Plus, the waffle-like surface absorbs water beautifully. So, you can slip straight from your warm bath into your crisp, timeless waffle robe, and be cozy and dry in minutes.

It’s not all about functionality, though: With 350 GSM (grams of cotton per meter), the Brooklinen Waffle Bath Robe oozes snuggly vibes, too.

This luxe satin robe proves that you can still dress up to stay in (though it is tempting to throw on some heels and head out on the town). The Coco de Mer Fuji is the perfect sexy bathrobe for a romantic night in or an evening all to yourself.

We will say this, though: Prepare to break a heart when you answer the door to the pizza delivery guy.

Style guide for ladies’ robes

Seeing as we spend a fair proportion of our downtime in our bathrobes, we should know what to look for when we’re on the search for a new one:

Materials and weaves explained

Flannel

Flannel makes for a classic and timeless bathrobe. Though often used in the manufacture of men’s bathrobes, the fuzzy softness makes a great choice for women, too. It’s naturally insulating, which makes flannel bathrobes perfect for winter.

Cotton terry

Cotton terry robes are hugely popular. They’re typically made from either Egyptian or Turkish cotton, and thus are great for absorbing larger amounts of water. As such, cotton terry is the way to go if you mostly use your bathrobe for just that– wrapping up after a bath (or shower).

Velour

Velour cotton is an excellent choice if you’re seeking a warm, plush, and luxurious bathrobe. Make sure it’s made from at least 80% cotton for the best quality, so you can enjoy a texture that’s close to pure velvet.

Waffle

Waffle is perhaps the ultimate fabric for a spa-style bathrobe. Waffle cotton is very easy to identify, as it’s so-called after the waffle-like diamond pattern that forms the fabric. Waffle robes are brilliant for absorbing water after a shower and work wonders in emulating a true spa experience at home.

Silk/satin

Revered for their smooth, luxurious touch, silk robes are a firm favorite for those who adore a little grandeur in their me-time. These bathrobes thrive in warmer climes thanks to their lightweight qualities, though they don’t fare too well in the colder months. 

Silk robes are best for lounging about the house (not to mention looking elegant), but they’re not as absorbent as cotton robes. Well, now you have an excuse to select two robes from our list… 

Styles

Kimono

Inspired by traditional Japanese dress worn by geisha, kimono-style bathrobes are the most elegant. They are characterized by billowing sleeves, wide, sash belts, and flowy silk satin. However, you can also find kimono-style robes, which are crafted from cotton, and therefore more suitable for wearing post-shower, as well as lounging.

Shawl collar

A shawl collar is a lovely detail to have on your new bathrobe. Simply put, a shawl collar is a rolled collar and a lapel rolled into one. It adds subtle detail and structure to your robe and is part and parcel of a classic bathrobe style.

Hooded

To hood or not to hood? Well, it’s entirely up to you. However, while a hood seems unnecessary in the warmer seasons, this feature is a must-have in winter. A hood takes your robe to new heights when it comes to warmth and coziness, allowing you to feel truly wrapped up and toasty.

Dressing gown versus bathrobe

The two terms have become somewhat interchangeable in recent years. However, purists will tell you that a bathrobe is to slip into after (you guessed it) a bath or shower. If that’s what you mostly use your robe for, then pick an absorbent fabric that will help eliminate any pesky water droplets.

A dressing gown, on the other hand, is primarily for lounging around the house, doing chores, or throwing on over your pajamas for a more respectable look when you’re heading out to the mailbox.
