Tommy Bahama vs. Tropical Seas: Which Offers Better Sustainable Resort Wear?

Sustainable fashion often comes with a higher price tag, but at Tropical Seas Clothing, we believe that going green shouldn’t cost a fortune. Many luxury brands charge a premium for sustainable materials like recycled polyester, but we aim to make high-quality, eco-friendly clothing accessible to everyone.

Let’s take a look at how Tropical Seas Clothing compares to a popular brand like Tommy Bahama, known for their tropical-inspired apparel.

With Tropical Seas Clothing, you’re not only getting a great deal, but you’re also directly supporting ocean conservation. Every purchase you make helps remove 2 pounds of trash from our oceans through our partnership with 4ocean. We offer free shipping on all Hawaiian shirts and any US orders over $75, along with a rewards program that lets you keep saving with every order.

What’s even more mind-blowing? Per piece, it likely costs us almost ten times more to produce our clothing compared to larger brands like Tommy Bahama, and yet we’re still offering it to you at a much lower price. As a smaller, family-owned business, it’s more expensive for us to create these sustainable products, but we’re committed to making eco-friendly fashion accessible for everyone. Helping you save money while making a positive environmental impact is something we believe in deeply—even if it comes at a cost to us.

Now, what won’t you get from Tropical Seas Clothing? You won’t be overwhelmed with fancy, excessive packaging that you’re going to throw away five minutes after you open it. We skip the elaborate, wasteful boxing and stick to eco-conscious packaging that gets the job done with as little waste as possible—because let’s be honest, what really matters is the shirt you’ve been waiting for, not the box it came in!

At the end of the day, we have nothing but respect for Tommy Bahama. In fact, their timeless, tropical style has been part of our inspiration. They set a standard in the industry, and we admire their approach to fashion. But here at Tropical Seas Clothing, we’re taking that inspiration and combining it with a commitment to sustainability, affordability, and giving back to our oceans. Together, with your support, we’re working toward making a bigger impact—one Hawaiian shirt at a time.
