If trying out the best loungewear and different dressing gowns was an Olympic sport, we have no doubt that we would be heading home with a gold medal. As far as we are concerned, a dressing gown should be a vital part of everyone's wardrobe. There is no better feeling than slipping on a warm, fluffy robe when you're fresh out of the shower.
Not only are they warm, but they are versatile, too. Just got out of the bath? Dressing gown. Just got out of bed? Dressing gown. Just got home from work? You guessed it...dressing gown. They are one of those things that help to add a little bit of luxury to everyday life, much like our guides to the best silk pillowcases and the best weighted blankets.
We've rounded up our top picks below, from white waffle dressing gowns to slinky satin numbers, from the likes of White Company to Soho Home, with affordable options from Very and H&M.
