Soft, comfy robes that will make you want to stay home all day

Maybe you picked up the habit from one too many staycations. Or you’ve always understood the luxury of lounging about in a soft, plush bathrobe.

Whatever the case, the cotton-terry classic is speaking to many of us now that we’re spending more time at home. What’s there not to love? The robe feels like a hug when you step out of a hot shower. It’s perfect for cuddling up in when catching up on your favourite Netflix shows. And its sizeable pockets let you stash your favourite snacks in them, saving you a trip to the kitchen.

Thanks to the loungewear moment that we’re having, the robe has also been embraced outdoors. Fashion brands like Zegna and Louis Vuitton have proposed stylish options to wear in lieu of a coat. Celebrities like Rihanna and Gigi Hadid have stepped out on the streets looking the picture of comfort in their favourite robes, while Harry Styles recently attended a wedding dressed in one.

Today, there are plenty of options to choose from, on top of the classic white robe. Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS has a whole line of them in neutral hues and matching knitwear, suited for those with minimalist tastes. On the other end of the spectrum is the range of bestselling bathrobes by Missoni Home, which immediately injects a dose of colour with their colourful stripes. And if you want to feel like a million dollars, why not try the Versace bathrobe that has become a staple in Drake’s wardrobe?

Below, discover all the best robes you can shop now for all-day comfort.

Skims ‘Cozy’ boucle knitted robe

Aside from the fact they’re from Kim Kardashian’s clothing line, there’s a reason this robe is a bestseller. It’s knitted from soft and breathable boucle yarn, so it feels incredibly comfortable. Plus, the plush robe features just a little stretch, so it will hug you in all the right places.
