All Aboard
Hey, sailor. From bold stripes to novelty bags, all things nautical are trending for the resort season. Get the look with an intarsia knit and maritime trousers. A white, navy, and red palette is key to nailing captain chic.

Eccentric Embellishments
Sequins, feathers, and studs – oh my! Take your vacay style to the next level with an embellished maxi. Intricate beading and cutout details? Yes and yes. Finish off your look with a mini bag (studs, mandatory). With this trend, more is more.

Rodeo Ready
It’s time to put the wild in wild, wild West. Think: Detailed embroidery. Dramatic silhouettes. Eye-catching hardware. Pair your tulle skirt with cowboy boots for a girly-meets-edgy vibe everyone will love. Complete the ensemble with a look-at-me hat that’s guaranteed to turn heads.

Bright Side
From printed dresses to super-saturated separates, the runways were full of rainbow hues. Try a minidress in a modern silhouette. Then, tone it down with booties to toughen up your electric look. Can you even vacay without some color?

Sharp & Tailored
Calling all minimalists: This one’s for you. Ditch the patterns and make a statement with razor-sharp tailoring, geometric extras, and menswear-inspired details. Get the look with a collegiate sweater and a classic A-line skirt. Accessorize with a colorblocked bag to add a graphic twist to your refined ensemble.
