture, a slight sheen, and won’t feel stiff or heavy.
If you’re looking for something that truly feels like a second skin, mulberry silk is the way to go.

Finding the perfect fit
The fit of your robe is just as important as the fabric. A well-fitting robe should feel like an extension of your body, offering freedom of movement without being too loose or tight. Most silk robes come with a belt that allows you to adjust the fit to your preference.
At Tara Sartoria we’ve created a 2-tie system for our silk robes so that they always stay in place, for peace of mind. Each robe is designed generously, with enough fabric to wrap around comfortably and stay secure with the ties.
The video below shows how easy it is to use the 2-tie system.
If you’re shopping for a gift, a silk robe is a perfect choice; being forgiving in their fit they’re an excellent gift for both men and women.
Design and style options
Silk robes come in a variety of styles, from classic solid colors to intricate prints. At Tara Sartoria our range includes solid colours, and you can
Silk robes for self-care and beauty
Beyond just being a luxurious garment, silk robes also offer practical beauty benefits. Silk’s smooth texture helps reduce friction, making it gentle on both your skin and hair.
This is particularly important if you’re looking to maintain smooth, healthy skin and avoid hair breakage.
Silk is also naturally moisture-wicking, meaning it helps regulate body temperature and keeps you comfortable.
This makes a silk robe the perfect addition to your self-care routine, whether you’re doing a facial mask or enjoying a quiet morning with coffee.
How to care for your silk robe
To keep your silk robe in pristine condition, it’s essential to follow our proper care instructions. Hand washing in cold water with a gentle, enzyme-free detergent is the best way to clean silk.
If you prefer to use a washing machine, select a delicate cycle and place the robe in a mesh laundry bag (or the silk drawstring bag your robe came in) for protection.
When drying, avoid using a tumble dryer. Instead, air-dry your robe away from direct sunlight, as the UV rays can fade the fabric. Proper care ensures that your robe will retain its luxurious look and feel for years.
