    TL;DR<\/p>\n

    \n

    Our favorite bathrobe we tested is Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Robe. It\u2019s soft, warm, and absorbent, and the plush fabric holds up well after wearing and washing. For a budget-friendly robe that is still high-quality and functional, we recommend the Amazon Essentials Women\u2019s Lightweight Waffle Full-Length Robe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Ahh, the bathrobe. From Hugh Hefner to Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman<\/em>, this loungewear is the ultimate symbol of relaxation and opulence. And anyone who has spent an entire weekend lounging in a hotel\u2019s robe knows the magic extends well beyond Hollywood. Whether you reach for it after your everything shower or when you need another layer while working from home, putting on a bathrobe instantly soothes and uplifts your mood.\n<\/p>\n

    Because a bathrobe is a staple you\u2019ll reach for constantly, you want to make sure it\u2019s the right material and style, as well as durable and easy to clean. To help you find the one, we tested 38 different bathrobes from popular brands at our homes. Over two weeks, we regularly washed and wore the robes and rated each on comfort, fit, design, and durability.After analyzing all the results, here are the best bathrobes that put us in a state of bliss. Whether you get one for yourself or as a gift to a loved one, it won\u2019t be a purchase you\u2019ll regret.\n<\/p>\n

    If wrapping yourself up in a blanket is your preferred form of loungewear, then Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe won\u2019t disappoint. Coming from the brand known for its fuzzy socks, it\u2019s essentially a blanket in robe form. The polyester microfiber was oh-so fuzzy and cozy, and it had a nice weight and stretch to it, making it ideal for colder months when we truly want to bundle up. We were also pleasantly surprised that the plush material absorbed any runoff water and dampness from the body, leaving us warm and dry.\n<\/p>\n

    The robe only comes in four sizes\u2014we got the smallest one, and even so, it was very long on the 5-foot-3-inch frame of our tester and a bit too long in the sleeves, making us believe the robe runs large. Bet hey, that only further plays into the giant blanket aesthetic. While the fabric didn\u2019t have any issues with shedding or lint, it does require a bit more attention to maintain the fluffiness, so be sure to double-check the care instructions before throwing it into the wash.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    As the creator of our beloved slippers, Ugg did not surprise us by making thesoftest robe. Made from a double-face fleece knit, the robe was extremely cuddly and warm. While some robes have annoying tags or seams, nothing about this robe irritated our skin, and even at 37 weeks pregnant, our tester felt unrestricted and comfortable while wearing it. We did order one size up to accommodate their growing tummy, and the robe ran true to size with the sleeves and hem all falling in the right places. The plush material didn\u2019t shed or wrinkle, and the robe stayed in tip-top shape after wearing and washing it consistently. Though the material wasn\u2019t as absorbent as a terry cloth or a waffle robe, we couldn\u2019t get over how delightful it felt against our skin, and it easily became our favorite robe for lounging ever.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    Texture: <\/strong>Cotton | Length:<\/strong> Calf | Size Range: <\/strong>XS-XL | Materials:<\/strong> 100% Turkish cotton | Colors: <\/strong>10\n<\/p>\n

    On those mornings when we are so rushed, we don\u2019t have time to towel dry; this is the robe we reach for. Inspired by the brand\u2019s Super-Plush towels, this robe is made of combed, long-staple Turkish cotton, so it dried us up every time we threw it on straight from the shower. Putting it on felt like being embraced in a warm hug, yet not too hot. In fact, it\u2019s great for year-round wear.\n<\/p>\n

    Because it\u2019s made from 100% cotton, it has no stretch, so we recommend sizing up if you prefer an oversized fit. The sleeves were a bit too long on our petite frame, but we could easily roll them up. We also recommend washing the robe before wearing it for the first time\u2014we didn\u2019t do this and were covered in fuzz after the first wear. Once we washed it, the robe didn\u2019t shed anymore. Still, we think the luxurious feel and absorbent material make it worth the price.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    While some of us look for every opportunity to cuddle in our robes, others just want a simple robe they can throw on after a shower and go. If you fall in the latter camp, Amazon\u2019s Waffle Robe is for you. Made from a blend of cotton and polyester, the robe was soft and super lightweight, perfect for wearing all year round. Because it wasn\u2019t bulky, we could easily tie it shut and move around as we got ready without feeling restricted or like it could pop open at any moment. The two outside pockets were wide and deep, ideal for stashing our phone or keys while we grabbed the mail. The material performed way better than $25 could suggest\u2014we didn\u2019t notice any fuzz, lint, discoloration, or wrinkles as we wore and washed it. We\u2019re also impressed that it comes in such a wide size range\u2014up to 7X in certain colors. For those who want an affordable, practical waffle robe, this one is it.\n<\/p>\n

