The Return of Terry Towelling: Why This Retro Fabric Belongs in Your Wardrobe

Once associated mainly with beachwear and retro loungewear, Terry Towelling is making a bold comeback — and we’re here for it.

What is Terry Towelling?

Terry Towelling, also known simply as terry cloth, is a soft, looped fabric that’s incredibly absorbent, breathable, and irresistibly comfortable. Originally designed for towels (hence the name), it’s now a go-to fabric for stylish yet laid-back apparel.

Why We Love It

  • Unmatched comfort: Soft against the skin, it’s perfect for warm-weather days.

  • Versatility: From polos to shorts to matching sets, Terry Towelling can do it all.

  • Vintage vibes: It’s got that effortlessly cool, 70s-inspired flair we can’t get enough of.

How to Wear It

Pair a terry shirt with tailored trousers for a smart-casual twist, or go full-on relaxed with a matching set for off-duty weekends. Want to take it poolside? Terry shorts and slides are your new summer essentials.

The Bottom Line

Terry Towelling isn’t just for the beach anymore. It’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re lounging at home, grabbing coffee, or catching a flight, this fabric has the comfort and cool factor to match.
