The 8 Best Men’s Robes in 2024, Tried and Tested by Style Editors

Over the last couple fall-winter seasons, we’ve tried a fair share of bathrobes, yet none of them hold a candle to Brooklinen’s offering. If we had to describe the feeling, well, it’s all in the name: super plush. Made from premium Turkish cotton, this pick has an ultra-soft feel and luxury look that delivers spa-level comfort. It’s no wonder it’s a hot ticket item for the brand, always selling out in no time.

The fabric weight and density comes in at 380 GSM, which means the material is on the lighter to medium side, offering the perfect balance between softness, absorbency, and breathability. That all means this bathrobe is ideal for everyday use, especially in moderate climates or for people who don’t want one that’s thick or bulky.

We’ve found ourselves laying in it for hours because it’s just that cozy. Between post-shower and around-the-house lounging, it’s an everyday indulgence. Whether you’re cooking or washing your face with the robe on, you can loosen the wide sleeve adjustable cuffs to keep your sleeves out of the way. The pockets come in handy for carrying items like your phone or remote control as you move from room to room. Plus, you don’t have to settle for the typical white or navy colors—this version comes in stripe patterns as well.

This waffle option strikes a nice balance between towel-like cover-ups and linen robes. It’s as absorbent as the former, while almost as breathable as the latter. Waffle fabrics in general tend to feel a bit rough, but we were surprised by how soft and springy the texture is on this one. And because this is Boll and Branch, one of our favorite high-end bedding brands, it features a luxe piping through the collar and sleeves for five-star resort vibes.

Our testers found that after each wash, the material feels more and more loftier, meaning it’s more cushioned and comfortable. It’s like your favorite weighted blanket that you like to snuggle underneath. Also, the roomier fit is rather ideal, which allows you to stretch, lounge, or layer over a T-shirt and underwear for max weekend without feeling restricted.

Parachute, our go-to brand for bedding and loungewear, offers a classic robe that combines timeless design with high-quality materials. Made from long-staple Turkish cotton, it offers superior softness, absorbency, and durability—hallmarks of a luxury robe.

The classic styling includes a simple, clean look with a shawl collar, a tie waist, and slouchy pockets, making it versatile for lounging or drying off after a bath. Turkish cotton is known for becoming softer and more plush with each wash, so the robe maintains its cozy feel over time, adding to its enduring appeal. Plus, we love how it runs up to 3XL so it can fit bigger guys (a rarity among the bathrobes we’ve tried).

Looking for a robe that doubles as a bath towel? This Huckberry bestseller has you covered. It’s made with long-staple supima cotton (which is twice as strong as regular cotton) and a unique waffle weave that absorbs moisture like a sponge. What’s even better: After stepping out of the shower, we found our hair dried even quicker with the attached hood, so you don’t have to worry about it dripping if you want to lie down across the bed or couch.

The relaxed fit is perfect because it provides maximum comfort and freedom of movement. It’s loose without being too oversized, meaning you can easily wrap yourself and not feel like you’re suffocating. Sure, the price tag is higher than others on the list, but at its cost you’re getting premium fabric that delivers softness, has longevity, and is resistant to pulling. Plus, this robe works well for layering over your pajamas or other loungey clothing.

When it comes to luxury bathrobes, Cozy Earth takes the cake. This robe features a killer dual-sided design: the outer layer has that super absorbent waffle weave, which is perfect after a shower, while the inner side is all about plush ribbed terry that feels like heaven. Made from a cotton and bamboo blend, it’s thicker than a lot of robes out there, but that just adds to the cozy factor.

We found that the thickness comes in handy when you first wake up and the house is still a bit cold. And with its roomy fit, you’ll feel totally at ease whether you’re sprawled out on the bed or seated on the patio enjoying your morning espresso. All that said, once you try it on you won’t want to take it off.

Pros

• Attached hood dries your hair quicker
• Offers relaxing vibes like your favorite sweater
• Not too thin, not too thick—hits the sweet spot
• Material is super stretchy and supportive for freedom of movement

Rhone redesigned the men’s bathrobe to be worn like your favorite hoodie. It’s easy to toss on for days when you work from home or want to lay up without looking like a total couch potato. This option is made with all-way cotton-poly fabric that stretches in every direction, so the robe moves with you rather than being restricted. Whether you’re reaching for coffee or curling up on the sofa, there won’t be any bunching or tugging in the arm or body. The drop shoulder also creates a looser, more casual fit and makes it simple to layer over a tee.

In terms of weight, it hits that sweet spot you’re looking for. Think of it as the perfect middle ground—it’s not paper thin, but it’s also not so thick that you’re breaking a sweat. Based on our testing, we found it’s extremely warm without being too hot or overwhelming, making it one of go-to’s for year-round comfort.

L.L. Bean is widely known for its flannel shirts, but that same rugged aesthetic is channeled in the brand’s robes. Enter this Scotch plaid version. You don’t have to live in a log cabin tucked away in the middle of a New England wilderness to own this robe. But we’ve found that when you wear it, the vibes will immediately transport you to the burning fireplace while sipping hot chocolate in the wintertime.

Not only is it produced from cotton Portuguese flannel, which is highly regarded for its exceptional softness and durability, but each side is brushed eight times for a pillowy fluff that’s desired after a long day at work. Unlike the other bathrobes we’ve put to the test, this one has a bit more functionality with an additional chest pocket, along with the two on the lower front. One of the best things about it is the color variety. It comes in eight different plaid options that change seasonally and they’re all equally cozy.
