It’s peak beach season, which means that with any luck you’ll come prepared with clothing that is both practical and stylish. Among the many items you might consider adding to your beach bag, a changing robe fits this exact description. In this guide, we’ll delve into why these robes are essential beachwear, how to choose the best one, and what makes Seashell Clothing’s range of changing robes a top pick for beachgoers.

Visit any beach throughout the year, and you’ll likely encounter a changing robe . This stylish piece of beachwear has gained immense popularity in recent years, and for good reason. What is essentially a hybrid of a beach towel and a weatherproof coat serves as practical wear for surfers, swimmers, windsurfers, and kayakers alike who need a quick and easy change out of wet swimwear, while staying warm and dry. More than just a practical garment, these robes are also stylish and double as casual, everyday jackets, shielding wearers from wind and rain. 

Changing out of a wet swimsuit at the beach can be awkward and uncomfortable, especially with the lack of privacy. Enter the dry robe—a game changer for those braving the chilly waters. This versatile garment functions like a portable changing room, offering space inside to discreetly change while helping you warm up after a dip in the cold sea.

Even on sunny days, a dip in the ocean can leave you feeling chilled. After a cold swim, the insulated, windproof, and waterproof design helps maintain body warmth. Its soft inner lining made from sherpa is breathable and insulating, helping you dry off quickly. 

Changing robes are not just for the beach. They are everyday jackets to be used for virtually any outdoor activity, including surfing, paddleboarding, or simply lounging by the pool. Their practical design makes them ideal for use in any situation where you might need to change clothes or stay warm and dry.

Choosing practical beachwear doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style! Changing robes come in a range of colours, allowing you to express your personal style. Seashell Clothing offers a variety of fashionable options, ensuring that you look chic while enjoying the beach.

Here are some top tips to help you decide on which changing robe to buy: 

Look for robes made from high-quality, absorbent fabrics like terry cloth or microfiber. Seashell Clothing uses premium materials that are both soft and durable, ensuring your robe will last for many beach seasons to come.

Changing robes come in various sizes to accommodate different body types. Choose a robe that provides enough room to change comfortably while ensuring it fits well enough to keep you warm. Seashell Clothing offers a range of sizes from XS to L. If you’re unsure about sizing, our size chart can help you find the perfect fit.

Consider the design features that matter most to you. Pockets for storing essentials, hoods for added warmth, and easy-to-use zippers or buttons can prove to be everyday necessities. The Seashell Changing Robe is thoughtfully designed with these features in mind, offering both functionality and style.

Given that your changing robe will be exposed to sand, saltwater, and sun, it’s important to choose one that is easy to clean and maintain. Seashell Clothing’s robes require minimal washing and are easy to care for with just a shake off or a wipe down with a damp sponge after use. For more thorough cleaning, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius or hand washed in cold water.
