16 Best Robes That You’ll Want to Live In
You may not don the best robes outside of your home, but somehow, they still have the unique ability to make you feel fancy even when you're relaxed in your jammies. Snag the right one, and we'd even argue that plush robe could turn the drabbest of Mondays in a shoebox apartment into a luxurious stint at the Ritz—albeit, one that's all in your head.
Whether you're stepping out of the shower or prepping a cup of coffee, a cozy robe is the ultimate at-home layering and lounging piece—sorry to your favorite sweatpants and your black leggings. And most options can be worn year-round, in warm or cold climates.
The key is to select something that's both comfy and chic, plus has important design details to improve functionality and absorb quickly if you're in the market for a bathrobe. You know, like a tie waist that actually stays closed and maybe even front pockets for your phone or the remote… because you may as well have it all.

Best Overall Bathrobe: Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe
Brooklinen's super-plush robe is just like its top-rated bath towels that have the same name: They're both made of soft Turkish cotton that gets better the longer you wear them. The robe has wide sleeves, functional cuffs, and roomy pockets. For the high quality at a sub-$100 price, it's no wonder this style consistently sells out. (Psst: It's a Glamour-reader favorite for gifting moms.)
- Material: 100% Turkish cotton
- Sizes available: XS–XL
- Colors available: Five core colors and two limited edition colors
- Features: OEKO-TEX-certified, machine-washable

Best Robe for Lounging: Skims Soft Lounge Robe
Soft and drapey, this modal and spandex robe makes for an impeccably chic and comfy cover-up that glides over the skin like butter.

- Sizes available: XXS–4X
- Colors available: Three classic colors and two limited edition colors
- Features: Adjustable self-tie belt, side pocket; machine-washable

Best Waffle Robe: Cozy Earth Waffle Bath Robe
Textured waffle weaves have become increasingly popular in the bath department, but they can often feel flimsy and thin. You don't have to worry about that with this robe from Cozy Earth. The brand makes a heavier-weight option that can go toe to toe with classic cotton bathrobes. It's also double-sided, a surprising rarity; there's a soft waffle layer and a plush terry cloth layer so you can use it both as a loungewear robe and an actual bathrobe.
- Material: 60% cotton, 40% viscose from bamboo
- Sizes available: XS/S–XL/XXL
- Colors available: Charcoal, white, light gray
- Features: Adjustable waist tie, two pockets; machine-washable
- What reviewers say: “Very soft and warm. Washes beautifully. Love the way it fits, wrapping around to completely cover. Very well made. Not heavy, but not light. Perfect weight and would highly recommend this robe if in need of one.” —reviewer on Cozy Earth
- 4/16
Best Silk Robe for Women: Lunya Washable Silk Robe
Another customer- and Glamour-reader-loved pick is the Lunya Washable Silk Robe. Just like the brand's signature pajamas, this robe is made entirely of washable silk and comes in a handful of colors. It's a great splurge gift for women (or anyone you know that gives off Katharine Hepburn vibes) since it can be personalized.
- Material: 100% silk
- Sizes available: XS/S–1X
- Colors available: Five colors at Lunya
- Features: Machine-washable
- What our tester says: “The second you cocoon yourself in this ridiculously soft, ultra-luxurious silk, you’ll understand why they’re so expensive. And washing is much easier than I anticipated, though I definitely recommend putting the silk in a mesh bag so it doesn't snag." — Lindsay Schallon, contributor

Best Turkish Cotton Robe: Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe
This fluffy house robe is a winner for anyone who runs hot or is looking for more of a cover-up than a heavy bathrobe.

Best Hooded Robe: L.L. Bean Women’s Wicked Plush Robe

So thankful my friend randomly mentioned this robe to me!” —reviewer on L.L. Bean

- What our tester says: “I had one of these robes for years, and it was one of my favorite things in my closet. It's so comfortable and warm that I had to stop wearing it after I had kids, because I'd get too hot running around the house. I don't think that's a bad thing though—it's like a dream for the perennially cold. A real treat!” —Earley

Best Postpartum Robe: Knix Waffle Robe
Think of this robe as an upgrade to the one they give you at the spa but at a more wallet-friendly price point. It has the same texture as other waffle knits but is thinner and silkier for added comfort and better mobility. If you live in a warmer climate, you won't regret this buy.
