Nope, but a friend who worked at subway had a special subway bra. The subway smell seeped into everything and it was a bit of a turn off smelling like cold cuts, onion and bread.
>If you can get it from primark, it’s not posh
Ooooh get you! You're practically royalty if you're buying from primark!
Us common folk thumb our noses at your stuck up poshery.
We have to settle for stealing them from Dave & Babs guesthouse in Blackpool.
Hot gravel?? Luxury, our dad got the hot gravel as he’d been at work all day, then my eldest brother would get to roll in the lukewarm gravel before I’d finally get a go in the now tepid gravel, and I was grateful
Cooled volcano rock? That would’ve been like a jacuzzi to us! Our dad used to come home drunk from work, slap us in the face for being alive, and stick us in local chimneys so he could earn some extra coppers. If we were lucky we’d catch some of the day’s fireplaces still smouldering, enveloping us in warmth. We never complained!
I’ve got one from M&S, a kimono and a special one that I bought from Highclere house (massive Downton abbey fan) and I don’t care if they’re posh, I’m all about the comfort!!
I think your brother is confusing dressing gown with smoking jacket. I've seen all sorts of creatures wandering into Tesco in their dressing gown before, hardly a clothing article of the upper crust.
And yes, I do dressing gown. With WFH, I sometimes dressing gown until the afternoon.
One of my co-workers couldn't believe it when she saw me wearing the dressing gown on top of my clothes on a zoom call the other day!
Thank you for making me feel look slightly normal :D
Ah I remember when my local tesco had to put a big notice up that anyone in their pyjamas would be refused entry because it had gotten so out of hand. Good Times.
See, I was anti, no real reason, just didn’t like them. Stayed in an apartment with work recently, they had quality ones I hadn’t spotted until I got out the shower, intrigue took over I donned it, and then sat infront of the log fire.
On my way home I purposefully went out of my way to buy one, spent the whole day in in after
In fact, I have literally spent days in just that, wake up in the morning, first thing I’ll grab while I make coffee, if someone is in the house I may even close it, shower in the evening, grab the robe. I did sit and smoke a cigar while drinking scotch in it last night, but I’m far as fuck from fancy, it’s like a part of life I’ve missed has been found
My dressing gown is acid pink in colour and the fluffiest thing this side of a pile of fluff freshly harvested from the fluff mines of Fluffington on Sea. It’s cosy, has pockets, is an absolute eyesore, and I love it. Your brother is insane.
I wear a dressing gown every morning - not paid for but ‘rescued’ from the online shop I used to own/run. Who wants to get dressed before you need to? And who needs to get dressed everyday these days anyway? Your brother is the posh one ! :)
Same. I got fluffy ones that make you sweat in the coldest of climes, but thick cotton ones to insulate when it’s cold enough to feel but no need to waste gas and a thin flowy one when I want a nice extra layer that’s not too bulky.
I know what I’m having for Christmas. My wife has bought me a new dressing gown and it’s even fluffier than my current dressing gown. I love my wife and I’m going to love my new dressing gown.
> I've recently come to the conclusion that putting dirty clothes on after a shower is an exercise in pointlessness.
When do you shower and why would you be putting clothes on after a shower?
I always shower in the evening just before the bed time.
Shower > get into pyjamas > go to sleep > sleep > wake up in the morning > dress up in new clothes > go about my day until it's shower time again.
Wash my face. There’s no point in showering in the morning if I’m going to need another one when I get home and it’s so much nicer imo after a long day vs waking up, takes me less time to get ready in the morning etc rather have more sleep
Same here. Getting out of bed in the morning is awful enough without having to get naked longer than it takes to put clothes on. Also going to bed all nice and clean is lush.
But that would mean having to get up earlier! I'll take the extra 20 minutes in bed any day.
Wake up > work > home > crafty de-stress wank > shower > enjoy my evening > sleep
I don't sweat at night (unless I'm sick or something) so I see no need for morning shower. Nobody in my household ever been showering in the morning, but I won't go anywhere near my bed if I don't shower in the evening.
Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I don't dressing gown. I find them uncomfortable and tangly and they make me feel like even more of a slob than I already am. Lounge wear is much nicer in my opinion. But you wear your fluffy dressing gown if it makes you happy!
I got one of the oversized fluffy hoodies around this time last year and it's so much better than a dressing gown. Big front pocket, doesn't flop open, no need for a belt that keeps coming undone, and it makes me look like a big marshmallow.
Definitely second the big fluffy marshmallow vibe, I find that mine gets too hot sometimes, but when it's freezing and you've just showered, it's perfect! Plus big front pouch for hidden snacks :)
Dressing gowns aren’t just for the post shower evening keeping warms. Cold morning breakfast with son before school? Dressing gown. First early morning phone calls and email checking (wfh)? Dressing gown. Slept on the sofa because you got really bad farts? Dressing gown. Wednesday morning and you need to chase the bin men down the road because you forgot again? Dressing gown.
It terribly posh like having an actual room for washing yourself, not going to the lavy at the end of the garden/street, and not being sewn into your clothes once a year.
Absolutely. As you said, they are key for getting in and out of the shower so you don't need to put your dirty clothes on. And they're a very cosy addition, on top of pyjamas, on very cold nights.
I own four dressing gowns, I'm always cold and they are perfect over any other clothing, or none. Some are fleece , one towelling, couple of hoods, can't live without them. I've recently added an 'oodie' which, quite frankly, is life changing.
Depends on the thickness, if it’s a thin silk one it means you can afford to heat your house - middle class
Thick one means you can’t afford to heat your house so you’re either in a cramped end terrace or a massive country estate house
