There’s something bittersweet about the end of Summer. The days start to shorten, the evenings cool, and the energy shifts from carefree spontaneity to a quieter, more reflective pace. It’s tempting to rush into fall with schedules and to-do lists, but this time of year invites us to do something else entirely: slow down.
Before the leaves change and routines pick up again, there’s a moment where we can linger in the warmth of the season. At Kotton Bar, we believe in making that moment last with softness, simplicity, and comfort.
Here are a few ways to embrace the last golden days of summer with intention.
Create a Sunset Ritual
The light is softer and the skies are more golden. Make time in the evening to simply sit outside on a balcony, porch, or even a picnic blanket. Wrap yourself in a lightweight Turkish cotton throw or shawl, pour a glass of chilled wine or tea, and soak in the moment.
Use this time to journal, sketch, read, or just breathe. Slowing down doesn’t have to mean doing nothing, it means doing less, more fully.
Linger Longer After a Shower or Bath
Instead of rushing through your daily routine, turn it into a spa-like experience. Use a soft, Turkish cotton towel to wrap up in after a cool evening shower. The gentle weave dries you off quickly while feeling luxuriously soothing on sun-kissed skin.
Add a few drops of essential oil to your towel before drying off for a subtle, calming aroma. Slip into a light cotton robe and extend your self-care into a slow evening wind-down.
Take Your Morning Outside
Before the crispness of fall sets in, enjoy your morning rituals under the sky. Whether it’s coffee, meditation, or just a few quiet minutes, wrap yourself in a Turkish towel or loungewear and soak in the early light.
A Turkish peshtemal makes a perfect, breathable wrap, especially if mornings are still warm but breezy.
Keep a Turkish Towel in Your Bag for Spontaneous Summer Moments
The best part of late summer is its spontaneity. One last beach day. An impromptu picnic. A golden-hour walk that turns into a sit-down in the grass.
Turkish towels are compact and multi-use. Use them as a blanket, shawl, or even a tablecloth for spontaneous outdoor lounging. Keep one rolled up in your tote or basket for wherever the day takes you.
Refresh Your Space with Light Layers
As the season shifts, so can your home. Add breathable Turkish cotton throws or towels to your space to keep things feeling airy and clean. These subtle touches bring a sense of calm and seasonal softness, without fully letting go of summer’s lightness.
Swap out heavy towels for Turkish cotton towels or layer your sofa with a neutral-toned throw to create a cozy nook that bridges the seasons.
Host One More Simple Outdoor Gathering
There’s still time for one more sunset dinner or barefoot brunch. Keep it relaxed with fresh fruit, soft music, and maybe a Turkish towel as a table runner or picnic spread. Let the setting be as easy and beautiful as the moment itself.
It doesn’t need to be elaborate, it just needs to be intentional.
Let the Season Linger
You don’t have to rush into the next chapter. Summer’s slowness can stay with you, in how you move, how you rest, and how you care for yourself and your space.
Turkish cotton was made for this in-between season: soft, breathable, comforting, and timeless. So let the days stretch just a little longer. Linger in the light. Wrap yourself in softness.
And let summer stay with you, just a little bit more.
