‘Loud Luxury’ Resortwear Inspired by Your Favorite White Lotus Characters

20 hours ago 1

Billowing caftans. Jaguar print polo-and-shorts sets. Slinky silk sarongs. Scene-stealing designer swimsuits. 

The outfits on HBO’s hit series The White Lotus speak volumes, telling us exactly who the characters are before they utter a word. The impeccable costuming is the work of costume designer Alex Boviard, who earned two out of her three Emmy nominations for the show’s two few seasons. 

According to Boviard, White Lotus fashion can best be described as “loud luxury” — a sort of flamboyant, aspirational style characterized by bright colors, bold prints, breezy silhouettes and high-end brands. This latest season, set on Koh Samui island in Thailand, takes the show’s signature high-end resort wear to new levels, abounding with status symbol bags, astronomically expensive jewelry and insider-beloved brands like Eres, Zimmermann and Tara Matthews.

Eager to emulate the impeccable loud luxury of The White Lotus fashion, but don’t have the wealthy vacationers’ unlimited budgets? We hunted down outfits inspired by the show’s flowy beachwear, exquisite designer dresses and show-stealing accessories — all for under $100. Ahead, we’ve shared affordable vacation outfits inspired by characters from The White Lotus, Season 3.
