Is there an unwritten, or maybe written, rule somewhere that says you have to wear a robe when you answer the door?

Have you ever noticed in movies and TV when people get out of bed, they automatically put on a robe to answer the door or just leave the bedroom. Traditionally, I only wear a robe when I get out of the bath and it’s terry cloth.

I got DCM a robe of sweatshirt material, it’s long, long sleeve, has a hood and a batman logo. We put the hood on, laugh and say in that perfect Christian Bale voice “I’m Batman!”. I got it for him for when he goes on the deck, so he doesn’t always have to wear a jacket, it’s warm and toasty. So of course, I have to borrow it from time to time, I put it on like a sweater.

I understand an honest to goodness terry cloth robe to dry off or just getting out of the tub, flannel to keep warm, what I don’t get is people wearing a silk or silky robe, just to cover their jammies, a fashion statement.

Totally random, huh?
