I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to shopping for new fashion pieces or trendy products, I’m easily influenced – especially if the recommendation comes from a celebrity with notoriously impeccable taste. Last fall, I had the opportunity to interview celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe (who I’ve long been an admirer of), and during our phone conversation, she shared some of her all-time favorite products. These items ranged from a beaded necklace and an anti-aging serum to a retro pair of Adidas sneakers and a cozy, oversized robe – specifically, the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe ($102, originally $135).
Zoe couldn’t say enough great things about this particular robe, even calling it one of her go-to “sleeping essentials” and revealing that her entire family owns their own Barefoot Dreams robes (talk about a testimony!). Now, I’m no stranger to Barefoot Dreams – and if you’re someone who, like me, regularly scrolls through TikTok or keeps tabs on celebrity-favorite products, then you’re probably familiar with the brand as well. The loungewear and apparel label is known for having some of the softest, most comfortable, and luxurious products on the market. Hailey Bieber has raved about the CozyChic Blanket, and Kourtney Kardashian and Brie Larson are also huge fans.
Coziness is at the heart of everything that Barefoot Dreams creates, and with cozy season right around the corner, I figured now would be the perfect time to finally try out the brand’s bestselling CozyChic Robe for myself and see if it lives up to all the internet hype. Keep reading for my honest review of this viral product and to find out why I think it would make the perfect gift for your friend (or any woman) in your life.
What I Love About the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe
The obvious answer is that I love how ridiculously cozy and comforting this robe feels when I wear it – it’s genuinely the softest thing in my entire apartment, and it often feels warmer than some of my larger blankets. The style is made from a plush polyester microfiber material that’s irresistibly cozy and somehow manages to relax my body the moment I put it on; any tensions within my body instantly melt away. But the deeper, more layered answer is that I appreciate how much this robe has elevated my post-shower routine.
While the robe isn’t strictly reserved for bathroom wear, it has been a great addition to my evening bathroom regimen, especially when I step out of the shower. I’ll usually dry off with one of my regular cotton towels and then immediately slip into this robe for all my post-shower tasks – which include working through my nightly skincare routine, brushing my hair, applying lotion, and (depending on my meal schedule) brushing my teeth. These tasks usually feel like chores, but because of how luxurious this robe feels, it’s almost like my morning and nighttime routines have been elevated into a more enjoyable experience. The product itself is so decadent that wearing it feels like a spa-like experience – except it’s one that I get to enjoy from the comfort of my own home every day. I was not expecting to fall in love with this robe as much as I did, but now I completely understand why Zoe had endless compliments for the product.
What’s Worth Noting About the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe
Because it’s made from a polyester microfiber material, the robe does have specific care instructions. According to the Barefoot Dreams website, it’s recommended that you machine wash the robe in cold water on a gentle cycle. Once washed, you can lay it flat to dry or tumble dry on low. If needed, you can steam or cool iron the fabric, but it’s advised not to wash the robe with bleach, dryer sheets, or fabric softener. Following these steps will help preserve the quality of your robe and prevent it from pilling over time.
Who Is the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe Best For?
Honestly, it’s hard to pinpoint a specific target audience for this robe because it’s perfect for everyone. The style has a cozy fit that wraps seamlessly around the body and makes you feel like you’re being hugged by a cloud. It’s heavier than most robes I’ve worn, but not so much that it feels overwhelming – in fact, I think it would be a great investment or gift for
