The after hours satin robe

What you need to know:

Accessorise as much as you can to jazz up the look.

You remember the pajama trend? This ‘nightie’ trend has been taken up a notch with the accompanying afterhours robe becoming another hot trend. It is now acceptable to carry that awesomeness you have in the bedroom to the streets. There is a catch though; it should not be your ordinary satin robe.
The robe comes in super bright colours and prints to go with all the casual looks you own. It can be worn with jeans and other casual ensembles. It comes with a matching belt to finish the look.

You can wear the robe with or without the belt. This robe can be worn everywhere from parties, to picnics and even work. Celebrities such as Beyonce and locally, TV star Bettinah are already wearing this trend effortlessly. When worn stylishly, it is impossible to tell that it draws inspiration from ‘after hours’ clothing.

Tips on how to wear your robe like a fashionista

-Wear the robe as a separate. Here it is worn like a dress or with matching pants (supposing it has those attached). Wear this to a cocktail party or dare to stand out at a tea party. The pants and robe combination has that pantsuit appearance that is interesting to look at in a casual setting.
-Wear it casually with jeans and top. Wear your strappy top and jeans and match the look with your fancy robe. It is a look that will instantly turn heads.

In this case, feel free to leave the robe open, and own the style.
-You can also wear your robe to work. Drape the belted robe over a simple midi skirt and matching top. Wear your look with shoes that suit the professional you are. This can also be a perfect business during the day and party in the night ensemble as switching from work to party is just a matter of opening your robe.
-Accessorise as much as you can to jazz up the look. This is a piece of clothing that can only be fancy if well accessorised; otherwise it could end up looking as boring as the night wear from which it draws inspiration.
