Commerce editor Audrey Lee calls it a real treat after a shower, noting that the super absorbent and quick-drying terry cloth lets me skip the regular towel dry.Senior commerce editor Nashia Baker adds that the robe is fast-drying and so soft to curl up in after a shower. It has a sturdy feel that lasts wash after wash without any wear and tear, she adds. It's also a bit longer than some of my other robes (I'm 5' 4" and it hits right around my ankles) so I'm basically warm from head to toe.Best Waffle RobeParachute Waffle RobeMaterial100% Turkish cottonSizes AvailableXS3XThis robe has a cushy thickness and is fairly longwhich I appreciate as a tall person whose towels often run short, says commerce producer Lauren Arzbaecher. The waffle texture is deceptively thick, and seems to help wick moisture away quickly.

Responsibly made with organic textiles and pre-tumbled for extra softness, its the kind of cotton robe that gets better with each wash. Harrison called the material lightweight, soft, luxurious without feeling too precious to wear. Ive washed this a dozen times at least, and its still as good as new.The Best Cashmere RobeQuince Mongolian Cashmere RobeMaterial100% Grade A Mongolian cashmereSizes AvailableS, M, LQuinces cashmeres robe is the embodiment of self care. Slipping on the knitted silhouette makes even the dreariest days feel heavenly, says Lee. She tried this robe in a variety of settingsduring the work day, while binge-watching Netflix, even cleaning the houseand the luxe material was just as cozy after hours of wear. Like most cashmere, youre likely going to face some pilling, but its nothing that a sweater shaver or a good sweater brush cant handle. When its time for a wash, Lee says mild or cashmere detergent and a delicate cycle is key, having owned a ton of cashmere from Quince that holds up nicely, even after multiple washes.Best Silk RobeLunya Washable Silk RobeMaterial100% washable silkSizes AvailableWomens: XS/S1XMens: SXXLHeres a robe so stylish you might be tempted to wear it out of the house. Lunyas ethos is centered around taking time to rest and recharge and the brands washable silk robe is the perfect uniform for just that. The robe is breezy with a cooling effect thats perfect for spring and summer, Lee says. Carefully crafted from washing machine-friendly, thermoregulating silk, this robe makes staying in a celebration. If I hadnt already washed silk products from Lunya multiple times with no issue, I wouldnt believe this is washable silk, Lee adds. While other washable silks Ive tested feel paper-thin and dont always survive a trip through the washing machine, this one has just the right amount of heft with minimal color fading to boot.Best Hooded RobeOnsen Supima Waffle Bath RobeMaterial100% USA-grown extra-long-staple Supima cottonSizes AvailableSmall, medium, largeWe like that Onsens Japanese spa-inspired waffle robe has a hood and is made of the same material as their superior waffle knit bath towels, so you feel comfortably swathed in cotton at all times. Maybe its because this robe is built with the spa in mind, but its actually perfect to take along on a pool or beach day, says Lee. I love that the waffle material is incredibly fast-dryinglike scary fastand that the overall look doesnt scream bathrobe. Another major advantage? You wont find any lint buildup in the dryer with this design thanks to the tight knit Japanese weaving technique that the retailer employs.Best Bamboo RobeCozy Earth Stretch-Knit Bamboo Kimono RobeMaterial95% premium viscose from bamboo, 5% spandexSizes AvailableXSXXXLCozy Earth, the bedding brand behind some of our favorite sheets (Oprahs too!), also makes a pretty noteworthy robe. Even the hottest weather is no match for the brands stretch-knit material, made from breathable and moisture-wicking bamboo viscose fabric that never pills in the wash, says Lee. I actually have a full set of the brands bamboo loungewear and whats nice is I definitely feel a cooling effect when walking about doing household chores but its also super warming if youre swaddled up in a cozy blanket.Best Padded RobeSkin Sierra Quilted RobeMaterial100% Cotton, Polyester fillSizes Available0-5The Skin Sierra robes padded construction makes the perfect outer layer when the days activities consist of lounging around the house and staying comfy.
