Resort Wear for Now

Resort wear is a fun and vibrant clothing season that commonly is known as the “in-between” of fashion. Resort wear is sported during the transition of the Winter season to the Spring season; this time is when resort wear makes its claim to fame in fashion circles. In the high fashion haute couture world, resort wear is marked by bold prints, generous silhouettes, and vibrant colors that make your mouth water for that perfect summer get-a-way. Whether or not you are indeed going on that exciting vacation or can afford designer or not, resort wear is a fun transition season that should be taken full advantage of.
If you’re any bit like me, you can look at your closet during the transition season and realize that your options are either a neutral sweater or a bathing suit. Resort wear doesn’t have to mean cover-ups and flip flops. In fact, it shouldn’t!
You can create a resort season in your own wardrobe as expensively or as inexpensively, as bold or as subdued, as you need. One-piece jumpers are a perfect essential (like pictured to the right). Select one with fun colors or a bold print to liven up your wardrobe during a season that often has dreary weather, and separate the piece from your winter wardrobe.
Full length dresses with a halter or synched waist lengthen the body and create an effortless look. Kimonos are also a crucial resort piece. A kimono offers a free-flowing bodice with a splash of color and pattern while making a statement. Lastly, invest in fun, bold accessories. Pom-poms, embroidery, and velvet are making their mark on 2017/2018. There’s no better way to incorporate these than in a cool bag or fun shoes. Think full, free flowing, lightweight, fun, colorful, and experimental. Now is the time to think outside of the box and try new trends. Have fun!
