Much attention is paid to bathing, showering and skincare routines, but what happens next? This is where bath towels come in – consider them a crucial part of your bathroom ritual. Used every day by yourself and your guests, designer bathroom towels can be plain, patterned or monogrammed, while bath towels in particular stand out for both their size (bigger than hand towels, facecloths and guest towels) and their plush, indulgent handle, particularly in contrast to lightweight beach towels. In terms of materials, Egyptian cotton towels come out on top, with their softness, density and absorbency representing the pinnacle of high-quality towelling – expect to find plenty in our edit.
