If The White Lotus has mastered anything beyond its gripping drama and signature air of mystery, it’s the art of resort-chic fashion. The HBO anthology series has become a style mood board for those drawn to the effortless elegance of luxurious getaways, whether in the sun-drenched landscapes of Sicily or the lush tropical serenity of Thailand.

One of the brands behind the show’s impeccable wardrobe is Tombolo, a label known for its distinctive take on vacation-ready attire. Per WWD, The White Lotus costume designer Alex Bovaird collaborated with the brand to craft exclusive looks for the Thailand-set season, including an especially striking piece seen in the latest episode, Hide or Seek.

Sam Nivola, portraying Lochlan Ratliff, is seen wearing an off-white button-down adorned with blue floral motifs and whimsical alligator icons—an eye-catching cabana shirt that captures the essence of leisure with a playful sophistication. Meanwhile, Lalisa Manobal donned a variation of a Tombolo design, custom-made for the resort staff uniform, adding another layer of bespoke charm to the show’s aesthetic.

Though this particular “reptile dysfunction” cabana shirt isn’t available at Nordstrom just yet, Tombolo’s latest collection features equally refined styles, perfect for your next sun-soaked retreat.

For the gentleman in pursuit of effortless vacation elegance, this is one brand to keep on your radar.
