A Guide to Bath Towels

We’ve put together this quick guide to the best towel types at The Citizenry, along with a few tips to make your bathroom a mini oasis. From lightweight, absorbent towels to plush, fluffy weaves, we’re here to help you find your towel soulmate.

Few things are more luxurious than stepping out of a hot shower into the soft embrace of your favorite bath towels. In fact, some people love it so much that they’re on a constant search for the best bath towels around. Fortunately, teaching people how to pick bath towels is one of our passion projects.
