Trending Resort Fashion 2017

In packing my bag to spend ten days in Newport visiting friends, I’m wondering about resort fashion, evening wear as well as daywear, and what resort fashion actually is. Can you give me examples of how women in their 20s and 30s will be dressed.

Resort wear is designed to be worn from spring, throughout the summer and into fall. To get an idea of this season’s evening and daywear, go online to view designers such as Narisco Rodriguez to catch the feel for what classics are trending.

On the cooler side, checkout Rosie Assoulin, Valentino and Coach to see lots of ideas. You’ll find tea dresses, wide-legged slacks with tops that glide to the side. Think stripes in contrasting bands and pastel tartans, parrots and other tropical birds, palm trees, and flowers, and lots of sailboats. Madras and denim return perennially, decorated in more and more elaborately creative configurations.
