Oprah-Approved

1. Barefoot Dreams Cozychic Robe

What We Like

  • machine washable
  • two front pockets
  • very roomy

What We Don’t Like

  • not dryer safe
  • few color options

Barefoot Dreams

You’ve probably heard of the celeb-adored Barefoot Dreams blankets (Oprah even included them in her “Top Ten Gifts to Give and Receive” in past years). This is basically the blanket in robe form. Each shawl-neck style is made from the brand’s signature CozyChic fabric, which purports to not ever shrink or pill. Per one reviewer, “[The material] is luxurious and thick and so, so soft. The robe is a nice length, the arms are very long, which I actually appreciate in a robe since I get so cold in the winter.”

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: 01 to 03 (roughly S to L)
  • Material: 100 percent polyester microfiber

Best Hooded Bathrobe

2. UGG Miranda Robe

What We Like

  • machine washable
  • dryer safe
  • two pockets

What We Don’t Like

  • few color options
  • reportedly runs small

UGG

Just a heads-up, you may have a hard time getting dressed in your actual clothes after you put on this hooded wrap. “This robe is sooo comfy. I get that ‘just [lay] down in bed after a long day’ feeling right when I put it on,” one buyer writes. The shorter length is still long enough for even tall frames, and the hood is plenty roomy for extra coziness. Reviews suggest it runs small, so you may want to go up one size from your usual.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to XL
  • Material: 100 percent polyester

Best Flannel

3. L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Robe

What We Like

  • machine washable
  • dryer safe
  • inner modesty tie

What We Don’t Like

  • only plaid color options

L.L.Bean

Long-staple cotton is woven into traditional plaid patterns, then each side of the fabric is brushed eight times to ensure that signature soft flannel feel. The knee-length cut of this L.L.Bean robe and front patch pockets are cute on everyone, and the plus and petite options let wearers select just the right proportions to stay warm without being swallowed in fabric. There’s also a modesty tie on the inside to ensure your robe stays closed even as you move about. “This is my second flannel robe from L.L.Bean,” writes one reviewer. “The first one still hasn’t worn out, I just wanted a new pattern. The fabric is amazing—soft, and a nice weight that holds up to years of washing and drying. Love the pockets.”

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to 3X, also Petite
  • Material: Portuguese cotton flannel

Best Affordable

4. Alexander Del Rossa Plush Bathrobe

What We Like

  • affordable price point
  • lots of color options
  • inclusive size range

What We Don’t Like

  • reportedly runs large

Alexander Del Rossa

This long fleece robe comes in sizes XS through 6X and is available in 18 beautiful hues, meaning there is a style for anyone and everyone, all for under 50 bucks. We adore the incredibly cozy material, which is warm but not stifling. There are also two sets of belt loops—one higher on the waist for shorter folks, and one lower for taller individuals—as an added fit bonus.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to 6X
  • Material: 100 percent polyester

Best Splurge-Worthy Option

5. Eberjey Giselle Robe

What We Like

  • machine washable
  • dryer safe
  • great for summer

What We Don’t Like

  • lighter hues may appear sheer

Eberjey

Eberjey is known for its expensive—but worth it—pajama sets. Naturally, this guy is no different. “I have always loved how pretty and comfortable this robe is. It’s somehow both warm and lightweight, so it feels seasonless,” explains Rachel Bowie, Director of Special Projects at PureWow. In fact, she loves it so much that she owns it in both pink and navy. Reviewers suggest it runs true to size, and also note the handy modesty tie on the inside to ensure your robe stays shut.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to XL
  • Material: 95 percent Tencel modal, 5 percent spandex

Best Fluffy Cotton Robe

6. Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe

What We Like

  • lots of color options
  • machine washable
  • dryer safe

What We Don’t Like

  • must be washed in cold water

Brooklinen

Commerce Director Pam Masin appreciates her Brooklinen robe. “It’s stayed soft after so many washings, and is still warm and fluffy, without making me feel like a giant marshmallow,” she says. Brooklinen’s robes are just as high-quality as its sheets because each one is made from 100 percent long-staple Turkish cotton. The design also features conveniently deep pockets, if that’s something that’s important to you.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to XL
  • Material: 100 percent Turkish cotton

