The White Lotus might be over, but there's a new show all about wealth and power that everyone's talking about right now—Sirens. The Netflix series follows sisters Simone and Devon DeWitt, as Simone is drawn into the glamorous world of a wealthy Port Haven family while Devon questions what's really going on. And it's not just the twisty plot that has viewers hooked—the fashion is just as captivating. The looks are totally what you'd expect of a show set on a Nantucket-esque island (the fictional Port Haven)—think perfectly preppy outfits like colorful Lilly Pulitzer dresses ($188) and pieces that easily embody this year's fisherman aesthetic trend like classic Breton tees ($128). Below, find eight styles to make you feel like you stepped right off the set. Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Courtesy of Netflix Lily Pulitzer If you adored the bold pink dress Simone (Milly Alcock) donned in episode one, you're gonna want to grab this one that has a super similar style while it's still in stock. The dress is made from a breezy, 100 percent linen fabric that will feel light in the summer heat and it comes in a bunch of different colors and patterns. So when you fall in love with it like other reviewers who call it a "closet staple" have, you can pick it up in a second style. $188 at Lilly PUlitzer Speaking of staples, linen shorts are a must-have for any coastal-inspired wardrobe, and you can grab this pair from for $30 off right now. The stretchy waistband is sure to keep you comfy while you wear them from brunch to the beach and they're machine-washable, too, so you can wear them over and over this sumer. $70; $40 at Tuckernuck From the crochet material to the crisp white trim, this top is preppy perfection. The body of the shirt is lined so you don't have to stress over it being see-through or finding the perfect layer to wear underneath. Not to mention, the boxy fit is ideal to keep you cool and, according to reviewers, it fits true-to-size. $148 at Tuckernuck H&M This breezy sundress *belongs* near the beach, and at just $40, how can you resist? The seashell pattern is totally on-trend, too, (although it does come in two other tropical prints if you prefer) and the ties on the straps will allow you to easily adjust how high or low the neckline sits—could it get any better?! $40 at H&M Gorjana While Simone's exact Nantucket necklace will easily set you back more than $1,000, this bold heart necklace from Gorjana is a fab (and much more attainable) alternative to the necklace Devon (Meghann Fahy) dons throughout the show. But don't worry, shoppers say this one still looks way more expensive than it is. "This is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry from Gorjana!! This necklace looks and feels like a much more expensive piece of jewelry," said one reviewer. Plus, you can easily switch out the heart charm to another design if you want, or add on any extras to mix it up. $153 at Gorjana Vineyard Vines The cotton/modal blend fabric of this printed Vineyard Vines top that could easily be seen on anyone visiting Port Haven is so soft that you'll want to wear it on repeat. It's available in a wide range of sizes from XXS to 3X and comes in both this pretty blue and a pink pattern that I think Simone would just adore. BTW, if you want to make it a whole outfit, you can pair it with this matching smocked skirt made from the same soft, light material. From $128; $52 at Vineyard Vines Free People Michaela/"Kiki" (Julianne Moore) is constantly donning light, flowy sets that look as comfortable as they do elegant, and this linen-blend one from Free People totally feels like something she'd be seen wearing. The straps are adjustable thanks to the tie-back design, and you have a bunch of colors to choose from—so go ahead and get one in your cart while you still can. $88 at Free People Buck Mason You simply can't build a preppy seaside wardrobe without a good Breton tee. I can confirm just how good Buck Mason's cotton shirts are, and this one's bound to be no exception—especially if you take reviewers' words for it. One shared, "This knit is outstanding. [It's] substantial but not bulky and [easily] sheds wrinkles (after I had the sleeves tucked and rolled the entire day). [It] would be great for travel use, work at home, lounge—whatever you need, this will do it." Well, I'm sold. $128 at Buck Mason These 23 'White Lotus'-Inspired Styles Will Have You *So* Ready for a Vacation PureWow's editors and writers have spent more than a decade shopping online, digging through sales and putting our home goods, beauty finds, wellness picks and more through the wringer—all to help you determine which are actually worth your hard-earned cash.

