Once you own the bathrobe of your dreams, you'll wonder how you ever managed to live without it. Bathrobes are the underrated heroes of feeling comfortable and happy at home — and if you've been spending a lot more time at home than usual, it's worth investing in a high-quality one. Take the best luxury robes featured on this list, for example: They're much better quality than your standard terry robes, so they'll not only feel like a treat to wear, but they'll last you years (or even decades) as well.

But the most luxurious robe for one person might not work for another, which is why finding a robe you truly love is often easier said than done. For example, if you’re someone who always seems to be cold, a plush, fluffy fleece or velour robe will be your perfect match. On the other hand, if you easily overheat or can't stand wearing anything bulky, a jersey or silk robe might be a better fit. As you can see, there are a lot of options out there, but luckily, you don’t have to go in totally blind. Instead, take advantage of this roundup to help you find your perfect robe. Whichever type of robe suits your preferences — sumptuous cashmere, pure silk, or opulent velvet — you won’t be disappointed by the 11 luxurious options featured here.

Best Short, Lightweight Robe For Summer

Note that it's available in more sizes and colors here.

Best Cozy Hooded Robe For Winter

If you're looking for the warmest, coziest robe to snuggle up in, this glorious find from Alexander Del Rossa will be perfect. Made of soft, thick flannel fleece with an ankle-skimming hem, it's trimmed in fluffy faux fur at the cuffs and hood, giving it the grand look of a winter cape for royalty. That said, if the fur feels a little too fancy for your taste, the version without the fur lining is equally snug.

Plus, if you style it the right way, it can easily double as a gorgeous belted cardigan.