Best Waffle Robe

7. Parachute Waffle Robe

What We Like

  • machine washable
  • Oeko-Tex materials used
  • two pockets

What We Don’t Like

  • reportedly runs small

Parachute

Tend to overheat easily? Opt for this lightweight number, made of 100 percent Turkish cotton. It’s the go-to for VP of editorial Candace Davison: “I’m a fan of Parachute’s cotton robe, which feels light but sturdy, and you don’t overheat if you wear it for more than 15 minutes.” And reviewers love the waffled texture and folded collar design with hip pockets, since it makes wearers feel like they’re at a world-class spa. Commerce Editor, Olivia Kappler is also a fan. “I am a sucker for waffle texture and this robe does it so well because it almost offers a little more stretch and roominess while also looking and feeling super high-end. I’m pregnant right now and it doesn’t quiteeee fit me as cozily as it did before, but I can’t wait to snuggle up in it again postpartum.”

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to XL
  • Material: 100 percent Turkish cotton

Best Linen Robe

8. Rough Linen St. Barts Linen Robe

What We Like

  • lots of color options
  • longer length
  • machine washable

What We Don’t Like

  • not dryer safe
  • some inconsistencies in sizing reported

Rough Linen

Linen is an impressive fabric in that it gets softer and softer with every wear and is naturally inclined to keep you feeling cool and fresh—two reasons why a linen robe is definitely worth the investment. This chic calf-length version from Rough Linen comes in a slew of chic colors (including lots of neutral tones), and there are two large patch pockets at the front for easy storage. And while it is machine washable, linen should generally be kept away from the dryer to avoid shrinking. “I absolutely adore this robe,” raves one reviewer. “It keeps me warm in the cool evenings, but with the sleeves rolled up, it’s never been too hot, even where I live in Georgia.”

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: S to XL
  • Material: 100 percent linen

Best Silk Robe

9. Lunya Washable Silk Long Robe

What We Like

  • machine washable
  • great for tall frames
  • made with bluesign-approved dyes

What We Don’t Like

  • not dryer safe

Lunya

Washable silk sounds too good to be true, right? Well, in this case it’s not. According to Lunya, you can machine wash this 100 percent silk robe (as long as you use the cold setting) and lay it flat to dry. Unlike most silk robes, it has pockets and an interior tie to ensure that everything stays in place, because we all know silk can get slippery. P.S. If you’re worried about the length, try the OG washable silk robe ($278), which hits closer to knee length, also goes up to a size 1X.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS/S to L/XL
  • Material: 100 percent silk

Best Cashmere Robe

10. Naked Cashmere Ynes Robe

What We Like

  • super-soft material
  • reportedly runs true to size

What We Don’t Like

  • hand wash or dry clean
  • high price point

Naked Cashmere

If silk isn’t your vibe, perhaps another luxury material will hit the spot. This incredibly soft cashmere stunner is just heavy enough to feel like a cozy hug without feeling overly warm or stuffy. It comes in a range of chic neutral hues and fits roughly sizes US 0 to 14. And while luscious cashmere like this does not come cheap, reviewers say it feels divine, even after months of use. Per one reviewer, “[It’s] made well, has a lovely soft feel and, frankly, when it is way below zero in the morning, it is a real treat to put on!”

