It doesn’t matter whether you’re enjoying a slow morning with a steaming cup of coffee on the back deck or swanning around the house like Fran Fine in The Nanny, a luxury bathrobe is a must for any self-respecting homebody. Robes (also known as dressing gowns) are inherently luxurious. They’re usually loose-fitting, made from soft and cuddly fabric and can make getting out of bed on a cold morning feel infinitely more bearable.
The most luxurious bath robes, however, are made from natural fibres that keep you toasty and warm but allow air to circulate to prevent overheating. Cotton, wool, linen, silk and tencel are among some of the best materials to look for when purchasing a robe. But the best choice for you really boils down to personal taste. Robes made from terry cotton – the material soft, fluffy towels are made from – can make you feel like you’re at a day spa, while a robe made from jersey cotton can feel just like a big hug.
Ready to say goodbye to your beloved, albeit worn-out, bathrobe? Here, we’ve rounded up some of the best luxury bathrobes worth adding to your loungewear collection.
