When shopping for bath towels, there are a few specific things you'll want to keep in mind.

✔️ Washability: Will these towels will be functional or used for decoration? How often will they be put into the regular rotation, and what will they look like after being tossed into the wash a few times?

If you're looking for a spare set for a guest bathroom or to put on display in your powder room you won't need to find towels that will hold up to frequent use — this may be the perfect opportunity to buy that set of bright white linens you've always wanted.

For towels that will be handled more often you'll want something that will stand up to lots of washing (like cotton and cotton blends) and something that can easily hide stains (darker colors or patterns are great for this).

✔️ Absorbency: If you prefer a quick-drying towel, you'll want to look for a cotton and polyester blend or a cotton pick with shorter yarn loops. If you prefer something more plush but still very absorbent, look for towels made of 100% cotton, especially those with longer staple fibers like Turkish cotton. Also look at the weight of the towel, or the GSM; over 600 GSM translates to a heavier weight and will be more absorbent.

✔️ Size: Then of course there's picking a towel that's big enough for the person who will be wrapping it around their body. To figure out what size you'll need, consider that a standard sized bath towel is 28 x 54 inches. If that's not large enough to get the job done, you should consider buying a bath sheet (39 x 59 inches) or a large bath sheet (40 x 72 inches).

✔️ Amount: You'll also want to keep in mind that you'll need at least two to three towels on hand per person or six to eight towels for a family of three.
