January is always a good time to stock up on towels (all those white sales); here are our personal favorites. N.B.: Prices listed are for standard bath size towels, unless otherwise noted.
Above: Pottery Barn Classic 820-Gram Weight Bath Towels; $24 (currently on sale for $19).
Above: Lexus Three Piece Bath Towel Set; $60 for three from the Turkish Towel Company. Favored by Sarah for their absorbency and softness.
Above: Organic Cotton Solid Towel; $19 from West Elm.
Above: Matteo Due Shag Bath Towels; $36 each at Design Public (picked up on sale by Sarah, but worth the splurge at full price as well).

Waffle weave towels are my favorite!
My wife and I bought the Macy's Hotel Collection towels, which do feel great, but the color started to fade after just a couple washings. If you get them, you may want to be extra careful about washing in cold water.
I love those pottery barn towels in the first photo. I stocked up right after christmas for the new year and they're fab!
