We judged the robes based on quality, comfort, design, and fit.
You should always check the care label to avoid causing damage.
Most robes are machine washable, but often only on a cold, delicate cycle.
If the robe is dryer-safe, a cold or low heat setting is usually required.
Be careful to wash light-colored robes with like colors to avoid discoloration and staining.
Choose terrycloth for toweling off and plush or fleece robes for lounging comfort.
Think about your climate, too.
Midweight cotton or polyester robes are good for layering and can be used all year round.
Possible options include cotton or polyester in a waffle weave for maximum absorbency or lightweight yet powerful modal blends.
The best for postshower use, though?
Terrycloth robes, which are made from the same material as most towels and essentially serve the same purpose.
Other cozy options include fleece/faux-shearling and brushed flannel.
