SHOP: The best Love Island Season 11 men's shirts

Indeed, alongside the gorgeous Love Island bikinis, we were often blown away by the copious amount of sexy men's shirts worn on the show.

As you would've noticed, we've also included some pre-loved options above - in celebration of Love Island's official fashion partner, eBay. You'll be pleased to know that there's even a Love Island hub on eBay, so you can shop looks inspired by your fave Islanders. Doing your bit for the planet couldn't be easier.

Where do Love Island boys get their clothes from?

Whereas in previous years, the clothes provided to the boys and girls were from particular brands sponsoring the villa, such as I Saw It First - now Love Island is sponsored by secondhand powerhouse eBay. A much more ethical decision made by ITV means not only are the Islanders wearing secondhand vintage items, but encouraging the viewers at home to go preloved too. eBay has a stylist team that sources exciting vintage pieces, for both sexes and places them in the villa wardrobes ready to wear.

Do they supply the clothes on Love Island?

The Love Island team, in collaboration with eBay, do provide the clothes worn on the show, but only 50% of the outfits you see worn are actually eBay-supplied. The other 50% is clothing that the Islanders have bought in themselves with their suitcase. Furthermore, if an Islander is a clothing ambassador for a brand, such as Toby Aromolaran for boohooMAN, then they'll be rocking a lot of that brand as part of their contract.

Are Love Islanders wearing eBay clothes?

They indeed are wearing eBay clothes, as part of ITV's mission to promote more sustainable shopping, in contrast to previous collaborations with fast fashion brands. The boys in particular pass these eBay items around frequently, so you'll see multiple men wearing the same shirt or jacket on different nights. For example, the infamous customised Stussy Jacket thrown off by Tom Clare during season nine (a move compared to the likes of Tory Bolton in High School Musical) was worn subsequently by Medhi in season ten. We love seeing how each Islander wears these one-of-a-kind vintage pieces.

What happens to the clothes on Love Island?

Unfortunately, unless an Islander manages to steal a piece in their suitcase before heading home, all the eBay clothing is kept in-house and not owned by the individuals in the villa. Near the end of every series, since the eBay sponsorship began (starting season eight), eBay and pre-loved seller Reskinned run a charity auction for the best vintage pieces worn by the Islanders on that particular series. Viewers bid on the site and the highest bidder gets to take home the actual item worn on the show. All proceeds go towards the charity Oxfam.

Do Love Islanders only get one suitcase?

The rumours are true - Islanders are only allowed to bring in one suitcase during their stay. Interestingly though, as revealed by Shaughna Phillips (season seven royalty) to OK! Magazine, when a contestant leaves the villa they don't pack all of their items, as they only have 15 to 20 minutes to exit. "You basically just pack things you definitely don’t want to lose and then overnight stuff, pyjamas, makeup, things like that...Your other stuff comes out a few days later and the people in the villa actually pack it for you - so hope that you’ve made good friends!”

Do they do washing in Love Island?

Lucky for the Islanders, they don't have to do any house chores and are relegated to lounging by the pool and causing drama only. The villa has a cleaner who turns up once a week and does laundry for the clothes and the bedding. Revealing the gossip to her TikTok audience, series five alum Amy Hart stated "You put your washing in a washing bag and it goes once a week, but we wouldn’t often give our clothes to the washing...Amber's bikini (that being season five winner Amber Gill), had a beautiful embellished bikini that was all broken. Everything was the wrong colour. Anna (as in legend Anna Vakili - "Two days?!" Anna) sent off a really nice dress and it came back three sizes smaller, so we didn't tend to put things in the wash if we could get away with it." Oh dear. Let's hope the All Stars keep an eye that their boxer briefs aren't shrinking.
