As a devoted fan of The White Lotus, I eagerly anticipated its return, not only for its captivating scenery (this time Thailand is the backdrop for the hit HBO series) and unique characters but especially for its impeccable costumes. As a fashion writer, I have paid close attention to every luxurious, tropical resort wear-inspired look, inspiring me to find similar styles at more accessible prices.

Embracing the show’s signature “loud luxury” aesthetic, this guide curates a collection of travel dresses that can be worn anywhere from a lavish stay at the Four Seasons in Phuket (where the series takes place) to a warm spring day in New York City. Ranging from bold, one-shoulder mini spring dresses to intricately detailed floral sundresses, these outfits start at $30 and will easily help you infuse a touch of that White Lotus luxury into your wardrobe. 

Banana Republic Midi Poplin Shirtdress 

Parker Posey’s character, Victoria Ratliff, dons an olive green poplin dress in the season three premiere episode that has since sold out. The Southern matriarch paired the oversized dress with a bright blue silk scarf tied over her shoulders, adding tropical flare to her preppy aesthetic. After searching the web for a similar yet affordable option, I found the Banana Republic Midi Poplin Shirt Dress. Mirroring the original in color and style, but featuring a longer length, this would be an excellent choice for spring travel and office wear. Plus, it’s currently being offered at a 50 percent discount, with an extra 20 percent at checkout.

Reformation Shyla Midi Dress

Another Posey-inspired outfit, the Reformation Shyla Midi Dress provides the same feminine, spring vibes the polka-dot one Victoria wore in season three. This dress can be for a brunch, bridal shower, date night, or of course, a travel outfit for a day of walking around Europe. The ruffle trim with the puff sleeves and sweetheart neckline are “chef’s kiss.”

Abercrombie & Fitch Sequin Tee Shift Mini Dress

In episode two, Michelle Monaghan’s character, Jaclyn Lemon, wears a Valentino T-shirt dress embellished with rainbow crystals. To emulate this glamorous look, the Abercrombie & Fitch Sequin Tee Shift Mini Dress offers a comparable style without the designer price tag. This dress features a similar length and T-shirt silhouette, adorned with sequins and an open back with a cross-back bar detail, making it perfect for parties or vacations.

ASTR the Label Maeve Floral Midi Dress

Inspired by the vibrant patterns worn by Belinda (season one vet Natasha Rothwell) and the trio of older women — Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie — the ASTR the Label Maeve Floral Midi Dress perfectly captures the spirit of a spring vacation. Its bright colors and floral design, combined with a flattering ruched bodice, make it an ideal choice for those seeking a fun and on-theme outfit.

Zesica Women’s One Shoulder Dress

In the premiere episode of season three, Kate, portrayed by Leslie Bibb, captivated viewers in a red one-shoulder mini dress. For a comparable look, consider the Zesica Women’s One Shoulder Dress. This dress offers the same chicness as Kate’s ensemble, as well as mirroring the style in the length, ruffles, and color. Shoppers have praised the Amazon dress’ flattering fit, versatility, and high-quality fabric. While it’s an excellent addition to your spring wardrobe, its adaptable design ensures it remains a staple throughout the year.

Chouyatou Women’s Striped Maxi Dress

Inspired by Victoria’s designer breakfast outfit in episode three, this A-line sundress is a must-have for your spring collection. Priced at $30, the dress screams spring with the blue and white stripes. Pair it with sneakers and a denim jacket for a casual look, or elevate the dress with heels and gold jewelry. For that fun-in-the-sun vacation feel, add a sunhat as Victoria did during her getaway.

More to Come Avi Maxi Dress

Chelsea, played by Aimee Lou Wood, showcases some of spring’s biggest trends throughout the season as the youngest member of the main cast. When we meet her, she’s wearing a crochet cut-out mini dress, currently available for pre-order at $314 on Revolve. For a more budget-friendly alternative, the Avi Maxi Dress offers a similar crochet design at $240 cheaper. This versatile piece transitions seamlessly from spring to summer and can be styled in numerous ways to suit various occasions. Plus, it’s more versatile than the dress Chelsea wears in the series since it shows less skin, so you’ll find numerous ways to wear it.