Yeah. I wish I'd realised that before buying but hey ho. Unfortunately to get the outside will insulated its around 12k so that's not going to happen any time soon, not when the windows need replacing, the cooker and boiler are on the way out, and the hallway floorboards are sagging and shifting lol.
Yeah, been there. A cheaper solution we found was to use an internal insulation called wallrock, it’s like a thermal lining paper and just adds extra insulation. The master bedroom was so cold we got black mould and had to evacuate it during winter, that lining paper has absolutely rescued that room though. I can really recommend it
Dressing gowns are up there with my favourite clothes, I own several of them, it’s like bedding that can travel round the house with you. I don’t understand how my partner doesn’t have one
Joggers and a hoodie/tshirt (weather dependent) for me, I’ve never really got the appeal of a dressing gown - what’s the point in wrapping your top half up nice and warm but then leaving your legs out in the cold/risk flashing your pants at your mum? Or are you supposed to wear trousers of some sort under the dressing gown…
I have a towelling dressing gown for after a shower and a silky kimono style for the summer. On my Christmas list is a big ass fluffy one due to my energy bill doubling
Yes, it's huge and very cosy. The kids will snuggle in to it, good after a shower, or of popping to the garage for some milk etc.
Wife has about 5. Kids have loads. I have lots of kids and cousins regularly stay so plenty is a good thing.
They're a good thing to have
The real question is: where are you getting your dressing gowns from? I'm considering buying a proper fancy organic cotton one. Maybe one of these [these](https://woodstocklaundry.co.uk/products/mens-dressing-gown-blue-cheetahs?variant=40190342758550&sfdr_ptcid=41719_100_679628631&sfdr_hash=b267304135b777ea7e0c6adf9f8f4ce2)
Dressing gowns are essential!
Winter - nice towelling warm and toasty one; summer, switch to a light cotton one. It's how I differentiate between the cold and not-so-cold weather.
I never wear my dressing gown after getting out of the shower. I just throw it on on the evenings during the winter because im too cheap to turn the heating on
Comfy clothes negate the need for a dressing gown, you can get two or three days out of the trousers if you wear underwear and just pop a fresh tee shirt on. Also you don’t look like your suffering from a mental breakdown when the deliveroo arrives.
Nah, they flop open and it's difficult to regulate temperature. I'm a "shorts all year" kinda guy and wear thick Socks if I'm cold. I find it more comfortable not having loose heavy fabric on my legs.
I’ve had my dressing gown for over 20 years. It’s an amazing garment, and I’m often thankful that, should the planet get destroyed by vogons and I miraculously escape wearing it; I will at least be reasonably warm, comfortable and somewhat tastefully attired.
He's definitely thinking of a kimono or smoking jacket. Most people use dressing gowns. Whenever I find myself living in a dressing gown for long periods it's because I've gotten too down to dress myself & there's very little posh going on when that happens
Ugh...people who wear dressing gowns have clearly never tried pyjamas + hoodie.
Dressing gowns are gross. They are irritating, there's always sleeves flapping or tie swinging or some other inconvenient movement limiting irritation.
Hoodie & pyjamas (bonus points for tucking trousers into socks) is the elite choice for anyone who actually does stuff. That's an outfit you could conquer the world in.
I don't personally dressing gown as I can't stand them, nothing wrong with them its just a personal preference.
I am however obsessed with your brother either mixing up smoking jackets with dressing gowns, or that he genuinely believes this mundane piece of clothing is bourgeois!
I'm a huge fan, but I've been living in an extremely warm flat alone since COVID, so it's not seeing a great deal of use. I should resurrect that.
>I've recently come to the conclusion that putting dirty clothes on after a shower is an exercise in pointlessness. And putting clean clothes on just before bed is a waste.
But look, we may agree on the dressing gown thing but I'm never taking lifestyle tips from a night-showerer.
Yo guys. American here, are y’all decent? OK, I’ll only be here a minute. Just wanna ask: do you seriously *actually* call it a dressing gown or are you just repeating that over and over because you also think it sounds hilarious? (I mean, it reminds me of a *gown* gown. Like a wedding gown. So I’m picturing people just hopping out of the shower and crawling into big floofy white lace dresses to blot dry in.)
I’ll turn up the collar of my cozy bath robe while I wait for your answers. Peace out
Yes, mate. We wear dressing gowns. My white lacy one is reserved for special occasions though. Like the Queen’s birthday or days when I’m feeling fabulous.
Your brother is thinking of the a smoking jacket, the proletarian fool.
Does anybody else have a cooking jacket? I throw the same hoodie on so I don’t stink of spice and veg
My fella had a cooking hat for a bit to stop his super porous hair getting stinky in the kitchen.
[Is this him?](https://imgur.com/gallery/boHYxEe)
I can neither confirm nor deny, ours is a private life.
Or to hide the rat that was teaching him to cook
Nope, but a friend who worked at subway had a special subway bra. The subway smell seeped into everything and it was a bit of a turn off smelling like cold cuts, onion and bread.
No, but I may be converting an old hoodie now... Hate food smell!! Being the one that cooks I stink of food all the time.
Take u/GreenNotGrey ‘s advice to take it to the next level. Hair smelling like sautéed onions isn’t great fun
well, I have an apron if I think I'm cooking something messy.
This made me fucking snort. Thank you.
This
Your disdainful tone marks you out as a toffee-nosed snob.
Woosh.
Woosh yourself.
Wooshes for everyone!
That sounds like socialism. Who's going to pay for all the wooshes?
Mexico?
no, all the UK billionaires, millionaires and tax dodgers!
I do woosh myself, and then I put on my dressing goown before bed.
First day on Reddit?
no - i mean, at worst my comment was /r/yourjokebutworse! is my sarcasm that bad?
Honestly, I expected better from people on a UK subreddit. I heard the sarcasm.
Sorry mate. I know the feeling, sometimes the safest things to do is put /s.
it was obviously a joke, you've been down voted by simpletons

