Best dressing gowns and bathrobes for women

Your timeworn bathroom robe could do with an upgrade. You may have an attachment to the piece that has hung loyally on the back of your bathroom door for years - accruing holes in all the wrong places and featuring remnants of coffees and hungover full English breakfasts - but it’s time for something new.

There’s truly nothing better on a duvet day than slipping on a cosy robe and making the most of your “me” time. Post-shower, when the chill hits, your bathrobe will become your best friend, shielding you from the elements and ensuring you remain cosy and warm.

No matter your preference, there is a robe to suit. Whether an elegant silk number is more your speed to elevate the glamour of your nightwear, or an absorbent terry towelling fabrication to slip straight on after a bath. You may even opt for a sumptuously soft cashmere material to up the comfort levels or a refined kimono silhouette that taps into your obsession for all things Japanese fashion, there is something for everyone.

There’s also a variation on length - ankle-grazing, cropped or mid-length and a huge range of colours from bolder, feel-good prints to your more timeless neutral hues.
