Notes on Fashion:
Inspired by White Lotus:
Spring and Summer Vacation Outfits
All three seasons of White Lotus take place in a luxury beach resort. The outfits include kaftans, Hawaiian shirts, shorts, bathing suits, linen, sunglasses, jewelry, and casual footwear. Season three, which was filmed in Thailand, has all those things and more. Get inspired by the fashion seen in White Lotus to find your vacation outfits.