    Skims is one of the few brands offering a robe that goes up to size 4X and down all the way to XXS. Besides the extensive size range, we instantly fell in love with the robe’s unique material. Made from buttery soft modal, the short robe is a great option for those who don\u2019t want the bulkiness of a plush robe but still want something cozier than silk. The ribbed fabric had a decent weight to it that was quite comforting against the skin and prevented wrinkles, even straight from the package. The material also didn\u2019t pile, stretch out, or shed at all during the testing period.\n<\/p>\n

    Despite keeping our apartment on the cooler side, we didn\u2019t get chilly with this robe on, nor did we overheat. The fit itself was the right balance of being loose yet not oversized. Our only complaint was that the sleeves were a bit too long and we couldn\u2019t easily roll them up, but that\u2019s not a deal breaker.\n<\/p>\n

    How do you know a robe is good? When the thing you are most looking forward to when you come home is putting it on. That\u2019s exactly how we felt about Restoration Hardware\u2019s plush long robe. The fluffy fabric felt absolutely delightful against our skin, and we appreciated that the long length allowed our legs to be wrapped up in softness. While plush robes can sometimes feel hot and stuffy, we never overheated in this robe, even when the weather was 90 degrees outside. We were also pleasantly surprised that the material didn\u2019t shed, nor did it lose its fluffy texture after washing. With two deep pockets, this robe was the ultimate companion when binge-watching a show on our couch\u2014we stuffed the pockets with fries for the ultimate TV snack (don\u2019t judge us!). The sleeves were a tad too long, but that can be forgiven. If you have a loved one who enjoys lounging as much as us, order the monogrammed version for the perfect gift.\n<\/p>\n

    After constantly hearing people rave about Parachute\u2019s robes, we decided to test out the short waffle robe, and we now understand the hype. It felt like a luxury hotel bathrobe, and we could tell the material was high-quality thanks to the precise stitching and lack of loose threads. Unlike those thick, long robes we might only wear in cold weather, this robe\u2019s cotton waffle weave was so light and breathable that we reached for it daily regardless of the temperature.\n<\/p>\n

    We went with our typical size, and the robe was slightly oversized, but we didn\u2019t consider that a bad thing. Due to the loose fit, we easily layered pajamas underneath and still felt unrestricted to move around freely. The robe had no problem staying shut, likely due to the texture of the fabric. We were even impressed by the low-maintenance washing instructions and how good the fabric looked after wearing and washing. Needless to say, the robe exceeded our expectations.\n<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019ve always fantasized about owning a silk robe but never made the plunge, we\u2019re here to testify that the Lunya Silk Robe is worth the investment. One of the main features that sets it apart is that the mulberry silk is actually machine washable (because dry cleaning your loungewear is overkill). After washing it ourselves, we can confirm the robe looks as good as new after a spin. We loved how light and sleek this robe felt, and because silk is temperature regulating, we could wear it both in warm and cold temperatures comfortably. With elastic cuffs at the sleeves, the robe didn\u2019t get in our way as we cooked or applied makeup.\n<\/p>\n

Rather than committing a crime (it is theft btw), you can buy this Cozy Earth bathrobe and feel like you are living it up on a vacationevery time you slip it on. It has that same weighted feeling, and the plush terry absorbs water effortlessly. Made from cotton and bamboo viscose, it\u2019s certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100 to not contain harmful chemicals, giving you the piece of mind to wear this day in and out. In terms of function, the roomy pockets held the TV remote and all our snacks as we moved from kitchen to sofa. We wore this robe as much as possible during the testing period and even after washing it several times, it still looked brand new.\n<\/p>\n

    While a couple of robes on this list are mom-tested and approved (UGG Women’s Marlow Robe and Cuyana Washable Charmeuse Robe), Storq raised the bar even further by designing a robe specifically with pregnancy in mind. The smooth modal stretched beautifully over our changing body, staying shut and fully covering our belly, thanks to the extra-long belt. One of the many changes that happen to the body during pregnancy is running warmer and heightened sensitivity to fabrics, so the lightweight soft modal kept us cool and irritation-free. Not to mention the fabric didn\u2019t pill, fade, or stretch out either.\n<\/p>\n

    Yet the biggest game changer is the sleeve length. While many robes come with extra-long sleeves, these end before the wrists. As a mother, we don\u2019t want to be constantly pushing up our sleeves or else have them dangling in breast milk, baby powder, or diapers. It\u2019s such a small change, yet it makes such a big difference. On top of that, we simply love how chic and refined this robe looks, rather than screaming \u201cmaternity!\u201d We\u2019ll be wearing it postpartum for sure.\n<\/p>\n

