Billowy – the name given by Elio to one of Oliver’s shirts – symbolizes Elio’s desire to remember the time he spent with Oliver and to give it continued meaning in his life after Oliver leaves. In advance of Oliver leaving, Elio requests to keep the shirt himself so that he can wear it and smell it and continue to feel Oliver’s presence in his life even after he has gone.
