With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we asked our resident fashion columnist to pick the cosiest yet romantic gift for couples during lockdown — a swanky robe. Whether it’s a gift for you or your partner, these high-fashion housecoats offer everything from artsy elegance to sporty warmth.
A) Silky smooth
“This one is dramatic, fun and spirited. It’s a luxurious 100 per cent silk robe. I love the mix of the prints, animal meets floral.” HoltRenfrew.com, $835
B) Quilted comfort
“Talk about a great housecoat. The next best thing to being under a duvet is to be wearing a duvet robe. I’ve never seen a quilted housecoat of this nature.” StoleMyHeart.ca, $329
C) Perfectly plaid
“This Scotch plaid flannel robe is a real classic, with an almost retro feel to it. I always love this plaid. It speaks to the Scottish girl in me.” LLBean.ca, $115
D) Get in the ring
“This Muhammad Ali-inspired robe with his Truth poem embroidered will make you feel empowered.” Gravitypope.com, $255
E) Check it out
“I like this plush check one. It’s the kind of robe I could see my guy hanging out in. It’s a great no-nonsense robe.” TheBay.com, $62.99
F) Sporty style
“This rugby robe has a sporty motif with the banded cuffs. It looks cosy and warm and perfect for a young guy or one that’s young at heart.” LLBean.ca, $159
G) Sultry satin
“Christine is such a great Canadian label. This satin robe has a very delicate, hand-painted feel with the black and white design.” ChristineLingerie.com, $159
H) Seeing stars
“UGG really knows how to produce great comfort wear. I like that this cuddly robe is shorter, and I love the stars on this soft dove grey.” Nordstrom.ca, $155
