The 14 Best Bathrobes of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Because a bathrobe is a staple you’ll be reaching for constantly, you want to make sure it’s 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 the course of two weeks, we regularly washed and wore the robes and rated each one on comfort, fit, design, and durability. After analyzing all the results, here are the best bathrobes that put us in a state of bliss. Regardless if you get one for yourself or as a gift to a loved one, it won’t be a purchase you’ll regret.

The company is the world’s best cotton bath dress manufacturer supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

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

Our favorite bathrobe that we tested is UGG’s Women's Marlow Robe . It’s soft, warm, and true to size, 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’s Lightweight Waffle Full-Length Robe .

As the creator of our beloved slippers, Ugg did not surprise us by making the softest — and therefore our favorite—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’t shed or wrinkle, and the robe stayed in tip-top shape after wearing and washing it consistently. Though the material wasn’t as absorbent as a terry cloth or a waffle robe, we couldn’t get over how delightful it felt against our skin, and it easily became our favorite lounging robe, ever.

Amazon Essentials Waffle Full-Length Robe

Texture: Waffle | Length: Calf | Size Range: XS-7X | Materials: 60% Cotton, 40% Polyester | Colors: 15

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’s 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’t 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 $24 could suggest—we didn’t notice any fuzz, lint, discoloration, or wrinkles as we wore and washed it. We’re also impressed that it comes in such a wide size range—up to 7X in certain colors. For those who want an affordable, practical robe, this one is it.

Texture: Silk | Length: Knee | Size Range: XS/S-1X | Materials: 100% Mulberry Silk | Colors: Black, Grey, Blue, Beige, White, Purple

If you’ve always fantasized about owning a silk robe but never made the plunge, we’re 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’t get in our way as we cooked or applied makeup.

"I think this is better than the other robes I've had in the past because this one was the lightest I've tried. I always feel like robes are bulky and make you feel gross after wearing them for a while. You barely notice that you have this robe on."

Texture: Plush | Length: Ankle | Size Range: 1-3 | Materials: 100% Polyester | Colors: White, Gray, Pearl, Blue

If wrapping yourself up in a blanket is your preferred form of loungewear, then Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe won’t disappoint. Coming from the brand known for its fuzzy socks, it’s 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.

The robe only comes in three sizes—we got the smallest one and even so, it was very long on the 5’3” 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’t 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.

Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe

Texture: Plush | Length: Calf | Size Range: XS-XL | Materials: 100% Turkish Cotton | Colors: 10

On those mornings when we are so rushed, we don’t have time to towel dry, this is the robe we reach for. Inspired by the brand’s 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’s great for year-round wear.

Because it’s made from 100% cotton, it doesn’t have any 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 first—we didn’t do this and were covered in fuzz after the first wear. Once we washed it, the robe didn’t shed anymore. Still, we think the luxurious feel and absorbent material make it worth the price.

"The material is very plush and comfortable. You can definitely tell that it's a luxe robe, and there's good weight to it without making you feel like you're going to overheat."

$93

Texture: Plush | Length: Knee | Size Range: S/M-L/XL | Materials: 32% Viscose from Bamboo, 13% Egyptian Cotton, 40% Micro Polyester, 15% Polyester | Colors: White, Grey

We’ll 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’t 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’s 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’s a carbon-neutral product.

Cuyana Washable Charmeuse Robe

Cuyana

View On Cuyana.com

Texture: Silk | Length: Knee | Size Range: XS-XL | Materials: 100% Washable Charmeuse Silk | Colors: Black, Jade, Palm, Pearl, Blue

For those looking for a robe that’s sophisticated enough to wear out in the real world, this is it. Not only is Cuyana’s robe made from a beautiful charmeuse silk, but all the colors are gorgeous from jade to champagne. Best of all, it’s machine washable and after laying it flat to dry as recommended, it looked great, with no piling or fading in sight. 

Besides the aesthetics, the robe was quite functional. The silk was lightweight and breathable, yet it didn’t feel too flimsy or cheap. It’s one of the few silk robes we tried that actually stayed close after tying, even over our pregnant belly. Seriously. We’ve noticed Cuyana’s sizes generally run large, so we sized down in this robe, and it fit our changing body perfectly, and we are confident it will fit postpartum too. We love it so much that we plan on bringing it to the hospital when giving birth, because hey, you got to deliver in style.

"This would make a perfect gift for a new mom, a bride to be, a birthday gift...great for any gifting situation, really, where you want to give an elevated present. It's one of those luxe items that people would be hesitant to splurge on themselves."

Kashwere Signature Shawl Collar Robe

Texture: Plush | Length: Ankle | Size Range: XS-3X | Materials: Chenilla | Colors: 8

Wearing this robe was so euphoric, soft isn’t even the right word to describe it. From the way the chenille fabric sprang from the packaging, we knew we were going to love it. Yet while it’s not made from cotton, it was extremely absorbent, soaking up any spots we missed. We were a little worried the fluffy fabric might shed, but we didn’t notice any traces of that. We loved how the brand’s logo was imprinted on the robe itself, ditching the tag and any irritation. We wore this robe every morning and night, and though it might have been a bit too hot on an 80-degree day, we know we’ll love it even more in the winter. Best of all, it was finally long enough for our taller frame, indicating it’s a great option for women and men alike.

