History

National Flaunt Your Favorite Beach Towel Day began in 2022.

The idea came from Kinyatta E. Gray, founder of FlightsInStilettos LLC. She wanted to create a fun, fashion-forward moment to highlight stylish beach towels.

Gray had already designed eye-catching towel collections, so the celebration fit perfectly with her work. She officially launched the day through her company and blog, calling people to show off towels that reflect their flair.

This day isn’t just about fabric. It’s about self-expression, color, and pride. Beach towels often get tossed around or overlooked. Gray turned them into a bold fashion statement.

Instead of focusing only on swimsuits or sandals, this day invites everyone to give their towel some love. Her brand features luxury towels that reflect diversity and confidence, often with women of color at the center.

Since its start, the day has encouraged folks across the country to join in. People lay out their brightest designs by the pool, at the beach, or even in their backyard.

It’s all about sharing joy, beauty, and individuality through one simple item. Gray’s vision turned a casual accessory into the star of summer fun, and people are responding with bright patterns and big smiles.


How to celebrate

Host a towel art showcase

Choose a vibrant towel and spread it out in a public or backyard space. Invite friends to bring theirs. Compare prints and textures. Vibrant colors spark conversation and show off personal taste. Microfiber towels dry fast and resist sand.

Start a towel relay race

Use towels instead of batons for a lively team activity. Form two squads. Dip towels in water and pass them along. The team that transfers the most moisture wins. This twist on beach games adds laughter and friendly competition.

Try a bounce-and-catch towel game

Two people hold a towel by the corners and toss a beach ball on top. Try to bounce it back and forth without dropping it. This game is simple to set up and fun for all ages.

Lie on a fitted sheet base

Lay a fitted bed sheet with corners held down to create a sand-free zone. Place your towel on top. It keeps sand away from your space and makes lounging more relaxing.

Build a towel-themed craft

Tie-dye a plain towel with bright dyes and patterns. This creates a one‑of‑a‑kind design worth showing off at the beach. It’s a creative way to personalize your favorite piece.
