A still from emily in paris.

For many of us, there’s only one question informing our summer holiday wardrobes this year. Are we more of a Chelsea, or a Chloe? (Or even a Jacqueline or a Victoria…) That’s because unless you’ve been living under a very large rock since the beginning of the year, you’ll have been aware of how incredible the fashion in the most recent season of The White Lotus has been—and how easy it is to recreate in your own wardrobe (whether you’re staying at the Four Seasons in Phuket or not).

Not since Carrie Bradshaw had us buying tutus and Fendi baguette bags in the early 2000s has there been such a plethora of get-the-look style features pegged to the small screen, with TV wardrobes influencing what we wear IRL more than ever.
