The weather is starting to heat up and the sun is shining which means the time to swap over our winter woollies to our summer essentials has arrived.
The act of starting your day or winding down before bed in a luxuriously cosy dressing gown is the ultimate form of self care, add some silky pyjamas and a face mask and you have described the perfect evening.
However as summer rolls around bundling yourself up in a fluffy gown during our hot humid weather turns that luxury into a sweaty disaster.
So as you swap over your winter wardrobe consider indulging yourself in a lightweight dressing gown that can take you through summer.
The key to finding the perfect summer dressing gown comes down to a few key points: material, length and texture.
Investing in a dressing gown that uses breathable materials like linen, silk and cotton will prevent overheating during our humid Australian weather while providing coverage and shorter or mid length gowns will allow air flow.
We have rounded up our favourite dressing gown options for summer for you to shop.
