5 Looks to Try on Your Next Resort Vacation

Summer is my favorite season. The sun shines bright calling us out from cozy beds into the world of adventure. Travels plans beckon, attracting a few to misty hills or tropical islands. Exotic resort brochures are surfed, choices made and then the most important question arises for every girl- What Do I Pack?

Apart from the essentials, packing a smart wardrobe can make or break your trip. In fact, a lot of fashion journals & designers talk about “Resort wear” a clothing style also known as "Cruise Wear". Generally made from fabrics like organic cotton, poplin, Georgette that are lightweight, easy to pack & breathable, the clothes that fall under this line signify relaxation & displays a sense of style to the wearer. Basically, clothes that fuss free but look great in colors like yellow, minty greens, whites or other soothing colors for a vacation in hills, nautical prints for cruise vacations, classic Hawaiian prints for a beach vacation. Walking shorts, Flowy Caftans with flat sandals, Figure hugging tunics, Evening dresses with embellishments for women are a good choice as they will help you stay stylish from dawn to dusk. Pair these with large hats, over-sized sunglasses, comfortable shoes & minimal accessories to complete the look.

Though, lot is written about “Resort Wear” creating your own style, that is comfortable, stylish & innovative while keeping the basic guidelines in mind can be fun. Fashion Tourist shows you a few looks you can adapt during your next travel.

I recently traveled to Wayanad in Kerala a beautiful destination with misty rolling hills & stayed at a fantastic resort. Here is how I styled a few looks:


Casual Resort Wear:

Look 1- This look called for fuss free clothes like Georgette baggy pants paired with a casual sleeveless top accessorized with colorful bangles & flat belle flats. You can stroll around the resort comfortably in this look or enjoy some random activity.



Look 2- Next day, I paired walking shorts with a white summer top & a wide brimmed hat for a walk through the tea estates. Casual, comfortable, yet stylish this look was apt to sit by the poolside while reading a book too. The same look made my bamboo rafting trip comfortable yet stylish. For accessories, I stuck to beautiful earrings from Swarovski, to keep it simple.



Resort Semi Formal:


Look 3- For this look wear something that can take you through brunch till dinner. I wore a colorful Sundress & lounged by the poolside after brunch.



Look 4- In the evening, I paired palazzo pants with a simple red top, an envelop clutch, cocktail ring & heels for an early dinner.



Resort formal

Look 5- For a formal evening dinner on a Saturday night, I upped my game :) A sheer embellished tunic with exquisite work that looked elegant & accentuated my figure did the trick. I paired it with black leggings, diamante heels, dangling earrings & a chunky cocktail ring.
