Looking to step up from Dandy Del Mar Swimwear? These 7 brands share the aesthetic but bring elevated materials, construction and a higher price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
British label known for tailored men's swim shorts and resortwear, founded in 2007 and majority-owned by Chanel since 2018.
Why it's similar. French-terry towelling polos, knitted polos and tailored swim shorts in 4.5-inch and 6-inch inseams make the same poolside terry-and-trunk outfit.
What changes. Tailored and more expensive, with British luxury polish rather than vintage terry kitsch.
French luxury swimwear label known for printed men's swim shorts, matching father-and-son sets and resortwear, owned by G-III Apparel Group.
Why it's similar. Saint-Tropez printed swim shorts in the original Moorea cut, towelling polos and cotton terry Bermudas make the actual Riviera version of the look.
What changes. Pricier and print-heavy, with longer classic trunks and no camp-collar terry shirts.
Paris luxury label founded in 2018 by Charaf Tajer, known for hand-painted silk prints and leisure-luxury tailoring rooted in his French-Moroccan heritage.
Why it's similar. Monogram terry-jacquard towelling shirts with matching shorts and striped boucle polos give the retro tennis-club version of the terry set.
What changes. Luxury pricing, silk prints and logo jacquards rather than an affordable sun-faded holiday set.
