Innovative comfort and elevated style have always been at the forefront of what we do at Tommy Bahama. When we launched our Boracay® collection 10 years ago, it was quickly loved for its incredible softness, comfortable fit, and range of versatile colors.
“It’s the pant that goes with everything,” says Senior Vice President of Men’s Design, Dawn Brandl. And it didn’t take long for it to become a favorite style that people came back for again and again.
“When we set out to create the original Boracay chino, we wanted to give our guests the most comfortable pants they’ve ever put on,” says Men’s Design Director Darcy Luedke. “We wanted it to be something they can wear every single day, whether they’re in the office or on the golf course. That’s where it all started.”
And it seems our designers hit the mark. Across styles and fits, our Boracay pants received thousands of five-star reviews and are one of our bestsellers year after year.
A New Era of Comfort: Introducing the Boracay® Island Chino
At Tommy Bahama, we're constantly challenging ourselves to raise the bar—and after 10 years (and countless compliments!), we've updated the Boracay icon you love to be better than ever before.
Now crafted with more cotton and brushed for added softness, the Boracay Island Chinos have an even softer handfeel. Plus, the new twill weave makes for a more durable fabric, so your favorite pair looks better for longer.
“We work really closely with our mills and factories to get the best handfeel possible,” Darcy adds. “What sets our chino fabric apart is the stretch and recovery. Not a lot of chinos on the market have stretch, so we wanted to make sure it was just the right amount—comfortable all day, without getting stretched out.”
The best part? The new signature comfort-stretch waistband. Inspired by our performance wear, the new pants feature a hidden elastic waistband on the interior. It's designed to move with you all day long without ever feeling too snug, so you can go from an early morning tee time to family dinners in total comfort.
“It’s extremely versatile,” adds Dawn. “It keeps its shape and travels well. You can wear it on a plane and still look effortlessly polished by the time you get off.”
But we didn’t stop there. We added thoughtful details like a rubber grip on the interior waistband to help keep your shirt tucked in, so you can stay looking put-together without the extra fuss.
In a new range of versatile neutrals and sun-washed hues, getting dressed (up) is more effortless than ever. The pants’ timeless looks and classic straight-leg fit make them easy to pair with a button-down shirt for the office, a sweater for dinner parties, or even a T-shirt for relaxed weekends. When it comes to a day-to-day pair that you can wear anywhere, Boracay does it best.
Boracay for Every Day & Everyone
The Boracay collection isn’t all traditional chinos though—and it isn’t only menswear! It also includes other fan-favorites like the five-pocket pants and an array of both men’s and women’s shorts. In a variety of colors and prints, basic and embroidered styles, and a range of lengths, Boracay is for all.
Whether you’ve loved the collection since day one or are just about to try your first pair, we can’t wait to see how (and where) you wear it. Cheers to 10 years of everyone’s favorite Boracay—and many more.
