I’m currently in my morning dip and sip era. You know those annoying people on Instagram who get up at like 5am, go exercise, swim at the beach, and have a coffee all before 7am? Yep, that’s me, and I’m heaps smug about it. Mostly because at the end of my dip, pre-sip, I get to curl up in my hooded towel and stroll to my local to pick up a coffee. There’s something about it that really sets up my day.

Hooded towels are like the summer version of an Oodie. They’re cosy, make you feel safe and, in my world, count as clothing post-beach. And they’re not just for little kids, brands like Billabong, Roxy, Rip Curl, Star Gazer, Hurley and Oodie all make versions of them for adults. So you no longer have to be jealous of all the little sandy crumb cutlets running around at the beach in their hooded towels looking all comfy and shit.

If, like me, you’re in your hooded towel era, I’ve gone and found nine different brands that make your new summer essential.

The Best Hooded Towels for Summer

Oodie

The legends that make those comfy wearable blankets also make a towel version, too. Made from a quick dry cotton fabric, it’s breathable, lightweight, and comes in various colours and patterns.

Star Gazer
