The one that started it
I bought the first GentaLovers back in 2016 and I still pull them out every summer. The colours have faded into something I honestly like even more than new, nothing else in my drawer has aged this gracefully.
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → iconic, if you know you know. the octagonal print is such a clever nod and the cut actually flatters
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → Wore these on the boat in Porto Cervo and got asked about them three times before lunch.
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → Still my favourite
Eight summers in and the fabric still hasn't pilled, even the little drawstring tips have survived. They genuinely don't make swim shorts like this anymore.
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → Of all the GentaLovers I've owned, the 2020 edition is my pick. The lining is comfortable enough that I never chafe even after a full day by the pool.
Gentalovers III - 2020 Edition → Worth the wait
Ten years in and these might be the best pair yet, with that substantial retro feel to the fabric and a colour that really comes alive in the sun.
The Anniversary Swim Shorts → Bold and brilliant
The card-suit motif is so well done, and they feel premium the second you pull them on rather than the flimsy polyester you get everywhere else.
King of Aces Swimwear → Only knocking a star because I wish they'd bring this exact edition back. The newer ones are great, but this particular print is special to me.
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → A grail piece
If you get the name, you need these. The build quality is superb and the lining never bunches, which makes it one of my favourite Leopine drops ever.
Kelly's Nightmare → Sold out for a reason
Managed to grab a pair right before they vanished, and the print turned out bolder than the photos let on.
Gentalovers III - 2020 Edition → The glow is real
Only 25 made and somehow I got one. Under UV the lume print genuinely glows, which is ridiculous and brilliant and very on brand. A proper collector piece.
Lume & Late Nights UV Glow Jersey - Only 25 Units → The print is wild, and I mean that as the highest compliment. Cut is spot on and true to size.
Jungle Fever Swim Shorts → A heavyweight black tee that actually stays black after washing, with anniversary detailing that's subtle and tasteful.
LEOPINE 10th Anniversary Black T-Shirt → a proper conversation piece if you're into integrated bracelets, and the fit is true to size, maybe a touch generous
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → wore these all over Mykonos and they survived salt, sun and far too many spritzes, still look brand new
King of Aces Swimwear → This was the collab tee everyone wanted, and rightly so. The cotton is heavy and soft and the print still hasn't cracked after dozens of washes.
Leopine x Patekaholic T-Shirt → Heavyweight done right
Seriously well made, thick loopback with proper ribbing and no sagging anywhere. Worth hunting down secondhand if you missed it.
Sweater Ultimate Edition → Shipped to Dubai in three days and beautifully packed, and the shorts themselves are the best I own. I've already ordered another pair.
The Anniversary Swim Shorts → used the size recommender, ordered a medium and it fits perfectly. dries fast, doesn't ride up, very happy
The Anniversary Swim Shorts → The standout piece
A french terry cuban collar is such a good idea, dressy enough for dinner yet soft enough for the beach walk back, and the moonphase detail is gorgeous.
Moonphase French Terry Cuban Collar Shirt → the original is still the best, mine has travelled from Muscat to Marbella and back over the years and it just keeps ageing like a good watch
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → Third pair in my collection and somehow they keep getting better. Dries quick, sits well, and never once ridden up on me.
Gentalovers III - 2020 Edition → So much fun without ever tipping into costume territory, and the detailing rewards a closer look. Very Leopine.
The Pirates Swimwear → niche, hilarious and perfectly made, the watch crowd loses it when they spot these
Kelly's Nightmare → Such a joyful print. I took these to Sicily and they were perfect, light and quick to dry and just plain fun to wear.
Gentalovers Tutti Frutti → bought a pair, immediately bought a second, that's the review
The Anniversary Swim Shorts → Pit-lane energy
If you love motorsport these are a no-brainer, the print is detailed and the fit is excellent, true to size for me at L.
Racing Legend Swim Shorts → For the independents crowd
The tour-poster concept is so well done, full of the right nods for anyone who follows indie watchmaking, and it's a great print on heavy cotton.
Independents World Tour T-Shirt → Wears beautifully
The 18kt gold beads sit right alongside a watch without any scratching or clash, subtle enough that only the right people notice it.
Bracelet Series #1: 1976. 18kt Yellow Gold → Gorgeous, and I get compliments constantly. They run a little long on me at 5'9, but honestly that's on me.
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → Easily the best swim shorts I own, and that's after trying the pricey French ones, which have nothing on these for character.
