Louis Vuitton SS27: Pharrell Brings a Giant Wave to Paris, and the Surf Dandy Looks You Can Borrow in Thai Heat

Look 001: an oversized black double-breasted suit with a drawstring waist, layered over a blue striped shirt and a white V-neck, worn with a cap embroidered with the LV logo, sneakers and a black-and-white checkerboard bag. This "suit + cap + sneakers" formula is repeated across the show. For Thailand, borrow only the cap and sneakers; the whole outfit looks heavy and layered.

Look 018: a loose grey blazer with frayed-hem denim shorts, a blue shirt, a snake-like patterned tie, tall striped socks, dark green sneakers, sunglasses and a cap. It is the "dandy on the sand" look closest to the concept, and the easiest to borrow in Thailand if you choose a lightweight blazer.

Look 024: a three-button teal blazer with a pale blue shirt, a beaded necklace, wide navy trousers, a cap, sneakers and a small monogram bag. The teal suits the wave backdrop and keeps the look clean. Wearable in Thailand if the fabric is light.

Look 053: a white blazer with fine stripes over a navy V-neck and a white shirt, wide white trousers, a blue-green cap and a pale blue monogram bag. It is the lightest-feeling set in the show and the best suited to hot weather among the tailored looks, though white risks sweat marks.

Look 035: a cream cardigan printed with green palm trees and small embellishments, a pale yellow collar, wide trousers with faint stripes, a grey cap, amber-lens sunglasses and a translucent surfboard. It tells the "surf" and "suit" story in one image, and it is the only look in this set where you can see a board. To borrow it in Thailand, move the palm print onto a short-sleeve shirt instead of a knit.

Look 038: a grey suit with a blurred stripe, over a white shirt with a black palm print, a dusty pink cap and a vivid yellow-orange monogram bag. The loud bag on an earth-toned suit gives the look rhythm. In Thailand, take the shirt and the wide trousers and drop the jacket.

Look 050: a cream cable-knit V-neck vest with pale yellow palm motifs and sequin-like sparkle, over a striped short-sleeve shirt, with light blue straight jeans, black round-toe shoes and a yellow-and-blue snake-like patterned bag. Sweet but not too sweet, since the plain jeans keep it wearable. The short-sleeve shirt and jeans work in Thailand; the knit vest is probably too hot.

Look 013: a long-sleeve white and light blue striped shirt with a collar, dark straight jeans with patches, black boots and a pastel pink duffle bag. Sailor stripes with patched denim feel simple but detailed. The shirt is borrowable; the jeans and boots will be hot.

Look 017: a four-pocket denim field jacket with a light brown collar and a drawstring waist, faded wide jeans, a navy denim cap and a brown monogram travel bag with multicoloured flowers. Double denim in a workwear spirit; best for the morning or an air-conditioned room.

Look 014: a glossy dark blue jacket with the words Louis Vuitton Paris over a navy pinstripe suit, a blue shirt, a burgundy cap embroidered with the monogram, black chunky-soled shoes and a small blue monogram bag with multicoloured flowers. This much layering doesn't suit Thailand as a full set; borrow only the cap and the bag.

Look 007: a glossy grey-purple bomber with shiny knit trim at the collar, cuffs and hem, over a white shirt with grey trousers, a waist chain, pale blue tinted glasses and a small black-and-white checkerboard bag. The shiny trim keeps the grey palette from going dull. A bomber is too hot for Thailand, so borrow the trousers and glasses.

Look 012: a white overshirt with silver buttons, wide beige trousers, a tan cap and orange sneakers, pushing a wide-wheeled trolley that carries a monogram trunk with gold corners. It tells the best story and is probably the image people will share, but the trunk is a set prop, not something you use. The white shirt and beige trousers are borrowable as they are.