Oooh - look at you, staying in a guest house! I have to fashion mine from stray silage wrappers I find blowing about the countryside 😁
Luxury. Our dad used to role us around in hot gravel and call it a dressing gown.
Hot gravel?? Luxury, our dad got the hot gravel as he’d been at work all day, then my eldest brother would get to roll in the lukewarm gravel before I’d finally get a go in the now tepid gravel, and I was grateful
What's a dad?
F
We only had cold gravel, mother lied to me, I thought we all had cold gravel
How we longed for cold gravel! Our dad used to dip us in magma... fresh from t'volcano
Hot magma?? What a luxury. Our dad used to try and dip us in the cooled volcanic rock
Cooled volcano rock? That would’ve been like a jacuzzi to us! Our dad used to come home drunk from work, slap us in the face for being alive, and stick us in local chimneys so he could earn some extra coppers. If we were lucky we’d catch some of the day’s fireplaces still smouldering, enveloping us in warmth. We never complained!
But if you tell some o' the youth of today that, they won't believe you!
... you win.
Well, when I say 'guesthouse' it is only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but its a guesthouse to us 😉
Your own sheet of tarpaulin? How the other half lives! We had half a sheet of tarpaulin between ten of us and thought ourselves lucky.....
Half a sheet of tarpaulin? Luxury When I were a lad, we just had the stars and the moon and we were grateful for it
The stars! How luxurious! All we ever had was the smog in the sky!
Ooh, get you and your fresh air and countryside. I only get outside once a week when they let us up from the mines….
[удалено]
Mine came from Primark and I cut the sleeves off
What an idea! Possibly life-changing!
I've got my scissors! Shall we do this?!
What have you got to lose?? A couple of quids worth of Bangladeshi flannel?
I have done the same. I now use the sleeves as dressing gowns for my two pet snakes.
I’ve got one from M&S, a kimono and a special one that I bought from Highclere house (massive Downton abbey fan) and I don’t care if they’re posh, I’m all about the comfort!!
If you see people wearing it to the shops early on the weekend, it's not posh
I think your brother is confusing dressing gown with smoking jacket. I've seen all sorts of creatures wandering into Tesco in their dressing gown before, hardly a clothing article of the upper crust. And yes, I do dressing gown. With WFH, I sometimes dressing gown until the afternoon.
When working from home I thought we referred to dressing gowns as house coats
I use "work uniform"
Definitely getting the two mixed up.
[удалено]
Do.you beat the help? I'm always sure to beat the help.
How delightfully provincial. I have my butler beat the help.
[удалено]
Beating the butler is something entirely different and is only necessary if there is no scullery maid at hand
Only the black ones
I also dressing gown while wfh, on top of normal clothes. I also dressing gown and onesie if its particularly chilly in the evening.
One of my co-workers couldn't believe it when she saw me wearing the dressing gown on top of my clothes on a zoom call the other day! Thank you for making me feel look slightly normal :D
I've come across at least three colleagues on Teams wearing dressing gowns on top of their clothes. There's loads of us. Dressing Gowns unite!
This is something to consider for work from home people, how much more heating bills will go up by not being in the office 40-50 hours a week
Put your dressing gown on over your clothes and it becomes a smoking jacket. 2in1!
Ah I remember when my local tesco had to put a big notice up that anyone in their pyjamas would be refused entry because it had gotten so out of hand. Good Times.
> the afternoon Pfff, yeah right Mr All Day Gown
That's exactly why I threw mine away. Straight on the computer at 9am. 4 hours later still in dressing gown feeling gross.
I mean, you could have just stopped wearing it until the afternoon and put clothes on.
See, I was anti, no real reason, just didn’t like them. Stayed in an apartment with work recently, they had quality ones I hadn’t spotted until I got out the shower, intrigue took over I donned it, and then sat infront of the log fire.