King of Aces Swimwear → best swim shorts i've ever owned, full stop, and i'm still gutted they sold out before i could grab the matching tee
Jungle Fever Swim Shorts → Elegant and a bit cheeky, which is exactly the Leopine sweet spot, and the fabric feels properly expensive.
Royal Love Swim Shorts → The OG logo tee, full cotton with a proper weight that holds its shape wash after wash. Easily my most-worn shirt of the year.
Leopine T-Shirt → If you've ever stood in front of a museum case wishing you could just wear the watch, this beautifully printed tee is the closest thing to it.
For Exhibition Only T-Shirt → Those little metal drawstring tips make it feel far more premium than the price suggests.
The Anniversary Swim Shorts → Heavy cotton that survives both our laundry and our sun, and it arrived in Kuwait City beautifully packaged. The watch crowd here clocked it straight away.
LEOPINE 10th Anniversary Black T-Shirt → Great shirt. It fits true to the new relaxed cut, so I sized down one from my old Leopine size and it landed spot on.
LEOPINE 10th Anniversary Black T-Shirt → A terry polo is the move for summer and this one nails it, the ivory goes with everything and the fabric is properly plush.
Ivory Watchlover French Terry Polo → Genuinely a grail
The half-zip is heavy, soft and beautifully finished, the kind of sweatshirt you reach for every cool evening.
Grail Half-Zip Sweatshirt → Finally, a bracelet actually designed to live next to a watch, and there isn't a single scratch on my clasp. Brilliant idea.
Watch Friendly Stainless Steel Bracelet → the GOAT
Gentalovers I - 2016 Edition → really good quality, docked a star only because my size sold out so fast i nearly missed out entirely
Gentalovers III - 2020 Edition → Compliment magnet
I get stopped at every beach club, every single time. The fabric is substantial and dries fast, which is the thing that actually matters to me.
The Pirates Swimwear → Holiday staple
Took these to Tulum and didn't want to wear anything else the whole trip. They dry in minutes and there are no see-through issues at all.
Jungle Fever Swim Shorts → a proper collector's item now, I really wish I'd bought two
Leopine x Patekaholic T-Shirt → The fluor accents are what make it, a clean white tee with just enough of a wink, on really good cotton.
Newman White T-Shirt with Fluor Yellow Accents → unhinged in the best possible way, the jersey is good quality and the glow lasted the whole party
Lume & Late Nights UV Glow Jersey - Only 25 Units → Really lovely shorts, though they run ever so slightly long. I'm 174cm and went with the relaxed fit and have no regrets, just worth knowing.
The Anniversary Swim Shorts → best plain-ish black tee i own, thick cotton that drapes really well
LEOPINE 10th Anniversary Black T-Shirt → perfect for beach club season here, the fabric is light and dries fast in the heat, and shipping to riyadh was quick too
Summer Waves Swim Shorts → The wave print is so clean. I paired it with a navy polo and felt genuinely put together by the pool.
Summer Waves Swim Shorts → The Seaworld print might be my favourite GentaLovers in a while, playful but still grown-up.
Gentalovers Seaworld Vibes Swim Shorts → A clever chronograph theme that never gets loud, comfortable and fast-drying and brilliant for daily beach use.
Stop The Chrono Swim Shorts → the nicest summer shirt i've bought, I wore it to dinner in jeddah and got compliments all night, and the moonphase detail is a lovely touch
Moonphase French Terry Cuban Collar Shirt → Beautiful shirt. Cuban collars run boxy by nature, so size down if you want it closer to the body.
Moonphase French Terry Cuban Collar Shirt → The crown detail is gorgeous in silver, it stacks nicely with a watch and hasn't tarnished the way cheaper pieces do.
Crown Trifecta. Rhodium Plated Silver → Framed it immediately
Excellent canvas quality with a sharp print, it hangs above my watch desk now and just about everyone who visits comments on it.
Independents World Tour Canvas Art → Bought these for my brother, who is deep into watches, and he clocked the reference the second he opened the box.
Gentalovers III - 2020 Edition → a friend in Dubai showed me his and I had to have a pair, worth every dirham. the build quality is a level above anything I can find locally
King of Aces Swimwear → great shorts, great fabric. a hair long for me but i'm on the shorter side, most people will be fine
The Pirates Swimwear → Fantastic quality and the colours are even better in person. My only wish is that they'd restock.
