THE THIRD SEASON of HBO’s acclaimed murder mystery-meets-pretentious-rich-vacationers-who-nobody-likes series The White Lotus made its much-anticipated return recently, and, naturally, it’s got the people buzzing. With many reeling off of last season’s surprising, but also not really surprising death (no spoilers!), we look forward to a new grisly murder and, of course, a new venue. This year’s vacation from hell takes place in Thailand, at the now-infamous, eponymous White Lotus resort, where at least one certified d-bag is all but certain to meet their maker in what is essentially the worst way humanly imaginable. But at least they’ll look good doing it.
One of the leading candidates to meet their untimely, gruesome demise is tech-bro Saxon Ratliff, played by actor and son-of-an-icon Patrick Schwarzenegger, who has already become a fan-favorite with his spin on the show’s latest token affluent, off-putting member of White Lotus ensemble cast. His style has also been a hot topic of conversation, as Ratliff is typically seen wearing the garb of a frat-bro meets-retired pickleball instructor hybrid. It is, unfortunately, not all that inexpensive to match the style of Schwarzenegger’s character, but we can try our best. When it comes to swimwear, we found almost an exact dupe (just a different colorway, the ones Schwarzenegger wears are here at full price) to one of the pieces Saxon Ratliff himself wears in the first episode of the show—and it just happens to be on sale.
‘White Lotus’ Approved
Che Baller Swim Shorts
These Che Baller trunks from Reiss are on sale for $162—a steep departure from their typical $235 pricetag, and just over 30 percent off. They feature an elasticized waist and a mesh lining for extra support. And much like their White Lotus counterparts in a different color, they’re on the shorter side with a 4.5″ inseam. Still, the retro-inspired swim trunks are perfect for your next vacation. Whether you’re going to a similarly high-end resort in Thailand or just a quick weekend trip to the beach, you can’t go wrong with a high-end bathing suit like this.
Naturally, we also had to round up a few other White Lotus-adjacent styles to prepare you for your next big trip. Boat shoes from Mephisto, a linen shirt from Reiss, Fair Harbor x White Lotus collection pieces, and of course, obligatory Gucci shades help round out this list. If you think we left anything out, feel free to shout out your favorite alternative options in the comments.