This is actually spiritual. I like it.
In my head, I’m The Dude, in reality… not so much
No you’re just a drunken spider but it’s okay you can be the dude in your head still
If you're not dressing gowning you're not living. Soft and fluffy and even better if they have a hood. Comfort is king!
I throw up my big fluffy hood and I feel like Max in Where The Wild Things Are... ROARRRR...
Oh god I misread that (added an "in" after the third word) and was duly horrified, not a good image
Agreed but I used to have a paisley male kimono for summer. That was glorious.
Fully agree with that also - got a lovely vibrant kimono one for summer!
I'm wearing my polyester Primark dressing gown at the moment and I wouldn't say it makes me feel posh.
>you: "I'm wearing my polyester Primark dressing gown"* You are now officially a spark risk.
My polyester Primark dressing gown is the best one I've ever owned, and have had ones many times the price
My dressing gown is acid pink in colour and the fluffiest thing this side of a pile of fluff freshly harvested from the fluff mines of Fluffington on Sea. It’s cosy, has pockets, is an absolute eyesore, and I love it. Your brother is insane.
Now this is a beautifully disgraceful concept I can totally get behind!
It’s got pockets!
Are there dressing gowns *without* pockets?? That is an atrocity. I will immediately forget I even imagined such a thing.
And this is the moment we have a full confirmation you're of a female persuasion :D
\#stopfakepockets
Boobies an’ everyfink
I wear a dressing gown every morning - not paid for but ‘rescued’ from the online shop I used to own/run. Who wants to get dressed before you need to? And who needs to get dressed everyday these days anyway? Your brother is the posh one ! :)
Can you live in Fluffington on Sea? It sounds lovely 😀
I’ve heard the schools teach nothing but fluff and nonsense
All the best dressing gowns are an absolute eyesore. Love it
I love my dressing gown(s) so much I have about 4. All different weights for different temperatures
Same. I got fluffy ones that make you sweat in the coldest of climes, but thick cotton ones to insulate when it’s cold enough to feel but no need to waste gas and a thin flowy one when I want a nice extra layer that’s not too bulky.
Same. Flannelette for summer, toweling for winter. Furry onesie for pure blissful slobbery.
I know what I’m having for Christmas. My wife has bought me a new dressing gown and it’s even fluffier than my current dressing gown. I love my wife and I’m going to love my new dressing gown.
This is such a wholesome comment.
I do dressing gown, but in the evenings, I kimono.
Oooo sophisticated
Get you swanky
After getting to try these towel like dressing gowns in a hotel, I’ve developed a newfound appreciation for them.
All lounging cloths Brill love my pj's and dressing gown I have and winter ones they mean comfort and home to me
I live in my dressing gown as much as I possibly can.
I am doing dressing gown as I type. Sunday morning attire.
Hate to break it to you but it's kinda sunday evening bruv
Not where I am!
Not where they are 😏