Jungle Fever Swim Shorts → lovely pair, though the sizing runs slightly generous so i'd size down if you like them snug
Royal Love Swim Shorts → really nice and the colours pop, my only note is that i wish the pockets were a touch deeper
Gentalovers Tutti Frutti → warmest, coziest thing i own, and the fit is just right over a tee
Sweater Ultimate Edition → sold out fast and I can see why, it's one of the wittiest tees they've done
For Exhibition Only T-Shirt → best swim shorts i own, no contest
The Anniversary Swim Shorts → Anniversary done right
You can tell they cared about this one, lovely weight, lovely colours and lined properly. My summer pair is sorted.
The Anniversary Swim Shorts → Soft, heavy and the collar holds perfectly. New default.
LEOPINE 10th Anniversary Black T-Shirt → true to size with a great lining, no complaints, Leopine swim shorts are just the benchmark for me now
Summer Waves Swim Shorts → Worth it
Ordered to Doha and they turned up quicker than the local stores manage. Sharp print, spot-on fit, five stars from a serious motorsport fan.
Racing Legend Swim Shorts → so good, wore them across a track day weekend and they were just as perfect off the circuit
Racing Legend Swim Shorts → I lived in these all summer and there's no fading, no pilling, they still look brand new.
Gentalovers Seaworld Vibes Swim Shorts → Stripes never date, and these are done perfectly. The aqua is such a good summer colour.
Aqua Stripes Swim Shorts → I get compliments every time I wear it, and the fabric is the real star, so soft and substantial.
Moonphase French Terry Cuban Collar Shirt → really good polo, the towelling fabric is lovely, though it does pick up a little colour transfer from dark shorts so wash it separately first
Ivory Watchlover French Terry Polo → The sunset colourway is beautiful and it's on proper heavyweight cotton, a great everyday tee.
Sierra Sunset T-Shirt → The "naked" exposed-movement print is genuinely cool up close, and it's heavyweight enough to keep its shape.
"Naked" White T-Shirt → best half-zip i own, and i own a few, the fabric weight is just right
Grail Half-Zip Sweatshirt → Thick, warm and a brilliant fit, with an archive print on the back that's subtle and very well done.
Archives Hoodie → every watch nerd who sees it asks where it's from, which is rather the whole point
Independents World Tour T-Shirt → It sits perfectly next to the watch with no scratching at all, and it shipped to Doha with the gold beads exactly as pictured. Very happy.
Bracelet Series #1: 1976. 18kt Yellow Gold → lovely weight, and the cord is comfortable and adjustable, it pairs perfectly with a steel sports watch
Bracelet Series #1: 1976. 18kt Yellow Gold → The "U" link is such a clean design, and the gold plating has held up well through daily wear.
Leopine "U" Bracelet. Yellow Gold Plating → The colours are even prettier in person, and the gold beads lift it from holiday-casual to something I can wear all year.
Beaded Bracelet with Coral, Turquoise, White Seed Beads and 18kt Gold Beads → Love the design. My only regret is not ordering a second pair before they sold out.
King of Aces Swimwear → gifted these to my husband and he basically lived in them through August
The Pirates Swimwear → Wore them to a wedding pool party and three people asked where they were from. Had to break it to them that they're sold out.
Royal Love Swim Shorts → Excellent tee and it fits true. My only gripe is that it sold out in a day and never came back.
Leopine x Patekaholic T-Shirt → Soft, simple and exactly what a brand tee should be.
Leopine T-Shirt → my summer uniform two years running, sad they're gone and hoping for a comeback

LEOPINE 10th Anniversary Black T-Shirt → wore it to a GTG and got asked about it twice, understated but the people who know, know
LEOPINE 10th Anniversary Black T-Shirt → comfortable and quick drying, the colour is a touch more muted than on screen but honestly i prefer it that way
Summer Waves Swim Shorts → Great shorts and plenty of compliments, my one small gripe is that the pockets are a little shallow for a phone.
Racing Legend Swim Shorts → really nice pair and true to size, only wish the inner mesh was a touch softer
Gentalovers Seaworld Vibes Swim Shorts → my second order from Leopine and it never disappoints, shipping to Abu Dhabi was painless and the quality more than justifies the price

Popsicle o’Clock White T-Shirt → horology on a shirt done tastefully, which is rarer than it should be
"Naked" White T-Shirt → Surprisingly perfect for the cold malls and offices here, even in summer, and delivery to Riyadh was quick. Heavy, soft and beautifully made.

For Exhibition Only Canvas Art → Great shorts, knocking a star purely because I want them back in a Large.
Kelly's Nightmare → good honest tee, relaxed without being baggy. i'd happily buy another if they restock
Leopine T-Shirt → great shirt and it fits well, just bear in mind white shows everything, though that's white tees for you
