Abstract: A tie towel may comprise a tie and a towel. The tie may comprise a terry cloth belt of similar composition to a typical cotton towel, or may comprise another material, for example, a cotton/polyester blend or microfiber. The tie may also further comprise an elastic material. The tie may be secured to the towel by weaving the tie through loops on the towel or by other means for securing the tie to the towel. The tie towel may be secured onto a user's body by wrapping the tie around the body and attaching the ends of the tie to one another by tying a knot or by other means such as a buckle, buttons, a hook and loops, or Velcro.
