A Resort State of Mind

Resort wear is all about effortless elegance—pieces that look polished but feel relaxed, that transition seamlessly from poolside to cocktails.

The Foundation

Start with versatile basics in breathable fabrics: linen shirts, cotton dresses, lightweight pants. Choose a neutral color palette with one or two accent colors that work together.

The key is multi-functionality. That linen shirt dress works as a beach coverup, lunch outfit, and with sandals elevated for dinner. Pack pieces that can be styled multiple ways.

Elevate with Accessories

Resort style lives and dies by accessories. A great pair of sunglasses, statement earrings, a quality leather sandal, and a chic tote bag can transform simple separates into sophisticated looks.

Don't forget a lightweight scarf or shawl—it serves as a beach coverup, airplane blanket, and elegant dinner wrap.

Fabric Choices

Stick to natural, breathable fabrics: linen, cotton, silk. They pack well, resist wrinkles (or wear them gracefully), and keep you cool in warm climates. Avoid synthetics that trap heat and look cheap in resort settings.