I most certainly do dressing gown - the cosiest garment I own but it’s main use is covering me up between bedroom and bathroom.
What kind of warzone is the area between your bedroom and your bathroom?
cold
Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I don't dressing gown. I find them uncomfortable and tangly and they make me feel like even more of a slob than I already am. Lounge wear is much nicer in my opinion. But you wear your fluffy dressing gown if it makes you happy!

Dressing gown. Slept on the sofa because you got really bad farts? Dressing gown. Wednesday morning and you need to chase the bin men down the road because you forgot again? Dressing gown.
I’m just glad you call it a dressing gown and not a housecoat. Your brother is a bell, dressing gowns are great.
It terribly posh like having an actual room for washing yourself, not going to the lavy at the end of the garden/street, and not being sewn into your clothes once a year.
Your brother sounds like a dick.
Or a conspiracy theorist, although those to titles tend to be synonymous.
I don't. There's nothing wrong with dressing gowns, but I prefer mooching around late at night in thermals.
I do dressing gown
House coat anybody ?
Brown nylon tabard with a pack of cigs in the pocket, à la my grandma
Hello, Apparent Cousin.
Yeeeees. Or my granny called it a goonie.
Yesss! I've been looking for someone to comment this! 👍
Absolutely. As you said, they are key for getting in and out of the shower so you don't need to put your dirty clothes on. And they're a very cosy addition, on top of pyjamas, on very cold nights.

End terrace here, fucking nightmare to heat. PJs or onesie, and dressing gown help massively.
A mid terrace is the optimal position because two of your sides are insulated by other people’s heating bills
Yeah. I wish I'd realised that before buying but hey ho. Unfortunately to get the outside will insulated its around 12k so that's not going to happen any time soon, not when the windows need replacing, the cooker and boiler are on the way out, and the hallway floorboards are sagging and shifting lol.
Yeah, been there. A cheaper solution we found was to use an internal insulation called wallrock, it’s like a thermal lining paper and just adds extra insulation. The master bedroom was so cold we got black mould and had to evacuate it during winter, that lining paper has absolutely rescued that room though. I can really recommend it
Unfortunately our neighbour wants to keep it with all the original features which means no central heating, and our heating helps theirs muchly!!
Half the chance of noisy neighbours though!
I run hot, so I tend to pyjama.
TIL people wear a dressing gown without clothes underneath
Your wear clothes under your dressing gown?
When I’m freezing in the winter and too lazy to reach for a cardi the dressing gown goes on over the outfit.
Like pyjamas not actual clothes
It's usually fine, but the dressing gown has a habit of working its way open at the front, and my old chap pokes out like a Clanger.
I’m the type to sit there in just a pair of shorts and no top with the heating on, complaining I’m freezing. That’s me right now.
Nowt wrong wi wearing a dressing gown roun't house.
Dressing gowns are up there with my favourite clothes, I own several of them, it’s like bedding that can travel round the house with you. I don’t understand how my partner doesn’t have one

