Can a dressing gown be worn over pyjamas?

Yes, a dressing gown is designed to layer easily over pyjamas or loungewear, adding warmth without restricting movement. This combination works particularly well on cold mornings before getting dressed for the day.

How do I keep a towelling dressing gown absorbent over time?

Avoiding fabric softener helps keep the towelling fibres absorbent, since softener can coat the fabric and reduce how well it soaks up moisture. Washing on a regular cycle without excessive detergent also helps maintain absorbency.

Do dressing gowns make a good gift for men?

Yes, a dressing gown in a classic colour like navy or black is a practical, well-received gift, particularly alongside other nightwear or grooming items. Checking the recipient's usual size against the gown's size guide helps ensure a comfortable fit.

How long should a dressing gown be?

Most gowns fall to around knee length, though this can vary slightly by size and style, so checking the specific product measurements is worthwhile if length matters to you. A longer length generally offers more warmth and coverage.

Can a dressing gown replace a bathrobe after swimming?

A towelling dressing gown works well after swimming, offering the same absorbency as a bathrobe while doubling up as everyday nightwear too. This makes it a practical, multi-purpose choice rather than needing separate robes for different occasions.

How do I stop a dressing gown losing its shape after washing?

Washing on a lower temperature and avoiding overloading the machine helps the fabric keep its shape and thickness over repeated washes. Air drying or a low heat tumble setting also helps preserve softness, particularly for fluffy fleece styles.

Men’s Dressing Gowns

A good dressing gown does a job nothing else in the wardrobe quite manages, offering an easy, warm layer for the gap between getting out of bed and getting properly dressed, or straight after a shower before reaching for a towel isn't quite enough. Jacamo's range covers hooded, fluffy and towelling styles, each suited to slightly different needs, from the extra warmth of a hood on a cold morning to the quick-drying practicality of towelling after washing. Our sizes run all the way up to 6XL.

Colour options lean towards classic navy, black and red, and brands like Polo Ralph Lauren sit alongside Jacamo's own styles for anyone wanting a bit more branding on show. A fluffy fleece gown suits colder months and adds genuine warmth for lounging in the evening, while a towelling robe is the more practical choice for drying off quickly after a shower or swim. Either way, a proper dressing gown turns an ordinary morning routine into something a bit more comfortable.
