If You Don’t Have a Terry Cloth Robe, You’re Doing Cozy Wrong

Terry cloth robes are one of life’s sweetest (and most practical) luxuries. Typically made of traditional cotton, their plush, towel-like weave is super soft to the touch but works to keep you dry with plenty of absorbent layers.

And they’re not just great for helping you dry off after a shower—terry cloth robes are comfy enough to serve as an entire outfit during lazy weekends or slow mornings. And if you have a little one at home, they can make bath time a lot easier. Forget toweling off a squirmy kid and let them dry while dressed as a character or animal instead.

Whether you’re after an absorbent plush robe that can sufficiently sop up water after a hot soak or a more luxe, lightweight option suited to sitting on the couch and sipping wine, we researched plenty of cozy options that will fit your needs and budget. Once you have one, you’ll get why they’re mainstays at so many luxury hotels and spas.
