I was trying to do some country shopping today. I was looking for robe tops, since all year round I work and go dressed every single day. But in the summer I go to country and enjoy the comfortability of going robe tops all week. I was at the lingerie shop and was so shocked to see that the prices for robes are more expensive than my outfits. I love wearing those t-shirts. (All printed). Were else can I find them. For some more reasonable price???

Can you explain what a "robe top" is? I am sure there is some reasonable facsimile available somewhere cheaper than what you found in that lingerie store.

If it is a printed tee-shirt of some sort, then you should be able to find it inexpensively at almost any major department store, or even a WalMart-type store.

Macy's and Lord & Taylors have a lot of such tops.
I shop at Fantasy Boutique in Williamsburg. I try to spend under $40 a top and only buy like 2 or 3.

I'm guessing its a zip up hoodie?

I think these have been described as tops that are really comfortable (??) I wonder if it's a top that many of us would just consider a regular top.

Sounds like it. In which case, I don't know why someone would buy it as an inflated price at a lingerie store. Go to any regular clothing store that sells knit tops. Pop into any mall, and WalMart, etc. in America.

a robe top is a pretty top that can be used as a robe. instead of being a one pc its a comfy top that you wear with a skirt.
I believe it would not have a full zipper as that would just be a hoodie.

Try Elzees
I saw tops outside for $16. Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for...

But what differentiates it from a regular top?

Robe tops are long sleeve high neck tops from thin comfy fabric. Lingerie shop is expensive but it is practical and super comfy and lasts forever. (Try finding modal fabric in a department store.)

Elzee had some topsort for under 20$ but they aren't cotton. I bought one and I'm very happy with it. Not shvitzy at all. I am going to get more. People are wearing it in the street instead of an outfit!

Last season I bought some cotton tops from Macy's . They were thick cotton and uncomfortable. It pills and got stretched out and was in the garbage before the end of the season.

Will someone PLEASE post a picture? Is this like the ever elusive shpitzel that everyone talks about, but no one can prove actually exists? I'm beginning to think that there must be unicorns out there too, but no one has a camera on hand when they actually see one. Confused

There are none listed on that site. Perhaps I missed something? I'm with FF, I want a visual so I can identify it in the wild. Are these garments worn inside? Outside?

Oh and this "People are wearing it in the street instead of an outfit! " What does this mean?
