In Netflix’s People We Meet on Vacation, the love story isn’t the only thing worth swooning over—the wardrobe is, too. Bold colors, playful pieces, and laid-back beachwear help set the scene for Poppy and Alex’s slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance in this adaptation of Emily Henry’s beloved book. As the pair meet for annual trips over the span of a decade, Poppy (played by Emily Bader) proves she’s a packing pro with her collection of aspirational yet lived-in outfits.
Below, see every look from People We Meet on Vacation that’s worth shopping, pinning, or recreating for your next escape.
Who needs a first-class ticket when you look this good? The ribbed knit set, raffia tote, and gold hardware strike the ideal combo: comfortable enough for a long flight, yet chic enough for a straight-to-dinner look. To channel Poppy’s style, start with a neutral base and finish with one sharp accessory—preferably oversized headphones or a structured belt.
There’s nothing utilitarian about Poppy’s version of hiking gear. Her rust overalls and easy layering feel nostalgic, like something pieced together from old favorites. For your own off-duty adventure, trade the cargo pants for a pop of color.
Poppy’s soft-yellow mini captures that sweet spot between polished and relaxed. The matching headscarf and hoop earrings are a nod to ’70s Riviera style, while the airy silhouette keeps it modern. This is your reminder that monochrome dressing doesn’t have to be boring!
Under the striped umbrella, Poppy makes a case for keeping vacation dressing simple. A tonal palette and simple silhouette give her look a cinematic quality—because when it comes to resortwear, less really does say more.
Here, Poppy’s version of theme dressing includes sequins, a wig, and no shortage of sparkle—the holy trinity of a good night out. To get the look, trade subtlety for sparkle on your next late-night rendezvous.
In a sea of neutrals, Poppy’s red dress stands out. The fiery hue and revealing cutouts keep it modern, but not overdone. Sometimes, the color palette is everything.
Vacation dressing doesn’t get easier than this. Poppy’s green bikini and matching headscarf feel timeless under the sun. To recreate it, keep your accessories strong and your SPF stronger.
Poppy’s chartreuse slip dress proves that you can go simple and still make an entrance. Add strappy heels, a chic bag, and you’re set for your next night out at the resort.
