We all know that you’re a gorgeous being, ethereal in every way, too godly for this world. But if you feel like reminding everyone else about it, we know the five long robes that will totally blow everyone else out of the water. From Stevie Nicks, to Florence Welch, to the Victoria’s Secret’s Angels – we’ve got all of the bases covered. From sheer, to lace, to fur, and classic, to sexy, to ultra-glam, we’ve got a little something for everyone!
Or just a satin kimono, if you’re an ethereal goddess with a budget.
Seriously, as robes go, you can’t go past the kimono. Although the word has been hijacked by fast fashion machines selling you thin pieces of cloth, the Japanese origins of the kimono is something we should all look into before donning the item.
Traditional kimonos are literal works of art and culturally important – and they’re also expensive.
Thankfully, there are some boho options that mirror the grandeur of the classic kimono, but on a budget.
This is exactly the sort of kimono you wear when you’re out shopping for more long, ethereal robes, or if you’ve got a Fleetwood Mac concert to catch later that night.
If boho is your style, then you’ll definitely want to look to Stevie Nicks, an ethereal goddess like no one else, for inspo.
Get the look:
It’s sheer, sexy and black.
Perfect for a woman stuck at home stirring her cauldron, or one who’s on the go, flying around on her broomstick. The most classic of long, ethereal robes is this; sheer and black, with a hint of something a little extra. Feathers, in this case.
And, I mean, witches practically invented long, over the top black robes.
Who doesn’t want to look like a being of incredible power, who’s mysterious and reclusive, and owns an alarming number of cats?
Get the look:
Because lace is timeless, ancient, and immortal – just like you.
A black, lace robe is the kind of robe you wear not for casting spells (as above) but rather, for drifting down the stony halls of an abandoned castle, or wandering through a graveyard hundreds of years old. It has a time, and a place, and a purpose to be as hauntingly beautiful as yourself!
Ghostly doesn’t have to be ghastly.
Get the look:
Timeless, cute, serving looks that could kill – this is the sort of robe you wear after shooting your much older, much richer husband and downing a bottle of red.
Not that we condone either of those things, but well, we’re feminists, aren’t we?
When you imagine luxurious robes, this is definitely a must-have.
Get the look:
This is purely to oggle at – unless you really feel like springing a few bucks.
But it certainly is worth it, considering this gown combines extra af sleeves, silk, and lace into one elegant ensemble. There’s even a gown that co-ordinates with the robe – as if the robe wasn’t absolutely stunning in and of itself!
This is the sort of gown you wear after you’ve killed your husband and have now inherited all his millions, his three estates (one in America, Spain, and France, of course), and his collection of vintage cars.
Naturally, we’ll be selling the cars to pay for many more robes with this level of elegance.
