Importance Of Towels & How They’ve Become The ‘Must-Have’ Accessory

When it comes to taking care of your personal hygiene, never assume that it could be too much of personal hygiene, especially in times like these when dangerous diseases like COVID-19 are on the rise. Keeping in mind that our health and safety is truly important during these tough times, it is also essential to be proactive towards maintaining good personal hygiene. And this doesn’t just include washing or sanitizing your hands daily but also keeping a handy towel so that you can steer clear from harmful bacteria and create a healthy, sound and safe environment for yourself and your loved ones. On that note, let’s take a look at the importance of towels in today’s world and how they’ve emerged as a must have accessory.

Lockers and gym rooms

As bad as this sounds, gym rooms are often a breeding ground for bacteria and harmful germs.

They are adequately crowded throughout the day causing germs to easily spread. Even if you maintain a healthy social distance from others, chances are they won’t minimize your interactions with others. Hence, it is important to keep a hand towel by your side as you can use it to wipe off germs on equipment.

Elevators

Yes, there is no actual way of avoiding this. Regardless of whether you want to stay at home or are going to the office, there’s little possibility that you will not use the elevator. After all, it isn’t always possible to take the stairs, especially if you are carrying other things alongside. Also, knowing how polluted and crowded some of our cities are, there’s little chance for someone to not take the elevator. Keeping a hand towel in some scenarios is good as you can always use it to cover your face in the absence of a mask etc. It also provides protection for a shorter period of time.

Salons

We all go to the salon to get our hair trimmed at some point and while salons are usually well-sanitized these days, you should also do your part of maintaining good hygiene. In such cases, using bath towels is extremely important. You can wipe your hair, face and skin using your personal towels and salon linen as well. If carrying a bath towel is a hassle for you, you could also consider using a small face towel. That will also do the job.

How Instagram Adopted the Whole Towel Trend

There’s no doubt that Instagram trends inexplicably appear from nowhere, and the latest one to become popular out of them all is the towel trend. Whether it is millennials, celebs or influencers, everyone these days loves to show off their latest bathroom accessories and up their Instagram game by taking post shower/swim selfies by the bathtub/pool, and mind you! The highlight here is the towel.

From celebs like Gigi Hadid to Selena Gomez and Kendall Jenner, everyone these days seems to be sporting a towel in many different ways. Either they are worn on the head post shower or wrapped around the body after a quick swim session at the pool. The usual way of sporting this includes wearing a pair of tiny sunglasses. Not only do they look aesthetic but also quite retro and vintage, a fashion trend celeb has been trying to emulate for the longest time.

The towel and bathrobe scene has become so popular that even celebs like Rita Ora wear them for red carpet and other celebrity events. It seems like the whole ‘stay-at-home’, ‘work-from-home’ scenario has affected the minds of people in such a way that every time they step out of home, they want to carry an element that represents home. Some moms also like to dress their kids up using kids towels for better social media engagement.

In short, using and wearing towels have become a trend. Hence, you should always include them in your daily routine. Whether they are bath towel sets, cotton towels, gym or hand towels, towels are overall an essential and definitely something we need for good health and well-being. However, make sure they are maintained properly and utilized well. Give your towel some good care and change them often to have a hygiene experience.
