Editor-approved dressing gowns to make those dark winter evenings feel a tad more decadent

Investing in one of the best dressing gowns, in our humble opinion, trumps every other sartorial purchase you can make. Fluffy dressing gowns are versatile AF, for one: made for snuggling on the sofa, draping over your shoulders while you make your first morning brew, keeping you warm while you WFH, wearing while you do your make-up and skincare, acting as a winter coat when you take the bins out and keeping you covered on your daily dash to the shower. Whew.

Women’s dressing gowns also make great gifts for her – not least because you don’t need to know her size to get the purchase right. Along with a chic pair of pyjamas or a fleece-lined pair of slippers, a luxury dressing gown isn’t something she’s likely to prioritise buying herself. So treating her to a cosy dressing gown that she can snuggle in front of The White Lotus in is guaranteed to go down a treat.
