A material that we don’t necessarily associate with summer, sun, beach and sea, but which is now absolutely trendy is terrycloth. Bags made from the cozy material are now on our shopping list.
When you think of terry as a material, do you think of your cozy towels straight away? It’s the same with us. But now the soft material is not only justified for being in the bathroom cabinet. As of this season, the material has also found its way into the wardrobes of many fashionistas and fashion girls – and feels right at home there in the form of beach bags.
This is what terry cloth is made of
Why should we go for terrycloth now? The material is air-permeable and breathable due to its special weave. A perfect companion for hot summer days. By the way: This is where the term “terry” is derived from, which comes from the French word “frotter” (German: rub dry).
Terrycloth bags: perfect for the beach
The reason why we are now taking terry cloth to the beach in the form of a bag is not only explained by its absorbent properties. The look and the design of the It-Bag immediately create summery feelings. In bright colors like pink or yellow (as seen at Prada), green (as at Tom Ford) or purple (as seen at Espadrij L’Originale) they are eye-catchers and transform any simple tunic into a stylish summer outfit. For the ultimate beach appeal, luxury labels like “Fiorucci” also embroider their terrycloth bags with summery prints like lemons – we love!
Cheap alternatives?
But not only Prada, Tom Ford & Co. jump on the toweling bandwagon. If you don’t want to dig too deep into your pocket for the it-piece, you should take a look around at fashion chains such as Zara, Mango or Pull & Bear. Because there are cheaper alternatives here.
Styling tip: less is more
If you go looking for terry cloth bags, you will quickly notice that most of them are available in a bright color. There are fewer nude tones. Thus, the bag is almost always the focus and therefore harmonizes best with more subtle looks. Our favorite combination for the terry bag: cream-colored linen trousers and a loosely cut blouse in white. Gold jewelry or shell jewelry – your beach outfit is ready.
