Don’t run the risk of having sand kicked in your face for lying on substandard towels this summer! As July and the vacation season really starts in earnest, here are our favourites to take along to the beach or harbourside.
Way
Sustainable, light-weight and lovely to touch, this towel is perfect for poolside or beach. We love the rich terracotta colour too.
Hermès
The dernier-cri of beach luxe, this towel costs as much as the flight to get to St. Tropez but for sure will get you noticed. Perhaps not wise to leave it unattended when you go in the sea though…
Arket
At the opposite end of the price range, this cotton blanket is still very chic and blue and white stripes are always the perfect backdrop to a suntan.
Loewe
Another more pricey but definitely very chic version is the Loewe Paula’s Ibiza towel. The stylised anagram is subtle and gives it a bit of a retro lux vibe which is very Riviera.
NN07 x Byborre
A double-layer cotton blanket in an abstract pattern of different blues, this is limited to just 100 pieces, reducing the chance of you matching anyone else on the beach.
Frette
We love the minimalism of this elegant grey towel and the way that the white border forms a frame around you whilst you pose in your speedos.
