A bath towel is the first thing you reach for after every shower — the right one is thick, absorbent, and stays soft wash after wash. Here are 10 worth buying.
My top pick: A set of 4-6 Turkish or Egyptian cotton bath towels, 600-700 GSM, in a neutral colour, is the one to own — long-staple cotton absorbs more water, 600+ GSM feels plush without being heavy, and neutral colours hide wear and match any bathroom.
