Terry cloth is such a fun, playful fabric, and summer is the time for playful clothing that’s cool and breezy to wear. It’s such a comfortable fabric that once you wear it, you’ll want to keep wearing it. Sporty tennis dresses that are easy to slip on and run out the door are the perfect summer style. And of course, matching sets are a must for a quick yet chic look for any activity.
