Terry Cloth Clothing Is the Unexpected Trend Dominating Summer Fashion

We’re willing to bet at least one of the Kar-Jenners owns this bikini top. P.S.: It’s double-lined so you can take a dip and not worry about your top being totally soaked (or turning sheer).

Never met a wireless bra we didn’t like. 

Mango’s always turning out budget-friendly takes on the latest trends. Case in point: this lilac button-down which has us already dreaming of pretty lavender fields. 

Take the halter-top trend that ruled late ’90s and early ’00s fashion, and try it out as a swimsuit this season. Pair it with puddle pants for a full-on ode to simpler times. 

Fill this beaut up with beach towels, sunscreen, and some shades. Peep the outside pocket to store extra face masks.

Just what wet hair needs!

This sky blue bucket hat is the perfect accent to sweat shorts and a ribbed tank. And since it folds, you can smush it into a carry-on on your next family trip.

As its name implies, Terry serves up all things terry cloth. We’re especially into this button-up playsuit, featuring a waist tie and roomy legs.

Wear this cropped sweatshirt with coordinating shorts and a pair of thong sandals to pretend you’re sipping a spritz in Positano. The floaty silhouette works equally well as a beach coverup. 

We’re seeing lots of terry tops and shorts, but here’s a cute mini dress you can throw on without a second thought. The length is perfect for slightly windy beach days—and the collar has just the right amount of pop. 

Want a little midriff moment? Snag this crop top from Zara before it sells out (you know it will).

Not quite ready to wear terry cloth out? You can still bring the fluffy fabric into your life by way of this sea-creature-inspired robe.  

Versatile accessories, like this playful headband, are a noncommittal way to experiment with the trend. This would also make a cute gift if there’s an upcoming birthday you need to shop for.

Give your everyday T-shirt collection a fun spin with this olive green number. The familiar silhouette is an approachable way to test out the material.

This tiny tank will take you straight back to summers in the ’00s. Style it with high-waist jeans and dad sneakers for a city-ready feel.

Whether you slide into these slippers post-shower or post-swim, instantly dry feet await. 

We love the simplicity of this tennis-inspired romper, and that you can layer a T-shirt underneath it for a whole new look. 

Blue waves printed on terry cloth? So. Meta. 

Channel some “Paris Hilton meets Juicy Couture” energy with this matching set. The relaxed silhouette is perfect for taking your pup on midday walks or sprawling out on a deck chair for a late-afternoon siesta.
