The 5 best bathrobes for men in 2021
Table of Contents: Masthead Sticky
- Bathrobes are indispensable year-round. From linen to flannel, here are our favorites.
- Parachute's Classic Robe is our top choice because it's absorbent, well-made, and luxuriously soft.
- We also like options from Alexander Del Rossa, LilySilk, Cashmere Boutique, and Latuza.
I must admit that, for a semester or two in college, I was often to be seen wandering around the halls of the dorm and even at times plying the streets of Boston wearing a bathrobe. By my junior year, I had shifted away from wearing loungewear in public, and today, I'll scarcely be caught bringing trash to the curb without first having donned proper attire.
In the home, however, I'm still a great aficionado of the bathrobe. I have a cotton robe I often don immediately after bathing and a fleece robe I'll wear in the morning. My son has a fleece robe and my wife has a cashmere robe of which I may or may not harbor secret envy.
Choosing the right robe isn't rocket science, but as it might be something you wear every single day for the next 10 years, go ahead and choose with care. Consider materials, the weight and warmth of a robe, the length and fit, and of course, the price. And if you think you might wear your bathrobe while walking down Bolyston Street on a Thursday afternoon, then consider style, too.
A note on fit
While many of the picks on our list contain "men's" in the product description, we believe that all bathrobes can be worn regardless of gender. Keep an eye on sizing charts when shopping to ensure you select the right size for you. You may find that bathrobes designed with traditional men's sizing have longer sleeves or hit lower on the leg.
Here are the best men's bathrobes in 2021
- Best bathrobe for drying off: Parachute Classic Robe
- Best bathrobe for winter: Alexander Del Rossa Men's Fleece Long Hooded Bathrobe
- Best bathrobe for summer: LilySilk Men's Long Pure Silk Robe
- Best cashmere bathrobe: Cashmere Boutique Men's Full-Length Robe
- Best flannel bathrobe: Latuza Men's Cotton Flannel Robe
Parachute
Parachute’s Classic Bathrobe is an excellent buy for the price with its plush texture and absorbent 100% long-staple Turkish cotton fabric.
Pros: 100% cotton, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, plush feel, weighty robe, classic style
Cons: Not as cheap as some, heavy feel isn’t for everyone
When you picture a hotel bathrobe, it probably looks quite a bit like Parachute’s Classic Bathrobe. This is a high-end, well-made robe in a classic style.
It has two slouchy front pockets, a waist tie, and a shawl collar, so you can feel comfortable hanging out in the robe after a shower. The robe is made from 100% long-staple Turkish cotton fabric that is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, so you won’t find any harmful chemicals or synthetics.
The cotton is rated at 450 grams per square meter, which means the robe has a good weight to it, and the texture is soft and plush. Some people dislike weighty robes, so if that’s you, you’ll want to pass on a lighter option.
When it first came out, this robe was in such high demand that it frequently sold out and people were on waiting lists to buy it. Now, you can get Parachute’s Classic Robe fairly easily, but the quality that made it a must-have is still clearly felt by all who buy it.
The best men’s bathrobe for winter
Amazon
There’s no reason to fear those cold winter mornings when you can wrap yourself in the extra-warm, extra-long Alexander Del Rossa Fleece Hooded Bathrobe.
Pros: Dual-layered insulation, hood for added warmth and comfort, stays tied reliably
Cons: Fabric pills with repeated washings
When the bathroom floor tiles are cold underfoot and the cool bedroom air is wafting through the door after your hot shower, just getting cleaned up can bring its share of shocking cold. That is unless you have the Alexander Del Rossa Fleece Hooded Bathrobe.
This ankle-length bathrobe is made using layers of polar fleece. It has a large hood that wraps over your head, keeping your crown, ears, and neck warm, and its generous fit can accommodate larger body sizes. Basically, this bathrobe will keep you warm from the top of your head right down to your ankles, and that includes your hands, thanks to a pair of oversized pockets.
This is a big, soft, warm robe. It might even be too bulky or too warm for some, but for those who hate being cold after bathing, after a swim or a soak, or merely while lounging about the house, it’s a surefire winner.
Those worried about the use of harmful dyes or chemicals will be pleased to know that this robe gets its color from chemical-free dye, which helps the robe maintain its color and means reduced exposure to potentially hazardous compounds.
The best men’s bathrobe for summer
LilySilk
If you’re looking for a lightweight, cooling robe, then treat yourself to the LilySilk Long Pure Silk Robe and lounge about the house in high-class style.
Pros: Smooth and luxurious feel, lightweight, cool to the touch, unique styling, lasts for years with proper care
Cons: Clings to wet skin
A silk bathrobe is almost a meme for an over-the-top dedication to relaxation. But many who slip on the LilySilk Long Pure Silk Robe quickly stop laughing and start sighing with contentment. Silk is soft, smooth, cooling, and lightweight, and garments made of silk are considered by many to be the height of style.
There are a few good reasons to own a silk robe beyond lounging. Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and it’s amazingly gentle on the skin. So if you suffer from allergies — both those related to a given fabric or those exacerbated by the bacteria, mold, or dander that might build up in some fabrics — or if you have sensitive skin, silk is a great choice.
This robe is made from 100% natural mulberry silk and is available in several rich colors. Just make sure you’re nice and dry before slipping it on, or the fabric will cling to you like glue.
The best cashmere men’s bathrobe
Cashmere Boutique
The Cashmere Boutique Full-Length Robe may be pricey, but it’s also likely a lifetime purchase that’s super soft and comfy.
Pros: Amazing softness, lasts for years, warm and comfortable
Cons: Very expensive, requires careful laundering
Yes, this bathrobe costs a few hundred dollars, and for that same price, you could buy several complete head-to-toe outfits of clothing. But once you slip on a genuine cashmere robe for the first time, you’ll likely never go back to another material. And don’t worry, buying the Cashmere Boutique Full-Length Robe isn’t spoiling yourself, exactly. If handled and laundered with proper care, this bathrobe should last for years if not for decades.
The robe is made from three-ply cashmere sourced and woven in Nepal, the native home of the eponymous world-renowned cashmere goats. As these goats live where altitude, wind chill, and snow conspire to create extremely harsh climates, their wool is remarkably warm and dense, which allows it to be used in making remarkably warm and soft garments. This bathrobe will almost assuredly become the most comfortable piece of clothing you own.
The best flannel men’s bathrobe
Latuza
The Latuza Cotton Flannel Robe is an absolute classic right down to its flannel material and print design.
Pros: Low price, classic styling, lightweight but comfortable
Cons: Shrinks with washing, belt too thin
The Latuza Men’s Cotton Flannel Robe would not have looked out of place hanging on the bathroom door at your grandfather’s house, and chances are good that this robe will still look right at home in your grandchildren’s closet, too. This is an elegantly simple garment that’s lightweight enough for year-round use but warm enough to take the sting out of a frosty morning newspaper recovery when draped over your pajamas.
The Latuza robe is 100% cotton flannel and comes in several different plaid patterns, including a timeless red and blue blend and a few different checkered styles. Comfort and classic styling aside, this bathrobe is perhaps most attractive thanks to its low price tag. Though the robe is affordable, it will last for years and years whether worn for a few minutes after the shower or serving as your outer layer of loungewear for hours on end.
Do keep in mind that because it’s made from cotton it will likely shrink up after a few washes.
