The Best Robes for Women of 2024

• Material: 100% polyester
• Sizes: XS-XL in regular or petite, plus 2X and 3X
• Colors: 8 colors

The L.L. Bean Plush Robe is one of the softest our first tester tried, ranking right up there with the Bliss Plush Robe. She wanted to snuggle up in this luxurious, sherpa-trimmed fleece robe 24/7 (or at least while watching Netflix on a snowy night in front of the fire). It even has a hood for keeping extra warm in cold winters.

However, there were some distracting downsides. The “regular” length is 47 inches long, the second-longest robe we tested. Our 5’5” tester found it to be too long, almost dragging on the ground. They do have petite sizing, and while “petite” typically indicates people 5’2” and under, people over that height may also want a petite on this particular robe.

The long length also made it a little too warm to wear for longer than 30 minutes. It felt like she was wearing a blanket, and not in a good way. The fabric wasn’t breathable, and trapped too much heat. People who run hot should steer clear.

We have long been fans of Brooklinen’s apparel their loungewear is also a favorite) and the Brooklyn-based brand also makes the best sheets we’ve ever tested. Unfortunately, our tester didn’t love the Brooklinen plush robe. She found the sleeves to be extremely wide and the robe itself to be very oversized.

If you do want to buy this robe, we recommend you size down. However, be aware that while a smaller size might fix the wide sleeves and oversized fit, you could end up with sleeves that are too short. Not only that, but there are only three size options (XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL), so in some cases, sizing down isn’t an option.

Our tester was also skeptical of how well this robe will hold up over time. After washing it, she noticed a few loose threads. She did like the Turkish cotton’s softness, and the robe’s added features like a stylish piped collar and roomy pockets.

• Sizes: S-L
• Colors: 3 colors (gray, light gray, white)

As a fan of Crane & Canopy's pajamas, our tester was excited for the bedding brand’s robe option. It’s very comfortable overall, with a snug (yet not too tight) fit around the waist. However, the sleeves were oddly wide, allowing drafts in and falling down whenever she lifted her arms.

However, the Turkish cotton material is absorbent, making the Crane & Canopy robe a good “just out of the shower” robe. However, the Turkish cotton here isn’t as soft as the Parachute robe’s. Additionally, the color selection is limited, although it does have pretty detailing on the shawl collar and cuffs that add an extra touch of elegance.

• Material: 100% polyester
• Sizes: S-XL
• Colors: 11 solid colors, 6 patterns

The NY Threads Women’s Fleece Bathrobe is a solid choice for a basic fleece bathrobe at an affordable price. It’s comfortable to wear all day and the belt stays tied tightly. It held up well in the wash, although the fit changed a tiny bit.

However, as large and long as this robe runs, a small change in fit doesn’t make a huge difference. The NY Threads robe also comes with sizable pockets and is easy to care for—just wash on warm and tumble dry low.

Despite these pluses, we have a few complaints. The material, stitching, and construction felt cheaper than others we tested. That’s expected, since this robe is a fraction of others’ prices, but it still didn’t feel fantastic. It’s also oversized, and was way too big on our 5’5” tester’s frame. She reported that it was practically dragging on the ground and the sleeves were too long.

Still, if you want a basic bathrobe and don’t have a small frame, the NY Threads Fleece Bathrobe may be the one for you.

• Material: polyester
• Sizes: XS-5X/6X
• Colors: 27 colors and patterns

It might be the best-selling robe on Amazon, and they offer a wide range of sizes and colors. Unfortunately, our tester was less than impressed with the quality of the Alexander Del Rossa Women’s Robe’s. The fleece felt thin, and the seams didn’t seem like they’d hold up well over time.

Not only that, but the robe was incredibly long for her 5-foot-5 height. At 52 inches long, it was the longest robe in our initial tests. The cumbersome length was annoying. Our tester had difficulty moving around without tripping, and frequently had to push up the sleeves.

Yet despite the length, the super-thin fleece didn’t keep her very warm. This turned her off from wearing the robe. Overall, it was too long for warmer weather, yet not thick enough to keep her warm in colder weather.

Despite our love of Brooklinen overall, the Brooklinen Waffle Robe did not hold up well against the competition. To their credit, the Turkish cotton fabric is thick, and the stitching and construction are decent. Unfortunately, the upsides end there.

First off, the fabric of this robe is rough, as waffle weaves tend to be. It felt even worse after washing the robe according to the care instructions. Additionally, the robe is extremely oversized, to the point where it felt like it was falling off of our tester.

The belt on this robe came untied often, requiring frequent adjusting. It’s made to shrink a full size post-wash, which can feel somewhat dramatic even if you’re expecting it. All in all, we recommend Parachute over Brooklinen this time.

• Material:65% modal, 45% polyester
• Sizes: XS-2X

The Natori Shangri-La robe was our least favorite. The material is thin and cheap, and seems likely to pill quickly after several wears and washes. The kimono-style sleeves hit awkwardly on our tester’s arms, and the waist tie looped in an awkward place. It shrank quite a bit in the wash, though it fit our 5’3” tester a bit long to begin with.

Overall, this robe felt overpriced for the quality of the material and stitching. If you’re looking for a warmer weather knit robe, the Eberjey Gisele Tuxedo Robe is a better choice.
