Bright Vachirawit may be one of the hottest actors in Thailand, with over 17 million followers on Instagram, but his style is surprisingly understated. The star of the Thai drama 2gether: The Series favours casual pieces like tees, jeans, and oversized button-down shirts, but he also knows how to pick a great, standout jacket to pull the whole outfit together. No surprises there, given that Bright is Burberry’s first brand ambassador from South Asia Pacific.
