The White Lotus’ moodboard is style inspiration for a tropical summer vacation

Along with a healthy dose of suspense and thrill, the Emmy-winning dark comedy-drama, The White Lotus, serves us a good amount of vacation style inspiration in season 3. Set on picturesque islands of Koh Samui, our favourite characters are immersed in messy circumstances, but at least they don't like it.

The Ratliff family walks right out of what could be a Ralph Lauren's 90s photoshoot if Mr Ralph launched his brand in Thailand instead of the USA. Victoria wears sophisticated midi-dresses and kaftans throughout the season, opting for more sophisticated pieces adhering to her quintessential Southern country-club girl status, while her daughter, Piper, chooses boho-inspired resort wear pieces with plenty of soft pastels and demure florals, styled as per women of her social strata.

Chloe is the true embodiment of a wild party girl, and her wardrobe displays just that. With the mesh dress being one of the most unforgettable ones, plenty of colours and patterns make an appearance in her style. Aimee Lou Wood's Chelsea opts for easy silhouettes, carried with quiet confidence, making her wardrobe the most wearable. While Leslie Bibb's Kate chooses to lounge in a variety of halter tops and abstract-shaped attires, adding a touch of elegance to her casual vacationing.

True to her persona as a New York-based lawyer, Laurie (Carrie Coon) chooses satin gowns and linen pants complete with voguish accessories. And as for Jacelyn, flaunting her wealth and status takes precedence when it comes to styling herself. Flashy and glitzy styles along with logo-embellished bags are the key takeaways from her style files.

Her many looks on the show fall under the banner of loud luxury. Wearing statement pieces, from designer midi dresses to carrying bags from the biggest labels, leaving us with enough resort wear ideas to last us all summer long.

These Indian designers have similar collections which are set to help you curate your summer vacation wardrobe in similar pieces:

Verandah 

This luxury resortwear label by Anjali Patel Mehta made sparks internationally after Natasha Rothwell's Belinda Lindsey was spotted in a kaftaan by the label. The spa manager donned a blush striped kaftaan by India's first butterfly mark certified brand. Apart from Kaftaans, Verandha can be your go-to spot for midi dresses similar to those worn by Victoria, the matriarch of the Ratcliff family.

Saksha & Kinni 

Resort wear by Saaksha and Kinni features many similarities to the ones your favourite characters wear on the show. If Piper's boho-chic style or Jacelyn's larger-than-life closet is your summer inspiration, Saaksha & Kinni is the place for you. From dressy capes and kaftans to floral and colourful skirt sets, their collection screams White Lotus.
Shivan & Narresh 

Wrap around bikinis, fringed skirts, knit sets; Shivan and Narresh's resort wear style is fleshed out with choices for everyone. Their bright and bold prints are right out of the blonde trio's closet. While Laurie would love the satin dress collection, Kate would love their colour palette. Chloe would trade her maxi knit dress for their ivory open-knit dress.
Limerick 

Limerick by Abirr and Nanki showcases a masterclass when it comes to resort wear; their maxi dresses, kaftans, and co-ord sets are all full of designs and patterns, deeming them worthy to be called wearable art. If Chloe and Jacelyn are your resort wear muses, you are going to love their patterns and colours. If you loved the kaftans donned by characters such as Natasha and Victoria, check out their embroided kaftaans dresses for a treat.
