With most of The White Lotus Season 3 filmed in Koh Samui, we’ve been glued to our screens every week – equal parts hooked on the drama and envious of the dreamy Thai setting. Between the pristine beaches, luxurious resort, and vacation wardrobes, it’s almost possible not to wish we were right there, cocktail in hand, as another scandal unfolds poolside at The White Lotus. So, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to round up the best resort wear brands to help you channel the look (because let’s face it, delulu is the solulu).
Marie France Van Damme
Founded in Hong Kong, Marie France Van Damme earned a global reputation for resort wear that feels just as at home on sun-kissed beaches as it does at candlelit dinners. Known for its caftans, luxurious silks, and embellishments, each piece is designed with the modern wanderlust in mind. The brand made a memorable cameo in The White Lotus Season 3 when Leslie Bibb’s character, Kate, donned the ‘Metallic Stripe Boubou Caftan.’ This jacquard silk beauty is the perfect representation of Eastern-inspired artistry and European style, making it the best choice for anyone who wants to feel like they just stepped out of a glamour-filled getaway – even if they’re only lounging at home.
Casablanca
If Casablanca were a person, they’d be the jet-setting country club member who’s somehow both laid-back and put together. Picture them sipping a cocktail by the pool in a tailored linen suit, with a subtle nod to tennis-inspired athleisure. Founded by Charaf Tajer, the brand marries 70s après-sport grace with pops of colour that echo his French-Moroccan heritage. Silk shirts, sharp tailoring, and breathable fabrics – designed for looking polished while you lounge, all with a subtle wink at old-money leisure and modern jet-set style.

Jim Thompson
When it comes to Thailand, Jim Thompson is practically a legend – and with ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 filming there, we couldn’t leave it out of our resort wear roundup. After all, it’s the brand that turned Thailand’s silk industry into a global sensation. Once recognised for its luxury silk textiles, Jim Thompson has expanded its range to create a perfect mix of heritage craftsmanship and modern design. One of its standout creations? AQUASILK – a silky-smooth fusion of nylon and silk that’s lightweight and cooling, just what you need when you’re lounging by the beach. Plus, with every AQUASILK swim trunk purchase, 6.67kg of plastic is removed from the ocean, thanks to their partnership with Seven Clean Seas.

Siamese Dreams
Phuket is as close to Koh Samui as you can get, and Siamese Dreams is the brand to match that White Lotus fantasy. Well-known for its luxury lounge and resort wear, this Phuket-based brand transforms everyday comfort to an art form. Its collections feature chic pyjama sets, breezy tunics, and stylish pieces all produced from high-quality natural fabrics. But it’s not just about the looks – Siamese Dreams is deeply involved in community, working with talented female artists to bring prints inspired by Thai mythology, cultural heritage, and breathtaking landscapes to life.
The Resort Co
Hailing from Stockholm, The Resort Co takes minimalist luxury to a whole new level – because sometimes, less really is more. With impeccable tailoring and premium textiles that practically speak for themselves, this brand is all about timeless style. The neutral palette of cream, olive, and earthy browns sets the stage for a laid-back vibe, while those subtle pops of turquoise and emerald are like a refreshing splash of colour, never too loud, just the right amount of fun. Designed to endure both in design and quality, The Resort Co ensures your wardrobe stays dapper for years – no ‘seasonal’ panic here!
Drôle de Monsieur
Drôle de Monsieur is rethinking resort wear with a gender-neutral approach. Forget the old-school rules – here, vintage sportswear meets contemporary finesse. Think tailored tracksuits, relaxed button-ups, and flowing silhouettes that feel just as at home on anyone, no matter their gender. Drawing inspiration from the glitzy 70s athletics scene and the street-savvy 90s vibe, this French label is all about versatile pieces that let you strut your stuff with unapologetic individuality. After all, why should style have any boundaries?
Agua Bendita
Without fail, Agua Bendita’s designs capture the spirit of a tropical escape, where intricate embroidery and bright prints take the limelight. Rooted in Colombian heritage, each piece of the brand’s handcrafted swimwear and resort wear tells a story, bringing ancestral textile techniques to life with every stitch. Beyond fashion, Agua Bendita provides fair work opportunities for talented female artisans, many of whom are stay-at-home mothers, empowering them through their artistry.
Ricochet
Made with care in Bangkok, Thailand, Ricochet creates high-quality linen pieces that perfectly suit the free-spirited vibe of resort life. Linen’s lightweight feel makes Ricochet’s designs the ideal choice for those sunny days spent lounging at places like the Four Seasons Koh Samui – where White Lotus Season 3 was filmed. As an eco-conscious brand, it’s committed to slow fashion, with each garment crafted to last and reflect a deep respect for nature.
