Few things feel as luxurious as slipping into a silk robe at the end of the day. “It is one small purchase that can make you feel good in your own skin,” says Jenna Cohen, director of merchandising, active at Nordstrom. “The fabric glides onto your body and helps you feel chic and pulled together at home.”
Once too precious to wear on a regular basis, robes made of silk, charmeuse, and chiffon have evolved to match the pace of a modern lifestyle. Contemporary brands like Lunya and Eberjey make machine-washable styles for a quick and easy refresh that doesn’t require a trip to the dry cleaner, allowing you to indulge in everyday elegance at home and on the go. “We’ve curated an assortment of silk robes that are washable, travel well, and have a front tie, to make them easy to wear as often as you want,” Cohen tells Bazaar. “We know our customers are busy, and offering a selection that is easy to care for is a priority for us.”
Durable yet incredibly soft, the modern silk robe is as lavish as it is practical. Keep reading to discover the best silk robes, from vintage-inspired gowns to contemporary mini wraps in fresh new colorways.
Washable Silk Robe

Lunya's best selling robe is the practical choice for everyday use. The best part, no dry cleaning required!
What customers are saying: "This is easily the most flattering, comfortable, and beautiful robe that I have found. The fit is perfect, the material regulates my body temperature well in the winter and summer, and it stays tied. I can’t recommend this robe enough."

Nordstrom Washable Silk Longline Robe
"The Nordstrom Made Silk Robe is washable and 100% silk, offering a comfortable fit and an accessible price point," Cohen says. Nordstrom's private label offers a luxurious fabric at a price point that can't be beat for real silk. This one is also machine washable. As one customer points out, it is a great gift option for others (or simply yourself).
What customers are saying: One five star reviewer says, "Really didn’t expect to love this as much as I do! It’s beautiful, it’s hot, it's subtle, it’s washable! Robes like this often don’t really have that great of a shape, but this one does; the lapel and arms hit nicely. It obviously feels luxurious, and looks it! I chose black as it seemed more practical. I’m 5’7” and the length of the small on me is as the model shows. Sale price is so good for silk and what’s more-washable silk!"

What customers are saying: "I was looking for a bridal robe that was long, silky and reasonably priced without saying “bride” on it. This robe works perfectly! It’s not that fake shiny looking satin- it’s more matte and expensive looking than others I tried. Also love that it’s not completely transparent or mesh in the back, like a lot of bridal robes are. I’ll be wearing this the morning of my wedding in October!"