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: S to L
  • Material: 100 percent cashmere

Best Bamboo Robe

11. Cozy Earth Bamboo Robe

What We Like

  • interior modesty tie
  • super-soft material
  • machine washable

What We Don’t Like

  • few color options

Cozy Earth

“This robe looks like a simple black robe,” says commerce director Nicole Breise, “but it’s the perfect cut—not too long, not too short—and feels so incredibly luxurious on. I feel like a Hollywood starlet in it. I also love it because If you really want to get fancy, it also comes in silk ($440).” As for sizing, Cozy Earth suggests this robe is cut for a “generous fit,” meaning if you’re between sizes you may want to opt for the smaller.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to XXXL
  • Material: 95 percent viscose from bamboo, 5 percent spandex

Best Maternity Robe

12. Monica + Andy Organic Lounge Robe

What We Like

  • affordable price point
  • machine washable
  • durable and long lasting

What We Don’t Like

  • few color options

Monica + Andy

True, many robes will easily accommodate your expanding belly without needing to purchase a specific maternity style, but you’re growing a whole other human in there so why not treat yourself? “I basically live in this Monica + Andy robe—it is so soft,” admits Bowie. “Laugh if you will, but this lounge robe has stayed with me through maternity and beyond. I live in it. My son begs to sleep with it in lieu of his blanket. It is so so soft, but also the perfect weight so I don't overheat in it, but also feel warm and snuggly, too. It also comes with pockets—a win!” You can also have either your monogram or the word ‘mama’ monogrammed on the chest in a range of cute colors for an extra $15.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS/S to XL
  • Material: 100 percent organic cotton

Best Prints

13. Printfresh Cotton Robe

What We Like

  • size inclusive
  • lots of fun patterns
  • eco-friendly materials

What We Don’t Like

  • reportedly runs large

Printfresh

Printfresh was founded on the principles of ethical manufacturing and recently switched its materials to those certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard. Its brightly-colored prints are designed and produced by talented artisans in Jaipur, India. This particular cotton style comes in several patterns, all with matching PJ sets available to complete your coordinating lounge look. Plus, it comes in sizes S through a 6X, so everyone can join in on the fun of wearing a flock of flamingos robe. “I found the cotton felt a little stiff at first,” admits Editor Abby Hepworth. “But it only took a few wears/washes for it to start feeling super soft and lovely. And the color hasn’t faded at all, even after two years of wear.”

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: S/M to 5/6X
  • Material: 100 percent organic cotton

Best Bridal Robe

14. Flora Nikrooz Rosa Lace-Trimmed Robe

What We Like

  • not sheer
  • also available in black
  • affordable price point

What We Don’t Like

  • hand wash only
  • may be too short for tall frames

Flora Nikrooz

Perfect for the bride to be, this white lace-trimmed robe looks far more luxe than it’s under-$100 price tag. It comes with a modesty tie on the inside to prevent unwanted fabric slips and, according to reviews, runs pretty true to size. And it reportedly photographs beautifully. “I bought this robe for getting ready on my wedding day,” writes one reviewer. “The lace trim is a beautiful touch to make this not just another white robe. The fabric is nice and with nude undergarments, you cannot see through. I definitely would recommend getting this robe as it looks beautiful both in person and in pictures!” Just note, some taller reviewers and those with big busts found it to be a bit short.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to XL
  • Material: 100 percent polyester

Best Multi-Purpose

15. California Cowboy La Sirena Robe

What We Like

  • Champagne pocket
  • terry cloth lining
  • interior modesty tie

What We Don’t Like

  • few color options

California Cowboy

“I’m a big fan of this brand, which I discovered on the beaches here in California,” says Senior Editor Dana Dicket. “It’s perfect for wearing as a beach coverup like the surfers do, since it has features like a secure dry pocket to keep your phone safe from salt water and sand, a sunglasses loop, a belt that stays on and for laughs, a Champagne pocket. I’ve yet to see a surfer use that feature, and I haven’t either, but the wide choice of colorways and men’s and women’s sizes mean this is a great gift.”

