Style, set, action!
Curating a look for the summer season should always be fun, vibrant, and an invitation to adventure. But if fashion inspiration isn’t hitting you right now, you may want to take some stylish cues from the characters you see on film and TV. These characters aren’t just fashionable—they embody a mood, making summer dressing about more than just staying cool.
Ripley and Dickie
Despite its thriller genre, "The Talented Mr. Ripley" offers gents everywhere endless inspiration for laid-back yet suave looks—perfect for city strolls or coastal sailing. Dickie’s style screams old-school class with his sweater polo and white shorts. Ripley’s, on the other hand, is all about the timeless charm of wardrobe staples, from crisp button-downs to impeccably cut trousers.
We recommend: Perry Ellis’ striped short-sleeve woven camp shirt, casual short-sleeve shirt, and Vincent sneakers.
Saxon and Lochlan Ratliff
Across all three seasons, "The White Lotus" has flawlessly captured the essence of dream-worthy travel through its costume design. The looks are all about next-level prints and bold color pairings—a total opposite of quiet luxury. In season three, the Ratliff brothers, Saxon and Lochlan, upped the ante for men’s resort wear with their playful choices in tops and swim shorts.
We recommend: Original Penguin’s hibiscus scene print swim shorts, Ecovero tropical leaf print shirt, and Ecovero sun check print shirt.Pjo
Tashi Duncan
When it comes to sports luxe, one of the best references is the movie "Challengers." Its female lead, tennis player Tashi Duncan, demonstrates effortlessly chic style choices—thanks to the film’s costume designer, Jonathan Anderson. One of her most iconic looks is an all-white tennis ensemble, easily reinterpreted for the streets with just a few added accessories.
We recommend: Original Penguin’s Veronica dress, women’s color-block skort, and Veronica sleeveless polo.
