Introduction
In the heart of California’s high desert, where mid-century glamour meets modern minimalism, Palm Springs offers more than sun drenched getaways. It’s a cultural coda, style statement wrapped in architecture, art, and an Aperol Spritz by the pool. For men with an elevated taste in style, Palm Springs demands resort swim wear that is as bold as it is timeless. Riviera Bathers delivers just that.
Vintage Spirit, Modern Edge
Palm Springs fashion is a study in contrast: sharp lines and soft textures, bold prints and minimalist silhouettes. With the Riviera Bathers Spring | Summer 2025 collection, we channel that spirit into every stitch:
- Structured swim trunks in recognizable patterns and hues like Canyon Clay and Palm Olive Green
- Modern Tailored fit that recalls classic 1960s styling with modern quick drying textiles
- No mesh. No fluff. No imitations. Just clean lines and confident fit.
Think Paul Newman at the Racquet Club, but in the best looking, best fitting, fade-proof & quick dry swim shorts.
From Cabana to Cocktails
Your swim apparel shouldn’t stop at the pool’s edge. In Palm Springs, your trunks are the outfit. Here’s how to wear them all day:
- Morning: Pair with espadrilles and a crisp white linen collar shirt.
- Afternoon: Add vintage Vuarnet sunglasses and Happy Hour Hat by Riviera Bathers .
- Evening: Slip on a silk-blend resort shirt and suede loafers for dinner at Workshop Kitchen.
