How to Choose the Right Bathrobe Size: S/M vs. L/XL
Calinea bathrobes come in just two fits: S/M and L/XL. That's intentional: fewer, better-considered options instead of a confusing size chart. Here's how to pick the right one.
The two fits
S/M is cut for a closer, more tailored silhouette, typically a good fit if you'd normally wear a women's small through men's medium. L/XL is cut roomier and longer, with more wrap and overlap at the front, suited to anyone who prefers a looser fit or would normally size up in outerwear.
Both fits share the same tailored collar, self-tie belt, and two-tone construction. Sizing only changes the cut, not the design.
A few things to consider
- How you like your robe to sit. If you prefer a robe that stays closed easily and doesn't gap at the chest, size up to L/XL.
- Length. L/XL runs longer in the body and sleeve, worth choosing if you're above average height.
- Layering. If you'll wear it over pajamas or loungewear rather than straight from the shower, L/XL gives more room to move.
- Gifting. When in doubt for a gift, L/XL is the more forgiving choice. A slightly loose robe is more comfortable than a tight one.
Fabric affects fit too
A waffle-weave robe has more give and drapes looser than a jacquard robe, which holds a bit more structure. If you're between sizes, the waffle weave is the more forgiving fabric. Our comparison of waffle vs. terry robes goes into the difference.
Still unsure?
Each product page includes a detailed size guide with body measurements for both fits. Check it against a robe you already own and love the fit of, and match from there.
