21 Best Bathrobes You’ll Want to Cozy Up to Right Now
Putting on a robe is basically a signal to your brain that it’s time to chill out. But just because that robe will probably never see the outside world, it doesn’t mean you should simply throw on any old thing.
With so many different choices out there, though, how do you decide which one to commit to? There are lots of fabric options from fleece and terrycloth to linen and cotton, not to mention short, midi, or long lengths, and a rainbow of color choices. You may even want a robe to top these pajamas or one of these lounge sets. So think about when you’re going to wear your robe. Do you want to lounge in it all day or is it a quick transition piece between bathing and getting dressed? Does it need to keep you warm? Do you prefer something light or heavy against your skin?
Whether you’re coming out of the shower, sitting down with a cup of coffee, or spending the day binge-watching your favorite show, here are our picks for your soon-to-be-favorite robe. Don’t forget to add a pair of warm socks.
Best overall robe: Classic Bathrobe from Parachute
There was once a 1,900 person long waiting list for this bathrobe, and it’s easy to see why. It literally checks all the boxes for everything you’d want in a robe: Soft? Check. Warm? Check. Absorbent? Check. The right length? Check. Comfortable? Check check. Made of 100 percent Turkish cotton, it comes in four colors and is, indeed, the classic bathrobe—and the best bathrobe for women. Here are some classic slippers to go with it.
Best waffle robe: Waffle Robe from Brooklinen
Waffle weave robes are popular because they’re so comfortable, and this one, made of 100 percent Turkish cotton, is the best of the best. The bedding experts at Brooklinen know a thing or two about relaxation, and they’ve created a thicker, more generously cut waffle robe with a soft, spongy honeycomb texture that lets air flow easily, allowing the robe to dry quickly so you can unwind in style.
Best plush robe: Long Patterned Robe from Weezie
This beauty is so plush and cushy, you’ll feel like you’re being wrapped in a big hug. Made in Portugal from 100 percent organic cotton, it’s the perfect weight without being bulky, and it comes in half a dozen pretty pastel patterns. Plus, it’s got some really thoughtful features including an attached tie that won’t fall off and sleeves that can be buttoned up shorter so they won’t get soaked when you’re washing up.
Best value robe: Slub Knit Midi Robe from Yummie
This super-soft robe is filled with features that make its affordable price such a steal. Made of loose-knit slub jersey, it drapes beautifully to keep its shape.

It’s also tag-free so you don’t have to worry about scratchy labels.
Best lightweight robe: Relaxation Robe from Grey State
A highlight of the new Wellness Collection from woman-owned-and-operated Grey State, this aptly-named robe is lightweight and silky smooth. Made of Brisbane terry, it has a shirring detail at the back yoke for casual style and a drawcord at the waist to provide shape and hold the removable belt in place. It feels so natural, you’re likely to forget you’re wearing it.
Best robe for new moms: Posh Peanut Eloise Robe
This Posh Peanut robe is made of the softest, most buttery buttery viscose from bamboo. It’s designed to grow with her during pregnancy and works postpartum, too. Best of all, you can find matching baby sleep bags and pajamas so mom can match her little.
Softest robe: Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Heathered Adult Robe
You really have to feel this for yourself to understand just how soft it is. Sure, you can compare it to clouds and pillows but it’s so much better than those because you can literally wrap yourself up in it.

Best hooded robe: Hooded Waffle Robe from RiLEY Home
A hood is a totally underrated robe feature—and one you’ll want to consider.

Best terry cloth robe: 100% Organic Cotton Hooded Terry Robe from Farm to Home
Because of its unparalleled ability to absorb water, terry cloth is often considered the gold standard of robe fabrics.

It’s generously sized for maximum comfort.

Machine washable, it’s got a shawl collar, banded cuffs, a matching silk belt, and an internal tie closure. This bestselling robe comes in a variety of colors and is truly a classic.
Best linen robe: Linen Robe from Piglet
Linen is, surprisingly, an ideal robe fabric because it’s warm and cozy in the winter and fresh and cool in the summer. It even gets softer with wear—which means it will become super soft as you’ll find yourself wearing it all the time. One size fits all, this robe is designed for an oversized, relaxed feel, and it’s got a handy hanging loop and two large pockets. You can iron it for a more tailored look but its naturally crumpled texture has a casual elegance meant for lounging.
