How come a towel can dry you off better than a shirt even if they’re the same material?

Same answer, different lingo.
Towels are typically terry cloth, which is a specific weave type. How a fabric is woven can have just as much, if not more, impact on how it behaves compared to what it’s made out of.
[Terry cloth is covered in thousands of little loops](https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/texture-beige-terry-cloth-closeup-shot-texture-beige-terry-cloth-closeup-shot-134306863.jpg), giving it more surface area and making it better at trapping all the water.
