For summer 2022, an old fave is making a comeback into our closets: terry cloth. It’s part resort wear, part Y2K fashion and all plush coziness. Loungewear is here to stay and the tactile texture gives us some novelty with peak comfort to wear whether we’re lounging by the pool or continuing to work from home. For some, the reference conjures curved hem athletic shorts or track suits or rompers.
