Keeping a lush silk robe around the house is one of the easiest ways to feel like you’re at the spa without shelling out the big bucks for a top-notch facial. Comfortable and a little froufrou, the best silk robes are fun swaps from your usual matching sweatsuits and reliable black leggings. And though they’re functional, they also have an air of old-Hollywood glam. (Tell us you don’t channel your inner Marilyn Monroe in a vintage dressing gown, and we’ll tell you that you’re lounging wrong.)
After a long, strenuous day, cozying up in a silky wrap is the best way to begin your self-care routine. If you don’t already own one, you’re missing out. The soft-to-touch robe has a comfortable drape, is breathable, cooling, and great for sleeping in — all qualities that members of the hot-sleeper crew will love. The best part is that you don’t have to break the bank for a lustrous silk robe. There are plenty of affordable options from brands like Quince and retailers such as Nordstrom that offer shorter styles, along with others that are even washable at home. However, if you were planning to spend the big bucks on a holiday gift, we also have those longer options ready. The 15 silk robes ahead exude luxury, whether you’re glamming up for a night out or prepping for bed.
