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 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 13 silk robes ahead exude luxury, whether you're glamming up for a night out or prepping for bed.

You don't have to be a bride to enjoy getting dressed in a short silk robe. Treat yourself, a partner, best friend, or mom to our glossy options. The short length is comfy to not get in the way as you prep for the long day ahead.
As soon as I step outside, I spend far too much time daydreaming about returning home and the glorious feeling of changing back into my favorite cozy pajamas. If you're anything like me, these buttery soft silk robes will be what you dream of.
It’s no secret that we love sweaters — chunky knits, turtlenecks, striped jumpers — you name it. Can you blame us? There’s nothing better than a cozy knit top to snuggle in while you venture out in the brisk outdoors. But if we have one tiny little complaint about the state of knitwear, it’s this: Every style looks the same as those from years past. Sweaters can get repetitive. However, one silhouette that has been upgraded in the past few years is cardigans. "My unraveling chunky cardigan," you ask? Not exactly. The best cardigan in your wardrobe has yet to come.
Cardigans started to make a stylish comeback in fall 2022 when micro versions made headlines during New York Fashion Week. Designers like Maryam Nassir Zadeh and Kim Shui debuted tiny cardigans — the cousin to the viral pin tops — during their spring 2022 runways. As you can imagine, fashion enthusiasts and celebs ate it up. While the itty-bitty, thin cardigan is still floating along, many people are still opting for warmer, more sustainable options in updated, 2023-friendly designs.
From whimsical hues, funky patterns, and chunky knits to classic silhouettes, front-close knits are here to spice up your cool-weather ensembles. Don't worry; we still added a few of the beloved oversized and cable-knit styles for you to throw on while listening to T Swift's "Cardigan." Plus, as fall approaches, there's no better time to add to your collection with a new-and-improved cropped or long cardi sweater (or two). Here are 29 of the best cardigans around to get you started.
