The Best Designer Resort Wear for Women
Picking the best designer resort wear will often come down to understanding the dress code at the resort that we are planning on staying at. Some resorts have a dressier atmosphere than others. This means we must make sure we research what others tend to wear at the resort we are heading to. We would hate being under or overdressed and feel uncomfortable or unable to enjoy ourselves. It is also critical we consider what types of activities we are likely to be doing. If we are planning on lots of hikes, we will need to bring different outfits than if we are going to spend all our time on the beach.
Why Does the Dress Code Matter at a Resort?
Beyond how we appear in social media postings and personal images, how we and other vacation guests dress creates an invaluable part of our experience. Stylish, appropriate clothing communicates an image and a feeling. Part of what makes a place, such as a restaurant, feel exclusive and as if our ordinary dinner is a special occasion. It’s also what makes us feel carefree at a beach bar or like we’re shopping like a fashionista on vacation. When we dress appropriately for our surroundings, we become confident, happy, calm, and at ease—the goal of every excellent vacation. Understanding the dress code is our cheat code for feeling comfortable
Resort Casual
The styles found in a resort’s casual or informal environment are comparable to those found in popular breakfast and lunch venues. Swimsuit coverups, jeans, capris, and shorts can be worn with a t-shirt or polo. Tennis shoes, sneakers, and sandals are all appropriate footwear options. With this flexible dress code, we can even wear flip flops. When traveling to a resort with a casual dress code, it may make sense to come up with a simplified outfit, or a basic outfit that we will wear every day. This will enable us to not have to worry as much about what to bring.
Resort Evening Wear
Dress codes at some resorts are more formal than resort casual. When going out at night to go to dinner or to enjoy entertainment at some resorts, we will need to dress slightly more formally. Women can wear resort dresses or a blouse with stylish jeans, slacks, or a skirt. We should avoid wearing flip flops and instead opt for stylish sandals or close-toed shoes.
Elegant Casual
Elegant casual, often known as “casual elegance,” is similar to how we would dress at a country club or fancy restaurant. Women can wear skirts or slacks with a cute top or dress. Dressy shoes are preferable, though dress sandals can still be worn.
Formal Resort Attire
Formal dress codes at resorts are more lax than other formal dress codes. They are closer to what we would wear to a cocktail party and are frequently chosen for weddings and other special occasions. A variety of designs are suitable, from full-length gowns and dresses to a gorgeous pantsuit or skirt with a fashionable blouse. All clothing should be complemented by a stylish pair of flats or heels.
Choosing Resort Outfits Based on Activities
Once we have picked out our outfits, it is time to make sure we have the best time we can at the resort. This often comes down to making sure we are not overplanning our trips. We set ourselves up for vacation disasters if we plan every minute of our vacation. Instead, we should develop a general plan to help us fill our time. We should then play it by ear, completing tasks that we want to accomplish at the time and moving on when we are ready. This prevents us from rushing between things without fully immersing ourselves in them and keeps us from continually monitoring the time.
Packing for Theme Nights at a Resort
When packing it is important to remember that some resorts will host a themed night. We should make sure we have an outfit ready for such occasions. When heading to Lula, Hawaiian attire is always a good idea. This might include muumuu dresses, skirts, leis, aloha shirts, shorts, and flip-flops. Other possible themes could include a toga party or a decade theme. Dressing up and enjoying a themed night out is always lots of fun.