The unisex sizing is ideal for anyone in the family, and the bold, colorful striped design is eye-catching and fun. It features deep, functional pockets and a removable waist tie.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    We think some of the best gifts are those that one may not buy for themself but will get plenty of use from, like a luxurious silk robe. Not only is Cuyana\u2019s robe made from a beautiful charmeuse silk, but all the colors are gorgeous, from jade to champagne. Best of all, it\u2019s machine washable, and after laying it flat to dry as recommended, it looked great, with no piling or fading in sight.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    Besides the aesthetics, the robe was quite functional. The silk was lightweight and breathable, yet it didn\u2019t feel too flimsy or cheap. It\u2019s one of the few silk robes our tester tried that actually stayed close after tying, even over her pregnant belly. Seriously. We\u2019ve noticed Cuyana\u2019s sizes generally run large, so our tester sized down in this robe, and it fit her changing body perfectly. She’s confident it will fit postpartum too. Our tester loves it so much that she plans on bringing it to the hospital when giving birth, because hey, you’ve got to deliver in style.\n<\/p>\n

    We\u2019ll admit there are times when we get behind on our laundry, and we keep on wearing the same old bathrobe, but with this Cariloha number, we don\u2019t have to feel bad about it. Thanks to a blend of bamboo, cotton, and polyester, this robe wicked away moisture and resisted odors, further stretching our laundry cycle. We wore it daily during our test period, and we enjoyed how the robe retained heat and was very easy to move around in, with the belt staying intact. It does have that heavy, luxe spa-like feeling that may not be ideal in the summer, but is a dream the rest of the year. The inner lining is made from the brand\u2019s Comfy Soft Bamboo, which is extra cozy. Though it only comes in two sizes, the large felt like it was made for us, with the sleeves hitting right at our wrists. And to top it all off, it\u2019s a carbon-neutral product.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    What to Look for When Buying Bathrobes <\/span><\/h2>\n

    A good bathrobe can elevate your self-care routine from so-so to seriously cozy. To determine which bathrobe is right for you, we suggest keeping the following points in mind.\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Materials: <\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for a robe that you can throw on straight from the shower, go for a cotton robe. \u201cMore insulating than alluring, I gravitate towards cotton terry for its quick absorbency and because it doesn\u2019t leave any fuzzies on my skin after my post-shower routine,\u201d says fashion stylist Heather Newberger. If you\u2019re simply looking for a robe to cuddle up on a chilly morning, you may be better off with flannel or plush options. And for those who run hot, a silk or lightweight modal option can give you the comfort of throwing on a robe without overheating.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    • Length:<\/strong> For those who want as much warmth and comfort as possible, opt for a long robe that hits the knee or below. Yet those who run warm or simply want something less bulky and easier to travel with might be better off with a short robe.<\/li>\n
    • Features: <\/strong>A good bathrobe should come with generously sized pockets large enough to fit your phone or TV remote. For extra coziness, opt for a hood. When selecting a silk robe, look for internal ties to help keep it shut.<\/li>\n
    • Easy to Clean: <\/strong>Always look at the cleaning instructions before you click add to cart\u2014you’ll probably want something machine or hand-washable to avoid running to the dry cleaners over every coffee spill. (Or wine, no judgment.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Below are the features our editors and contributors evaluated over the course of two weeks to determine our top picks.\n<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Quality:<\/strong> No matter the fabric of your bathrobe, it must be high-quality. We considered the material of each bathrobe, noting its softness and\u2014if we wore it right after showering\u2014how well it absorbed water. We also tracked which bathrobes held up best over the testing period, docking points for any pilling, shedding, or stretching.<\/li>\n
      • Comfort:<\/strong> Coziness is the name of the game with bathrobes, so we paid attention to which options felt the most comfortable. We disqualified options with features that led to irritation or discomfort (like tags or seams), along with robes that caused us to overheat.<\/li>\n
      • Design:<\/strong> While the bathrobe design one prefers is largely up to the individual, certain facets can be helpful across the board. We observed which options stayed tied easily, noting when they had an extra tie on the inside to ensure they remained closed. We also took note of additional features and awarded points for useful ones like pockets or hoods.<\/li>\n
      • Fit:<\/strong> Though most bathrobes are not form-fitting, we considered whether each option ran small, large, or true to size. We also noted anything disproportionate about the fit, docking points for inconsistencies in each robe\u2019s armpits, or length.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        FAQ<\/div>\n

          What size do I order in a bathrobe?<\/span><\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          \n

          You can typically order your usual size in a bathrobe, but always check the brand-specific size guide. You also want to consider if you prefer your bathrobe to be fitted or more oversized, and size up or down appropriately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

          How do you tie a bathrobe?<\/span><\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          \n

          How you tie your bathrobe is totally up to you. Some prefer a loose knot, while others do a double tie to ensure it doesn\u2019t open. If you find that your robe keeps on sliding open, check if there are internal ties that can help to keep it shut.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
