Coyuchi has been on our radar for a while, as it’s the maker of very good linen and jersey sheets.

But when we thought of what robe would work for most, this one won.

There was no runaway favorite when it came to deciding the “best overall” title. Sizes XS/S–L/XL | Cotton | Shawl collar, front pockets | $$$ The bathrobes here are all designated as $ (under $100), $$ (under $150), or $$$ (over $150). Price: To find the best of the best, our focus was on both brands we’ve heard about (think Brooklinen and Parachute) and ones that people rave about. The specs of each pick - like whether it features pockets - are noted below. For every classic shawl-collar white robe from Frette, there’s a striped, Ferris Bueller-esque one courtesy of Dusen Dusen. Although there are many merits to cotton - most of our experts cited it as their favorite - you’ll see that we tried to include a variety of materials for different routines and preferences.ĭesign: What makes choosing a bathrobe simultaneously delightful and difficult is all the styles out there. As Strategist writer Lauren Ro explains, there are three well-known cottons: Egyptian (soft and plush), Turkish (fast-drying), and Supima (similar to Egyptian but not as sumptuous). Here’s where it’s helpful to understand the intersection between robes and towels, as many brands use the same cotton for both.

Material: Terrycloth is usually what comes to mind when one thinks of a bathrobe, and it’s easy to see why: It’s a subset of cotton - the “terry” part refers to the way the fabric is looped (a waffle weave is another popular pattern) - that’s known to be thick and absorbent. It was important for us to include recommendations that came in more of a range. Sizing: Oftentimes, bathrobes will come in unisex sizing - with options listed as XS/S instead of the standard single lettering (XS, S, and so forth) - or just one size.
