Let’s break down the various choices you'll need to make when picking up a new dressing gown. In this buying guide, we’ll take a look at materials, pockets and whether or not to opt for a hood.
First up let's look at materials, as this will probably be the biggest deciding factor as to which dressing gown you buy. While there are many different materials to choose from, here are the most popular ones for the UK.
Cotton is by far one of the most common materials used in garment manufacture. It’s naturally breathable and soft, as well as being easy to care for. As it's relatively durable, you can just bung it in the washing machine after wearing.
Cotton dressing gowns are generally better for the summer months, as they don't quite have the same thermal qualities of other materials. So if you live somewhere that's prone to getting chilly at night, we’d recommend picking a warmer material instead.
Our favourite thing about polyester? It’s super affordable if you’re looking to pick up a dressing gown on a budget.
Polyester fabric is airy and quick-drying, which is ideal if you want to wash it during the day, ready for relaxing in when you get home from work. It also does a great job of wicking away sweat, which is why it's often used for gym gear. Making it an ideal choice in-between seasons.
Fancy a luxurious looking dressing gown? Then you might want to pick up a stylish satin number. Similar to silk in appearance, satin is produced differently to keep costs down.
Satin is made from synthetic fibres and woven to be free-flowing and flexible. However, it's also rather delicate and may even require dry-cleaning. So make sure to check the care label before buying!
If you’re truly looking for that fluffy-as-a-cloud feeling from your dressing gown, then there's nothing quite like fleece! This material traps heat to provide the best insulation, making it perfect for those cooler nights and mornings.
Furthermore, it’s incredibly easy to clean. If you accidentally spill your cuppa, you can just chuck it in the machine with the rest of your wash!
The main activity you're likely planning to do in your dressing gown is lounging at home. When relaxing, we want convenience! That's why we recommend picking up a dressing gown with pockets.
Pockets are useful for carrying necessities such as you phone or keys. Particularly if you need to take the bins out, or jump in the car to pick your partner up from work.
Hoods may be primarily designed to keep us dry when it’s raining. However, as the years have gone by, we’ve become quite accustomed to them. For many, hoods provide a source of comfort and an added layer of warmth.
You might want to pick a dressing with a hood for helping to dry your hair after a shower, or snuggle into when the weather's a bit nippy.
The soft, velvety fleece material of this dressing gown from John Lewis & Partners is the epitome of timeless style. We just had to put it in our top spot, and for good reason. As well as looking the part, it's extremely comfortable!
The price is on the higher end of affordable, but if you can't indulge yourself when you're reclining on the sofa then frankly, when can you? It has deep pockets, a belt-tie and is easy to clean. What's not to love?
We love the geometric print on this kimono-style robe from LONTG. It's chic, you could even get away with this as an outer layer in the summer if you so wish. Made from 100 % cotton with a loose and breezy fit, it's light enough to wear throughout the hottest days of the year.
Rather than full length sleeves, they cut off at the elbow to allow for greater freedom of movement. Especially useful when doing chores around the house, you won't need to roll up your sleeves to do the dishes.
Who doesn't want to be a Jedi? While wearing this dressing gown sadly won't allow you to possess a lightsaber, we have heard that it uses The Force to ease the early morning blues. Seriously though, this one will certainly make a welcome addition to the wardrobe of any Star Wars fan.
The high-quality polyester fabric is soft, snuggly and suitable for year round wear. May the force be with you!
Looking for the ultimate in warmth and comfort on a cold winter morning? This dressing gown is made from thermal fleece, guaranteed to make it that bit easier to leave the comfort of your warm nest or brave the chilly air after a hot shower,
It has a deep hood to keep your noggin warm, or provide some extra comfort when you're feeling a bit hungover. With a name like Super Soft, how can anyone not be enticed by that?
There are few patterns more distinctive in British fashion than the multi-stripe by Paul Smith. It's on everything from wallets to t-shirts, and now even a dressing gown! Made from 100% pure cotton, you're not only going to look cool, but feel cool too.
Okay, so it may cost a bit more than many of us are looking to spend on a dressing gown. But if well looked after, it's sure to last you a lifetime.
If you've always admired the style of Michael Caine in the late 1970s, this bold paisley patterned satin kimono is the one for you! A bit of luxury without the price tag, it comes in two different colourways so you can pick a shade to match your PJ's.
As satin can be delicate, be careful not to leave it lying around on the floor. Accidentally getting it caught underfoot could result in a nasty snag or tear so make sure to hang it up between wear.
This dressing gown from Tu is perfect for the man who prefers an uncomplicated, minimalist design. Wear with a pair of block-coloured pyjamas and you'll be looking like a style icon from the moment you get out of bed.
It has two deep side pockets and a wrap-around tie belt to keep you feeling snug. Although it may be a bit bland for some tastes, we absolutely dig the simplicity of this garment.
If you found that Thanos had somewhat of a point in the MCU, then what better way to show your support than wearing this to your next Marvel movie marathon? You'll even get to wear the six infinity stones!
This dressing gown comes with two convenient pockets for keeping anything you so desire, snacks anyone? It's great for a bit of fun, or perhaps the perfect present for a fellow lover of the franchise.
For those that love a bit of culture, this kimono is sure to hit all the right notes! The design of leaves and small arrows is evocative or traditional Japanese crafts, made from an airy fabric that's ideal for lazing around the house in summer.
The kimono has two ties, with one on the inside as well as the outside. So you won't have to worry about it coming undone. That said, this one is made with the slimmer man in mind, so gents with a larger build may have difficulty with the sizing.
Getting us underway is this dressing gown from Champion. It has a classy check design available in both navy and light blue and the blend of cotton and polyester keeps it lightweight. Making it perfect for the summer months.
However, be aware that the sizing guide provided tends to run slightly smaller than expected. So it might be best to order a size up to ensure the right fit.
Who says a man can't take pride in his appearance even when relaxing at home? Just because you're staying in doesn't mean you can't look your best. Check out these article to complete your loungewear look!
Whether you're looking for a stylish and sophisticated dressing gown, or one that's a bit of fun, we hope you've found our recommendations useful. Here's to having a great lazy day on the couch!