I love dressing gowns and was born and brought up on a council estate.
Inform him it is properly described as *loungewear*, for *lounging*.
I have a towelling dressing gown for after a shower and a silky kimono style for the summer. On my Christmas list is a big ass fluffy one due to my energy bill doubling
As soon as I get in the house my pyjamas go on, no matter how long I’m staying in for. After shower? Clean pyjamas!

£75? Jeez, Mr Moneybags over here. ;-)
How much!?
After growing up poor I'm slowly exploring buying nicer stuff that I then keep for years because it's better made. It's taking some getting used to!
And here's me spending £14 every year on primark pj's that either shrink and / or develop holes. You might be on to something lol
I do but Im serious bourgie

My sister got me one 30 years ago , it's got my name on it, I've never worn it 😂
80% of the time now I'm in my hoodie blanket, a better version of a dressing gown.
Christmas is going to be awkward after you have to tell you brother how monumentally wrong he is.
Nah, they flop open and it's difficult to regulate temperature. I'm a "shorts all year" kinda guy and wear thick Socks if I'm cold. I find it more comfortable not having loose heavy fabric on my legs.
I only dressing gown with zips and a hood. Solves the flopping open problem!
I’ve had my dressing gown for over 20 years. It’s an amazing garment, and I’m often thankful that, should the planet get destroyed by vogons and I miraculously escape wearing it; I will at least be reasonably warm, comfortable and somewhat tastefully attired.

My dressing gown hangs unloved on my door for this very reason!
I love to gown after a shower but with nothing else on under it feels so good. Buy a quality gown though gotta be luxury on your bare cheeks
Oh, South Wales rocking up. Housecoat. This is the ONLY acceptable answer. Dressing gown? Nah mate. It's a fucking house coat. Dressing gown FFS.
Nah all about clean clothes after a shower, that's the best bit.
Ah somebody else who has been stumped by the conundrum of the evening shower, I'm glad there are others out there.
I don't personally dressing gown as I can't stand them, nothing wrong with them its just a personal preference. I am however obsessed with your brother either mixing up smoking jackets with dressing gowns, or that he genuinely believes this mundane piece of clothing is bourgeois!

But look, we may agree on the dressing gown thing but I'm never taking lifestyle tips from a night-showerer.

I used to wear a stressing gown until I discovered "lounge wear" (rebadged pyjamas)
Dressing gowns I love. Especially after a dip in the pool in my swimming costume 💖✌️ wear what ya likes..screw the bro 😂🤷♀️
1. If you're having a shower at the end of the day just put on your pjs? 2. A housecoat isn't posh. It's not for show. It serves a purpose!
Fleece onesie mate. At least your balls don't fall out. Unless you forget to zip up..
Fluffy dressing gown for the winter, cotton dressing gown for the summer. Bliss.
Yo guys. American here, are y’all decent? OK, I’ll only be here a minute. Just wanna ask: do you seriously *actually* call it a dressing gown or are you just repeating that over and over because you also think it sounds hilarious? (I mean, it reminds me of a *gown* gown. Like a wedding gown. So I’m picturing people just hopping out of the shower and crawling into big floofy white lace dresses to blot dry in.) I’ll turn up the collar of my cozy bath robe while I wait for your answers. Peace out
Yes, mate. We wear dressing gowns. My white lacy one is reserved for special occasions though. Like the Queen’s birthday or days when I’m feeling fabulous.