Byrdie / Chantia Murphy

"I would recommend everyone, regardless of their identity, and even if they aren't a robe person to RUN, not walk, to a store and go get you one of these. I guarantee this robe can convince anyone to become a robe person."

Parachute Waffle Robe

$129

Texture: Waffle | Length: Knee | Size Range: XS-XL | Materials: Turkish Cotton | Colors: White, Tan, Green, Grey

After constantly hearing people rave about Parachute’s robes, we decided to test out the short waffle robe, and we now understand the hype. It felt just 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’s cotton waffle weave was so light and breathable that we reached for it daily regardless of the temperature.

We went with our typical size and the robe was slightly oversized, but we didn’t 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.

RH Luxury Plush Long Robe

Texture: Plush | Length: Ankle | Size Range: XS-XL | Materials: Polyester | Colors: White, Sand, Nickel, Graphite

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’s exactly how we felt about Restoration Hardware’s 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’t shed nor did it lose its fluffy texture after washing. With two deep pockets, this robe was the ultimate companion when binging a show on our couch—we stuffed the pockets with fries for the ultimate TV snack (don’t 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.

"This is by far the most comfy robe I own, and I cannot express how lovely it was to come home and put on something so nice. It felt like a warm hug."

Texture: Flannel | Length: Knee | Size Range: S-XXXL | Materials: Cotton Portuguese Flannel | Colors: 8

L.L.Bean’s Flannel Robe accomplished a rare feat—it was lightweight yet exceptionally warm. The brand nails the classic style with plaid patterns in eight vibrant shades. Even after washing, the colors looked just as bright, and there was no lint or piling either. Another bonus is that the brand makes this in tall sizes as well, making it a great fit for all. We had extra room to layer pajamas underneath the robe, and the sleeves weren’t too short. Roomy pockets kept our hands warm and phone conveniently nearby. And with the option to add a monogram, it makes a great holiday gift.

"I am 6'8" and I got a Large Tall and I had plenty room in both length and in width. I was able to tighten as little or much as I was looking for and remain comfortable and the arm length was perfect that I always felt like I had plenty of room in the armpit area to maneuver."

Skims Soft Lounge Robe

Texture: Ribbed | Length: Mid Thigh | Size Range: XXS-4X | Materials: 91% Modal, 9% Spandex | Colors: Black, Gray, White

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’t 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’t pile, stretch out, or shed at all during the testing period.

Despite keeping our apartment on the cooler side, we didn’t 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’t easily roll them up, but that’s not a deal breaker.

Storq Feel Good Delivery Robe

Storq

View On Storq.com

Texture: Smooth Jersey | Length: Ankle | Size Range: XS/S-3XL/4XL | Materials: 94% Modal, 6% Spandex | Colors: Black, Stone

While a couple of robes on this list are mom tested and approved (UGG Women's Marlow Robe and Cuyana Washable Charmeuse Robe) Stroq 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’t pill, fade, or stretch out either.

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’t want to be constantly pushing up our sleeves or else have them dangling in breast milk, baby powder, or diapers. It’s such a small change yet makes such a big difference. On top of that, we simply love how chic and refined this robe looks, rather than screaming “maternity!” We’ll be wearing it postpartum for sure.

Four Seasons Spa Robe

Texture: Smooth | Length: Calf | Size Range: M-XXXL | Materials: Microsuede Exterior, Microfibre Terry Interior | Colors: White

If you’ve ever contemplated slipping a hotel robe into your suitcase, we have good news for you. Rather than committing a crime (it is theft btw), you can buy the Four Seasons iconic bathrobe and feel like you are living it up on a vacation every time you slip it on. We’ve tried lots of robes—even those upwards of $800—yet this is one of the most luxurious we’ve worn. The inside is made of the plushest terry material that feels like getting hugged by a cloud, while the outside is a smooth microsuede. In terms of function, the roomy pockets held the TV remote and all our snacks as we moved from the kitchen to the 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. Our only complaints were that it wasn’t the most absorbent robe, and the combination of terry and suede was quite insulating, so you may want to opt for a lighter option in the summer. Besides that, size up for that iconic hotel bathrobe vibe.

While it's true you don't necessarily need a bathrobe like you need shoes or a shirt, they are a small luxury that can elevate your daily experiences. The best bathrobes for men, styled with your favorite pair of the best slippers, can make our lives a little more enjoyable in a way that many other more utilitarian garments we wear outside the house can't.

Our top pick we tested is the Parachute Classic Turkish Cotton Robe, which stood out among the rest for being a perfect intersection of a plush towel and a comfortable, lightweight house coat. And since daylight savings season means retreating indoors for many of us, we recommend the Casper Snoozewear Blanket Robe. This one feels like being wrapped up in a duvet, complete with spacious sleeves and pockets. 

Besides the obvious details like stitching and quality fabrics, we considered the design, the lining (if any), the intended purpose, and the length of each robe we tested. Below are more of our favorite men's bathrobes for rounding out your loungewear collection.
