Terry garments – A summer favourite

Terry garments are one of the most informal garments and materials you can wear on hot summer days. Towels and bathrobes have long been made from this water-absorbent and comfortable material, and in recent years, it has been adapted to the clothes we wear. Today, a terry polo shirt is perfect after a cooling swim in the sea, running to the nearest beach bar or hotel lobby. Below, we give you tips on two models that will complete your summer wardrobe.

The white resort shirt from our collaboration with Britain’s Sunspel comes in a finer terry and is reminiscent of "French Terry", which is often found on the inside of sweatshirts and hoodies. This resort shirt can be worn either on its own or with a tank top or t-shirt underneath. Wear it with a pair of drawstring linen trousers, Birkenstocks and a bucket hat from Japan’s BEAMS for an understated and casual summer style.

This blue terry polo shirt from OAS is a true icon that can be styled in multiple ways. If you strive for a pure beach style, a pair of white swimming trunks creates a timeless colour combination. The polo shirt also pairs well with a pair of light-washed jeans when you just want to go to the ice cream parlour in the scorching sun.

The recent seasons' explosion of the terry material has made it possible to see all sorts of garments where polo shirts, shirts, shorts and even overshirts have been able to share a place in the spotlight. Originating as a garment that was okay for the beach - but now ideal for everyday use. Along with cool materials such as linen and cotton, terry now stands steadfast when the temperatures start to rise.
