This Black Friday saw many of our favorite retailers drop some of their biggest sales of the year, including one of our favorite home essentials brands, Parachute. Though Parachute is primarily known for its array of luxury bedding, it seems shoppers were looking for ways to stay cozy outside of the bedroom, too. According to the brand, one of its Cloud Cotton robes sold every 60 seconds during Parachute’s week-long Black Friday shopping event.

Since we’re already fans of Parachute’s waffle weave robe, we weren’t surprised to see their latest addition to their bath line strike a chord with customers. Made from a premium, long-staple Turkish cotton, the Cloud robe is soft, light, and absorbent, making it a cold-weather essential anyone would adore slipping into after a relaxing bath or shower.
Available in six gorgeous colors—including cobalt, rose, and clay—the robe also features a warm, fluffy two-ply gauze construction, a flattering waist tie, and, yes, two hidden side pockets. Falling right above the knee, its stylish design is timeless and works for all seasons, meaning you won’t have to swap it out once the weather warms up, either.
At $109, the price is a bit on the higher side, but now through Dec. 13, you can get it for 20 percent off with code COZY20! If Parachute customer reviews are any indication, it’s well worth it. In fact, one raved that it’s “like ‘I stole it from a hotel’ good,” while another declared it “possibly the best robe I’ve ever owned.” Whether it’s nice enough to wear it to your next Zoom meeting, we’ll let you decide.
Buy: Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe, $87.20 (normally $109)

Working from home has meant a total change in workwear for many of us. While comfort is still key these days, looking (but especially feeling) put together is just as important when it comes to productivity and performance. I’ve tried a number of wearable blankets over the years, but this one is by far the chicest among them. Its part-shawl, part-lapel neckline makes me feel sophisticated during Zoom calls, movie nights, and early mornings. It even (rather ironically) gives me a little extra motivation to get out of bed, since I can go from cozy comforter straight to my Blanket Robe and feel good about my choices.
The Snoozewear Blanket Robe has a gender-neutral kimono-style design, with batwing sleeves that make movement easy yet don’t sacrifice coverage. Its shell is a soft, brushed cotton, and the down alternative fill is evenly distributed throughout the classic quilted construction. It’s seriously lightweight, especially compared to other wearable blankets and housecoats. Not only is it super easy to care for (hello, machine washable!), but it really is super soft, and its high-quality materials and construction make me happy knowing I’ll have it for a long, long time.
I opted for the Indigo colorway, but the Blanket Robe also comes in Oatmilk — a beige — and White. The best part for me is that it doesn’t pick up cat hair like every other textile I own seems not to have figured out yet. Tailored and polished Casper’s is my new standard for work-from-home-wear.

You know how the old, well-known robe adage goes, right? The one that says a good robe isn’t very hard to find? No? Well, that’s because I made it up — but I have every right to. Somehow, between 10+ years of being a lifestyle editor, a pro bridesmaid, and having a known penchant for cozy items, I own… a lot of robes, most of which have proven their worth in my closet and dresser. My husband strongly disagrees, insisting I can’t possibly need that many (to be fair, they do take up some serious space). But I just love robes. So when I tell you that Kassatex’s Spa Luxury Robe is truly great — perhaps the best of the best in all that I’ve tried — you’ll want to listen up.
Kassatex is an elevated home brand that’s beloved at AT — our editors can’t say enough good things about their bath towels, hand towels, and sheets. The consensus is that their materials are incredibly soft, sturdy, and stand up to tons of trips to the washing machine. But what about loungewear?
I quickly found out that the Kassatex Spa Luxury Robe is not your average robe. If you’re looking for something delicate or sheer, this isn’t what you want. But if you’re looking for a robe that’s exactly like one you’d find neatly folded in a luxe spa just waiting for you after a treatment, you should add to cart now. It’s a grown woman’s robe, to put it mildly. It does not mess around. It’s a slight investment robe, if you will, at $100, but well worth it for a nice upgrade to start the new year off on a chic, warm foot. It’s very structured and durable, with a stylish collar and sash that show off a bit of the super-absorbent, comfortable terry lining. The hem hits me around my lower calf, so it’s almost full coverage, which is perfect for jumping into after a shower on a chilly night. And because it’s so breathable, I can wear it year round.
When I did my first test-drive pre-wash, I noticed that the microfiber exterior material was a little stiff; after washing it a few times, it was still just as structured and durable but a bit more cloud-like, too. I found myself reaching for it every night, and as I sat on the couch watching TV or working on my laptop, it even made that experience feel a little more special — like I was an actress in a Nancy Meyers movie who also happened to be watching TV or working on her laptop. It’s just that statement-making. Perhaps most importantly, it has roomy pockets, as all great loungewear should. And while it comes in four pretty colors, I stuck to classic white for a crisp look.
Do yourself a favor and gift yourself a New Year’s robe upgrade, feel like one of Nancy’s leading ladies, and take a trip to the spa in your own bathroom — all with one garment. I might be forced to downsize my robe inventory very soon, but this one will never leave my closet.
