Breaking the fourth wall, Ferris Bueller talks to the audience, pleased with his ability to fool his parents into taking a sick day, his ninth that year. Indeed, there are many moments in this ’80s teen comedy that are forever etched in our memories—and many fantastic fits, for that matter. But this opening scene—where Bueller is wearing a red-and-gray striped bathrobe—is the one that stands out for me. I mean, the guy is wearing a bathrobe, and he makes it look damn cool.

The best bathrobes come in every conceivable fabric, print, length, and color. The connecting thread is that they are no-fuss, tie-front wraps that are intended for easy living. Pick the robe, or two, or more that appeals to you and caters to whatever leisure activity you have planned. If you’re a debonair dude that sips whiskey neat after dinner, opt for a dressing gown in silk-jacquard. Do you work from home and want something nondescript? There are plenty of cotton styles in neutral hues that you can wear all day. If you’re a self-assured fella like Ferris, a nifty pattern is what you need on those sick days, or pretend ones. To help you find the perfect one (or two, or three), we corralled all the styles that will make you the lord of your domain.
