Terry Bikini

What terry fabric is on swimwear

Terry is the loop knit construction — the same loop weave as the towel face, worked in the swim weight. The fabric reads as the textured face: the loop side and the flat side, with the soft hand feel of the knit.

The pool runs 6 styles, about $33 to $54 — the tropical print three piece with the maxi skirt, the terry sarong cut out halter, the striped terry micro triangle, the metal heart wrap triangle and the ruched terry halter in the loop fabric.

Styling terry swim

• Terry reads as the casual resort texture — pair it with the simple line and the fabric stays the statement
• For the striped terry builds, the loop face carries the pattern; keep the accessories solid
• The sarong pieces layer over any set in the store, not just this edit
• Off the beach, the terry three piece reads as the relaxed layer under an open shirt

Caring for terry swimwear

• Rinse after the water; the loop face traps salt in the weave and dries slower than a smooth jersey
• Dry flat or hung with the loops to the air — the terry holds moisture in the loop side
• Do not hang the terry set on a sharp hook; the loop weave snags where the smooth fabric would not
• Check the scrunch and the ruched builds after each wash; the gathered edge takes the wear load
