These Bathrobes Feel Like You're Swaddled in a Cloud

A hot cup of tea? Check. A riveting read or a romantic comedy? Check. A scented candle? Check. All that's missing from this cozy scenario is a luxurious bathrobe (okay, and maybe some deliciously cheap wine, soul-soothing sweet treats, and your favorite pajamas).

There's no denying that wrapping yourself in the softest robe ensures peak relaxation. But as any loungewear regular will tell you, not all options are created equal. So, what's the best material? That's a matter of personal preference: waffle weave conjures visions of a spa day with your BFFs; French terry elicits the cozy warmth of your favorite sweatshirt; cuddly flannel will remind you of winters by the fireplace at that luxury ski lodge; and a plush fabric will make you feel like you're being bear-hugged by the coziest blanket ever.

Put simply: The best women's bathrobe is the one that you're most comfortable in—which is why we've gathered 21 great styles, from a fleece wrap great for working from home to an absorbent, yet lightweight terry cloth topper for your post-shower routine. (Just be warned: You might never want to take them off.)
