There are a few key moments in every person's life that'll make you feel like one of the luckiest people on earth. You know: biting into a warm and gooey brownie, snuggling up with a fur friend, hitting a major career or personal milestone, checking into a nice hotel for the weekend... At any rate, we'd argue that slipping into a luxurious bathrobe — you know, the kind that envelopes you and practically demands a mirror selfie right then and there — should take the top spot on the list.
Seriously, think about it: Is there anything better? Bathrobes are kind of like rose-tinted glasses for the soul. Which is why we're going bathrobe shopping, stat: Whether you're in the market for a new bathrobe or searching for the perfect gift, you cannot go wrong with one of these luxe bathrobes.

You'll feel like you've wrapped yourself in fluffy whipped cream wearing this ultra-plush robe by Cariloha. It's made with eco-friendly viscose from bamboo, which means that in addition to being super soft, it's also highly absorbent, moisture-wicking, and resistant to odors and allergens. The design features two deep pockets (seriously, you could keep a novel inside if you wanted), a high neck, and a tie at the waist.
If you're more of a less-fabric-is-more gal when it comes to robes, this striped number from Betsey Johnson is a great pick. It's made from a super soft lightweight rayon, though it still has a nice heft that makes it easy to move around in comfortably.
In addition to the bold pattern, it features a ruffled bottom and ruffled sleeves with lace hemlines, as well as a lace heart cutout on the back. There's a tie in the front, and a secondary inner tie that prevents it from falling open at inopportune times.
MeMoi offers another lightweight robe option, also with some extra design flair. Their Wrap Kimono features a combination of textured black velvet and sheer florals, which is pulled together (quite literally) with a purple satin belt and decorative trim. It's undeniably chic — in fact, it's almost too good to only wear at home. On that note, you can totally get away with wearing it out of the house, too. Pair it with a white camisole or tank and your favorite jeans and you're good to go.
Just looking at this robe by Snowe might make you feel more relaxed; now imagine actually wearing it! It boasts innovative technology for an ultra-soft, ultra-plus woven terry cotton. This also makes it exceptionally lightweight, which means you're not going to battle the post-shower sweats just by cozying up in this bad boy. It comes in charcoal grey (pictured), slate blue, and essential white, and is a unisex design.