Here's where every outfit in Netflix's ‘Sirens' is from, worn by Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock and Julianne Moore
How did we spend our weekend? Binge watching Netflix's new TV show, Sirens, of course. The all-star cast includes Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock and Julianne Moore, but truly, it's the fashion throughout the five-part series that had us tuning in until the final episode. Talk about a dramatic ending! Don't worry – no spoilers here. The only info we'll be revealing is the deets on where you can get your hands on the exact outfits seen on screen. If you have yet to watch, the show is based on Molly Smith Metzler's 2011 play, Elemeno Pea, and follows Devon, a woman with more than a little baggage, as she attempts to reconnect with her troubled younger sister, Simone, in an effort to get her to leave her glamorous life and return home to Buffalo, New York. Located in a Nantucket-esque wealthy coastal town, the outfits by costume designer Caroline Duncan deserve their own subplot, IMO, providing relevant but unspoken context, speaking to each character's individual arc and revealing all-important clues. Below, all the info on the best Sirens outfits and where you can get the look. Let's not forget, Simone is trying desperately to carve out a new life for herself after escaping her tragic past, so it makes sense that she has fully adopted the same style as her new contemporaries in an attempt to ingratiate herself and fit in with the crowd. More than just a trend, the preppy patterned dresses worn by Simone and all those in the cult – we mean conservation charity group – signify the luxury and lifestyle associated with society's elite who can afford to vacation for 3 months of the year. This pink dress from the Lilly Pulitzer x Goop collection, released in 2019, is as preppy as they come. It's one of many Lilly Pulitzer designs featured in the show, along with similarly patterned designs. 'Simone's got to be obnoxious,' costume designer Caroline Duncan told Refinery29. 'It's like the dial is just turned up way too high. She's vibrating far too brightly, and she's trying way too hard to fit in. So everything about her feels extra, and she is in a hotter colour than everyone else in that world.' If Blair Waldorf taught us anything, it's that a headband is not optional, so naturally, Simone is repeatedly seen wearing one in the first few episodes. An Ashley McCormick mother-of-pearl cuff with seashell motifs nods to the coastal location, but it's her locket (with an identical necklace later gifted to Devon by Michaela) that provides the finishing touch while serving to identify the inner circle. As the episodes progress, so too do Simone's outfits. Sure, she's still wearing Lilly Pulitzer, but her shirt is a soft butter yellow. Paired with white linen shorts, there's a more relaxed feel to the ensemble, with Castañer cap-toe espadrilles worn on her feet and also a Jacquemus raffia bucket hat and white Miu Miu oval sunglasses at an early point in the episode. 'If you look closely, you can notice that there's such a journey within each character, within the costumes that they're wearing and the colours that they're wearing,' Milly Alcock, who portrays Simone, tells Town & Country. 'Simone goes from heels to flats, and it's symbolic of her being more grounded.' This journey is most evident in the final outfit we see Simone wear. Gone are the bright, brash prints and in their place is an asymmetric draped gown that's not quite silver, not quite blue. 'Blue very much felt like a moment, a marker for Simone feeling more in control. She starts to feel a little bit bolder and a step wiser,' says Duncan of the custom gown. It's a departure from what those around her are wearing and more in line with Michaela's aesthetic, as is her pin-straight hair worn down and around her face. Devon's head-to-toe black and stompy combat boots set her apart, and you better believe it's intentional. It's a look she returns to throughout the series, every time she leaves Cliff House. At the end of episode one, when she's banished from the property's grounds to a nearby hotel, all expenses paid for, we see Devon take advantage of the opportunity and buy a slinky crimson dress accessorised with a Jonathan Simkhai Birdget Oyster Shell bag and Christian Louboutin black peep-toe suede platform heels. The Francesca Miranda design featuring a custom monochrome red lining is sultry and sexy, standing out for all the right reasons. 'It felt like Devon would love that dress, because it's exoskeletal and it moves and it's bold. It moves so beautifully, and the colour is so defiant,' says Duncan. Plus, the Buffalo Bills (Devon's oft-referenced team) wear red, making it a nice tie-in to her pride around her roots. Of all the characters, Devon's style goes through the biggest evolution as she attempts to infiltrate and extract her sister from the cult. This includes donning her own Lilly Pulitzer frock complete with, you guessed it, Alice band and locket. 'Pulitzer is a great visual. It's so iconic, everyone understands,' Duncan told Vogue. Devon's Rodebjer yellow patterned summer dress feels like it falls somewhere between the two camps of her genuine self and new alter-ego. The relaxed, floaty maxi silhouette is less in keeping with the Stepford Wives, while the injection of colour aligns with the pretty colour palette of the town of Port Haven. Similarly, her choice of a brown striped Breton top and jeans in the final episode is one of the few IRL wearable outfits in the entire show. It's a normal outfit for a young woman that doesn't feel loaded with status or stigma. Despite leading the pack, Michaela – or Kiki, to the anointed – shuns the typical colourful, preppy attire favoured by her adoring followers. Instead, she favours a wardrobe consisting of loose, floaty silhouettes and neutral hues. 'Everyone else around Michaela is in this flutter of beautiful colour, and she's this visual pause,' says Duncan. 'Which, of course, means that she's the person you're looking at, at all times, in the room.' Most of Julianne Moore's costumes were custom-made by Caroline, like the ivory halterneck top made from vintage silk paired with coordinating flowing wide-leg trousers that Michaela wears in episode one. 'Our intent was to always have the audience questioning what the mythos surrounding her, and the lore of her, was,' says Duncan. 'I wanted her to feel like she was always floating and above the fracas of the real world.' Her clothes scream quiet luxury. She adds colour through her accessories, favouring statement jewels – like the Solange oversized necklace and earrings set worn with an Alexander McQueen strapless draped marigold gown by Michaela for the gala – and chunky gold pieces that add further elegance. When items were sourced and bought, it's no wonder they were from labels that nail this aesthetic, like The Row, Vince and this one-shoulder caftan gown by Halston. Her muted colour palette, including this linen Proenza Schouler top, also provides a contrast against Devon's black attire. As the two women battle for Simone's allegiance, their clothes visually state their opposition. 'It was very intentional that she not wear the colours of her posse,' Duncan explains. Cue a rewatch!
