The 9 Best Men’s Robes in 2025, Tested by Style Editors

Over the last four years, our Men’s Health team tried a fair share of bathrobes, yet none of them compare to Brooklinen’s offering. If I had to describe the feeling, well, it’s all in the name: super plush. This option is the closest I’ve come to feeling like I’m enjoying a well-needed spa day but in the comfort of my own apartment. The robe is made from premium Turkish cotton, which has a fluffy, towel-like texture that feels smooth and cushy, not coarse or scratchy. I’ve washed it three times so far, and now it is even more gentle on the skin. That’s because Turkish cotton softens after each cycle, unlike low-grade cottons.

The fabric weight and density comes in at 380 GSM (grams square meter), which means the material is on the lighter to medium side, offering the perfect balance between softness, absorbency, and breathability. Whether I’ve had on a tee and shorts or nothing at all, I’ve never felt stuffy or overheated. Some robes get waterlogged after a few minutes out of the shower, but this one soaks up moisture without getting heavy or dropping. It’s great for everyday use, especially in moderate climates or for people who don’t want one that’s thick or bulky. I tend to lay around in it because it’s just that cozy.

The waist tie helps keep a snug, comfortable fit, though sometimes I loosen it so I don’t feel squeezed while moving around the apartment. When I’m fixing something to eat or brushing my teeth, I can also loosen the wide sleeve adjustable cuffs to keep my sleeves out of the way. The pockets aren’t super deep but I can carry around my phone or remote control as I 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.

Parachute, our go-to brand for cooling sheets, offers a classic robe with a shawl collar and fuzzy cotton feel. It’s much thicker and heavier than Brooklinen’s plush robe, weighing in at 450 GSM (grams square meter), so it takes a little longer to dry. But it’s still plush and warm, perfect for chilly nights around the house. After a few hours of sitting and walking around, the fabric stayed breathable and didn’t weigh me down.

This robe is cut closer to the body, so if you stick to your normal size, it might feel a little snug or restrictive, especially around the chest, shoulders, or waist tie. Sizing up will give you more room to move, layer a tee or pajamas underneath, and keep the waist tie from feeling tight while lounging on the couch. Not many robes have sizing up to 3XL, but this one can comfortably fit bigger guys.

This waffle option strikes a perfect balance between towel-like cover-ups and linen robes. It’s made of long-staple 100% organic cotton, which is softer, stronger, and more durable than standard cotton, with a smooth premium feel that only gets better over time. Our deputy editor Christian Gollayan loves to throw it on after a long day’s work. Waffle fabrics in general tend to feel a bit rough, but he was pleasantly surprised by how soft and springy the honeycomb texture feels. Just be careful with your necklaces: the material has a tendency to get caught in them.

The design also features luxe piping along the collar, waist tie, and sleeves for five-star resort vibes. The pockets are pretty deep, though you don’t want to overstuff them, or the robe will feel bulky. Gollayan has washed it over five times, and the material has only become loftier and more comfortable since day one. It’s like your favorite weighted blanket that you like to snuggle under. The fit is generously sized, roomy in the arms and chest, and works well for most body types, from lean to broad shoulders. Therefore, you can stretch, lounge, or layer over a thick long-sleeve T-shirt or pajamas.

When it comes to luxury bathrobes, Cozy Earth takes the crown. I’ve tested plenty of robes, and this one stood out immediately. The dual-sided design offers a super absorbent waffle weave on the outer, while the inner ribbed terry that feels you’re being wrapped in a cloud. It’s made from a cotton-and-bamboo blend, which is thicker than most robes, giving it a weighty, comforting feel without ever being stiff. That extra heft is perfect for those chilly moments when you’re just getting up and the house is a bit cold.

The roomy fit is another standout. I could sprawl out on the bed, curl up with a book, or sit back with my morning espresso, and it never feels like it’s squeezing the life out of me. I found that after washing it before first use, the fabric became even softer, loftier, and downright heavenly. The only catch is that it runs a little large, so if you’re a smaller gent, you might want to size down.

