SO VERSATILE
So English was born on the beach and offers heritage clothing for a new generation.
Recreating that glorious childhood feeling of being wrapped in cotton towelling after swimming in the sea. Designed to easily slip on post swim but sleek and stylish enough to take you through your day.
In the US you call it Terry, here we call it Towelling and it’s our fabric of choice. Our towelling is an Italian mid-weight, ‘snag free’ 100% cotton loop that drapes beautifully and is super kind to sensitive skin.
So much more comfortable than stretch towelling or microfibre, the cotton loops act like a cushion making it snuggly to wear but still so easy to slip on (or off!)
All our garments are proudly made in the UK.

We swim at least once a week in the sea near where we live. What better way to dry off with style than in one of your robes – we all want one now!

Fits like a glove and takes me back to my childhood days on Hayling Island, eating fish & chips and playing in the sea.

I’m loving my beautiful dress. It’s sassy, smart, unique and I can take it from home to the pool, beach or boat. Marvellous and totally unbeatable in looks, style and wearability.

Amanda - Serial Property Developer
Pool to House – Balcony to bed. Anytime I’m not sure what to wear and want to look respectable, I pull it on! A very versatile piece of clothing.
-
Nina - Artist
It’s not only useful but super stylish, something to really match up to the high you fell when you come out of the Scottish sea and want to enjoy that moment. I love it so much I wear it over my PJs as well as on the beach!

Flattering, timeless swimwear is hard to find, but I know that my robe will last my lifetime and most likely be handed to my daughter as an heirloom.
-
Josephine - Architectural Designer
I couldn’t live without my SoEnglish dresses. In the summer I throw them over a bikini and wellies and head straight out into the garden. I must be the best dressed gardener in Northamptonshire!

Absolutely adore my Ramona. Putting it on after my daily swim is genuinely the highlight of my day and I’m inundated with compliments when I’m chatting on Insta stories sporting it. It’s exceptionally well made, superb colours, very absorbent and the envy of all!

I put mine on as soon as I get up in the morning. Around the house, (with jeans when it’s cooler), after the hot tub and it’s definately in my suitcase for the summer hols!
-
Sarah - Open Water Swimmer
Love my So English robe. Super useful when going to and from my swim and don’t need to take anything else. Whether I’m swimming in the sea, lake or pool it is the perfect accessory.
