Resort Wear

Resort wear isn't a tough science. It's about dignity, fashion, and mix and match pieces. 

Let's start with don'ts - 

Do not wear cut off shorts or torn jeans
Do not go indoors anywhere without covering up swimsuit
Do not wear flip flops at indoors restaurants

Consider nautical, safari, or bohemian themes.

Items that should be packed - 

maxi dress, khaki or white slacks, thin cardigan or lightweight pantsuit jacket, tank tops, swimsuit coverup dress or top and bottom, sun hat, shorts with a 5" or longer inseam, evening dress - lightweight, low heels, walking shoes, sandals, flip flops for beach, canvas beach bag, clutch for night.

Choose 3 colors to mix and match solids and prints. My favorite is turquoise, white, khaki. 

Here's some great and tasteful ideas - 

coverup

cotton linen cargos

nautical vibe top 

hat

dress

If you're staying at a resort, make your wardrobe simple by using 2-3 colors and mix and match solids and patterns. Loose and flowing is good, maxi length sundresses, bermuda-length shorts, nice swimsuit coverups, and simple classy jewelry are ideal choices. Try not to be trashy with torn jeans, super short shorts, bikini top with shorts, worn out sneakers, or overly creepy long nails. 

Enjoy yourself and feel the great reward of a resort and get repaid for all you do all year!
