HBO
ICYMI, HBO's The White Lotus is finally back for a third season, which takes viewers to an opulent resort in Thailand this time around. As we eagerly await the show's weekly episode drops on Sunday nights, we can't help but obsess over the impeccable vacation style we've seen on its iconic characters, in both current and past seasons. No matter where the show's affluent guests are traveling, they've truly mastered the art of old-money resort style—and we can't help but use the looks as a cheat sheet for our own packing lists. Think: Ultra-chic woven hats, air-of-mystery maximalist sunglasses, and loose-fitting maxi dresses abound. Ahead, discover eight style essentials that The White Lotus characters wear on repeat, complete with product picks to recreate their looks.
Dramatic Sunglasses
Round, oversized sunglasses and printed frames are out to play (Parker Posey's character, Victoria Ratliff, is a standout in this department in season three). After years of capsule wardrobes and toned-down neutrals, the fashion pendulum is finally swinging back toward maximalism. Instead of all-out ‘80s opulence, though, consider this old-Hollywood-meets-Olsen-twins silhouette as the loudest take on quiet luxury, ready to accompany whatever outfit you please.

Woven Sun Hats
HBO
There’s something so effortlessly luxurious about a woven straw hat. A wide-brimmed version gives you maximum coverage against the sun (something that most White Lotus guests, including Connie Britton's Nicole Mossbacher, would certainly consider), while a trendy bucket version brings the fun. Pair it with an unstructured milkmaid dress for the unofficial resort uniform.

Vivid Swimwear
HBO
The new season of The White Lotus has barely gotten started, but there’s already a wealth of trend-forward inspiration to pull—especially when it comes to swimwear. Punchy, neon swimsuits are an excellent bet for your suitcase (seen here on Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea), whether you’re splashing in the water or simply advancing the plot poolside. A sleek cobalt hue gives a modern spin to a one-piece, while a red asymmetrical one-piece is always a classic.

Tailored Evening Pieces
HBO
Skip the dynamic, flowing slip dresses—this dinner dress code calls for something a bit more structured. Tailored pantsuits and dresses are an excellent formal option for any trip, but the White Lotus’ visitors lean towards something a touch more modern. Try switching up the print or opting for a cutout silhouette (as Harper, played by Aubrey Plaza, demonstrates) to keep things fresh.

Colorful Caftans
HBO
Tanya (played by the fabulous Jennifer Coolidge) doesn’t appear in the series’ third season, but we’d say that a fashion tribute is still in order. Her iconic "Peppa Pig" look comprising a free-flowing caftan and coordinating head scarf is among our favorites of hers, and (surprise!) it’s just as practical as it is stylish. Loose, lightweight fabric will keep you cool throughout steamy days at resorts from Palermo to Palm Beach.

Statement Bags
HBO
When in doubt, add a statement bag. From distinctive prints—like this poolside tote that Charlotte Le Bon's character, Chloe, wears in the third season—to kitschy beading, there’s lots of playful versatility to explore. To keep things luxury-minded, we’d recommend choosing a classic silhouette or weave that includes a handful of playful appliqués.

Quiet Luxury Jewelry
HBO
Quietly upscale jewelry is a timeless investment. Look for pieces that are well-constructed yet demure, with details approved by ultra-wealthy resort clientele like Alexandra Daddario's Rachel Patton. Thin bangles, structural studs, and simple chains are all primed for a little mix-and-match action.

Effortless Cover-Ups
HBO
Almost as iconic as Meghann Fahy's portrayal of Daphne Sullivan on season two, luxurious swim cover-ups are practically a supporting character on The White Lotus—which means you have ample inspiration for making the look your own. From structured mini options to loose robes in neutral shades, a sheer cover-up adds an effortlessly elegant layer to a poolside look. With careful styling, you could even incorporate these versatile pieces into your everyday rotation.
