The spa gowns you should never wear

On Monday, the Globe and Mail launched the first of a series of special-issue articles about the best and worst ways to dress for the spa.

But the article is not a quick read, as the subject matter has been heavily vetted by Globe staff.

“It’s the sort of piece that’s not really going to get you very far, but it’s an opportunity to learn a little bit about what people wear and what they might like to wear,” said John R. Kelly, senior vice-president of editorial operations and public affairs at the Globe.

“There’s a lot of different options out there, so it’s a good way to learn something about the world of fashion.”

The article is also available online in the Globe’s Style section.