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS/S to XL/2XL
  • Material: 51 percent BCI cotton, 49 percent Tencel

Best Spa-Like Option

16. Monarch Plush Lined Microfiber Bathrobe

What We Like

  • three pockets
  • reportedly very durable
  • machine washable

What We Don’t Like

  • some sizing inconsistencies reported

Monarch

This sleek cutie is just like the robs you’ll find at luxe hotels and spas around the world, with a super-soft touch that’s equal parts warm and lightweight. And because they’re designed for hotel use, they’re reportedly super durable and wash extremely well (to withstand the daily industrial washes of your typical spa), meaning they’re sure to last you for years to come. Reviewers rave about the soft inner lining and ideal fabric weight. Some found it ran big, but for the most part folks say it runs true to size. So consider double checking the size chart before you add to cart.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to XXL
  • Material: 100 percent polyester

Best for Summer

17. Lauren Ralph Lauren Quilted Collar Robe

What We Like

  • machine washable
  • lightweight
  • affordable price point

What We Don’t Like

  • few color options
  • no inner modesty tie

Lauren Ralph Lauren

Reviewers say that this 100 percent cotton robe is soft, flattering and ideal for warmer weather. It has a subtle quilted pattern and is totally machine washable—just make sure you use the cold setting. According to the brand it’s “ideal for relaxing in the evenings” and TBH, we could totally see ourselves slipping this on with a glass of wine in hand after a long day of work. “Love this robe,” writes one reviewer. “The cotton knit is very soft, and gets softer after washing. I bought a large instead of medium, but I’m glad I did because there was some shrinkage after washing and drying and now it fits perfectly.”

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: XS to XL
  • Material: 100 percent cotton

What to Look for in a Bathrobe:

  • Material. Cotton, linen, silk or a synthetic blend? In order to decide which fabric to choose, take a moment in front of your closet to scan what materials you wear most and are most comfortable in. Wear lots of breezy t-shirts? A lightweight cotton or linen robe might be your happy place. Always have a sweater nearby? A woven chenille will appeal to you. Do you enjoy the liquid feel of your silk blouses and dresses? Then let's hope there's a washable silk robe in your future. And then there's linen, a fabric you might not think of as a robe material, but one that's especially suitable. Flax Home co-founder Vivian McCormick says that "linen is a superior fabric for robes because it’s lightweight, temperature regulating, quick to dry and antimicrobial, as well as sustainably cultivated." Further, she points out, the material "packs small, which makes it perfect for home or taking on the go—traveling, the pool or the gym."
  • Functionality. TikTok's "robe culture" hashtag is full of women devoting afternoons to neatening up their spaces and doing self-care rituals, which is a relaxing undertaking but not if your bat-wing sleeves are catching on every doorknob or your flimsy wrap-front robe is letting the girls flop out every few minutes. Thoughtful design details are what you're paying for in a premium robe. For example Lunya founder Ashley Merrill says that, in the brand's washable silk robe, “every detail is in service of your best rest, like the gathered wrist which allows you to keep your sleeves out of the way when you are washing your face, and the delicately rolled ties both inside and outside the garment to keep you covered and comfortable."  In order to select your perfect robe, consider what you'll be using it for—because post-shower cuddling on the couch calls for a fluffy affair, while a robe that doubles as a post-swim coverup would skew more toward sleek and tailored.
  • Warmth. We've all shivered in a lightweight robe or felt nauseated under a heat-retaining robe in an overly warm room. Be mindful of your body's metabolic set point, and choose a bulky robe if you're always cold or a lightweight or temperature-regulating style if you get overheated easily.

What Material Makes the Softest Robe?

It's much-debated, and every lady has her preference...but we're prepared to die on this hill: the Barefoot Dreams Cozychic Adult Robe, made of machine-knit microfiber polyester, is like a full-body cuddle with your favorite childhood plush toy. Need more proof? Oprah loves it.

How Often Should You Wash a Bathrobe?

According to Parachute Home, makers of our pick for best waffle robe, robes must be laundered promptly in case of a spill or stain. Otherwise treat it to a machine wash with mild detergent every three or four times you wear it.
