Robes with long sleeves or shawl collars are great if you need to step outside in the cold or bundle up while lounging around the house. Consider how it will be used: The small details on a robe can make a big difference in functionality, depending on when and how you plan to wear it. Terry or waffle work best out of the shower. Linen and lightweight knits like jersey are best in warmer temperatures. Fleece, plush, and flannel are best for cooler temperatures. Think about temperature: The fabrics you’ll want to consider will vary depending on whether you need the robe in order to stay warm, keep cool and covered, or to simply dry off after a shower.The Brooklinen Waffle Robe exudes casual, spa-day-at-home vibes, and we practically lived in it during testing. It has a wide, fold-over collar, generous side pockets, and a tie that stays closed. It also feels almost weightless to wear, with a roomier cut than any other waffle robe we’ve ever tried. It was absorbent in our shower tests without feeling soggy, so we think the robe will dry you off and still be comfortable enough to lounge in. We tested Brooklinen’s Waffle Bath Towel, which is made of the same fabric, at the same time we tested this robe. Our male tester noted, “Usually this fabric is so thin it’s like wearing a tea towel, but this one is substantial.” It’s not as soft as terry or plush, but it’s one of the softest waffle fabrics we’ve seen, and it was flattering on both male and female testers. We were surprised by how thick and warm it is, too, especially since most unlined waffle robes we’ve tried are thin and flimsy. Why it’s great: Of the nine waffle robes we’ve tested, the Brooklinen Waffle Robe is the most luxurious and most generously sized.