The striped broadcloth design of Brooks Brothers’ robe gives it a stylish boost compared to your typical robe. It’s the lightest one we’ve tested and feels like your most comfortable button-down shirt, but in a robe form. I found it’s not meant to be absorbent like a traditional post-shower robe. It’s more for lounging or for show, like when you have company over because it’s more polished without giving off that “just showered” vibe. You can even walk your dog or grab the mail without feeling like you’re wearing a towel around your shoulders.

The pockets are super deep, so you can stash a snack or three in there. It also has a chest pocket—a rare touch that sets it apart from most robes on our list. And despite being thinner than others, it’s constructed with crisp, clean stitching on the collar and cuffs that keep its shape and structure. Since it’s so lightweight, it moves with you, drapes nicely, and never feels restrictive when reaching for a top shelf or stretching at your standing work-from-home desk.

If you’re looking for a robe that doubles as a bath towel and a hoodie, Onsen has you covered. It’s made with long-staple Supima cotton—which is up to 45% stronger than regular cotton—and features a unique honeycomb weave that absorbs moisture like a sponge. I’ve noticed this robe dries down in 15 minutes or less. It’s lightweight and less bulkier than most of the robes we’ve tried, yet still durable, thanks to in part to its tightly reinforced stitching that holds up wash after wash. Even better: after stepping out of the shower, the attached hood helped dry my hair quickly, so I could lie down across the bed or couch without dripping or grab a package outside without hassle.

The relaxed fit is perfect because it provides plenty of room to stretch your arms overhead or bend at the waist without any restriction. It’s loose without being oversized, meaning you can easily wrap yourself and not feel like you’re suffocating. Sure, it’s one of the more expensive robes, but at this cost you’re getting premium fabric that delivers softness, has longevity, and is resistant to pulling.

OAS, the brand known for its sharp resort wear and swim trunks, also makes a really luxe heavyweight terry robe. It blends the brand’s signature Scandinavian design with practicality: cut to the knee but roomy enough to lean and reach down to pick up something without tugging. The jacquard-woven cotton terry velour has a soft, breathable texture that never feels stuffy. Gollayan packed it for a luxury vacation and wore it poolside, finding it to be a great (stylish) option for a quick-dry down after taking a dip.

It even has a chest pocket for small essentials. It’s the most expensive option on our list, but it’s also impeccably made. You’re getting a one-of-a-kind piece that feels and looks like the kind of robe you’d find in your room in a five-star hotel. After multiple washes, it looks good as new, without resembling your typical towel-like bathrobe.

You don’t have to shell out a fortune to own a robe that’s reminiscent of a high-end hotel stay. Take Quince’s offering for example. The feels are just as cozy and luxe as the more pricier ones we’ve put through the paces. As for the design, it’s completed with a kimono collar, self-tie sash, and a fun waffle texture.

We especially love this one because the Turkish cotton material is lightweight and breathable while still being plush and absorbent. It dries you off in a flash and doesn’t feel bulky. Unlike Onsen’s hooded option and others that stop at the knee, this dressing gown- style robe is cut right above the calf, giving you even more coverage for those extra cold mornings.

L.L. Bean is widely known for its flannel shirts, and the brand channels that same rugged, cozy aesthetic in its Scotch plaid robe. Made from cotton Portuguese flannel, this robe is softer and more durable than standard cotton flannel, with a brushed finish on both sides for extra loft and comfort. Unlike Turkish cotton robes, which can feel dense and plush, or organic cotton robes that are often lighter and more airy, this one strikes a middle ground: heavier than the Brooks Brothers cotton broadcloth robe, but lighter than the plush 450 GSM Parachute option.

Flannel robes can sometimes feel overly warm, but this one avoids that suffocating feeling—think log cabin by the fireplace while sipping hot chocolate. It keeps you cozy and warm, but it’s not really designed to throw on immediately after a shower. You’ll likely want to stick to light layers underneath. Each robe is brushed eight times to create a pillowy, fluff texture, and you can choose from six colorways that all feel just as comfortable. In testing, it stayed soft after multiple washes and didn’t cling onto any jewelry like the waffle robe.
