What the woman in the picture is wearing (pic in comments)? My DH always makes fun of what I refer to these items as, so, thought I would do something new and make a poll.
ETA: bonus points for what part of the country you're from!
I don't know why, but I own a robe, but have ALWAYS referred to it as a "house coat" and my "slippers" are "house shoes". My DH is always joking with me about that! He is team robe and slippers.
Re: What do you call...
ETA: My BIL calls them house shoes.
House coats have zippers and house shoes are not fluffy.

But a lot of people around here would call them house shoes
This is a house coat.
And I've only known extremely old or extremely obese people to wear one.
From Milwaukee, WI!
I voted SS because I know the difference, but I still use the words interchangeably.
The only people I've ever heard call them houseboats are old people.
I've never heard of house shoes. It sounds ridiculous, lol.
