How to Choose a Bathrobe
A bathrobe may just be our favorite cozy option for kids, teens, or adults. We love the comfort of an absorbent bathrobe after a shower, or a lightweight robe over loungewear for a relaxing weekend. The ideal robe for you depends on season or climate, when you expect to wear it, and your style preferences. Explore these tips for choosing a robe, shower wrap, or cover-up.
1) Choose the Best Robe Material
When searching for a robe, first consider which material best delivers your preferred features. There are a variety of robe materials available, perfect for keeping you extra cozy on cold days, wicking away leftover moisture after a long bath, adding coverage without overheating, or giving you a warm yet breathable layer. Cotton or cotton blend robes are great options because they’re breathable and moisture-wicking, comfortable against the skin, and easy to launder.

|---|---|---|
| Terry Cotton | Warm and moisture-wicking | After a bath or shower, while getting ready in the morning, or for a little warmth before bed |
| Waffle Knit | Absorbent and fast-drying | A lightweight option for getting ready for the day, prepping for bedtime, or for covering up at the pool |
| Jersey Knit | Comfortably stretchy, lightweight | Great for use with loungewear or over pajamas, ideal weight for summer |
