The Top Trends of the Resort 2017 Collections

Palm fronds, hibiscus, and parrots, oh my! Full-throttle tropical exuberance has never looked fresher. From Gucci’s bold fur intarsia poppies to the full-sleeved, lushly-embroidered styles to be found elsewhere, we can’t get enough of these subtle, decidedly modern nods to traditional dress, Ukrainian and beyond. Resort isn’t all florals and beachy hues; typically autumnal fabrics like plaid and natty tweeds find a whole new life for warmer weather. The offbeat, loosely sculptural flounces of the past couple of seasons are holding fast, turning up everywhere from full skirts to crop tops. Graphic content ahead: Trade in your garden-variety trousers for a pair with a bold stripe. You’ll feel longer, leaner, and infinitely more sportif in no time. Whether itty-bitty Swiss dots or generous spots the size of silver dollars, Resort’s print of choice has quirky charm to spare. These statement-making toppers are worth the splurge—they’re all it takes to transform even your simplest looks year-round. It’s not just for your Vans anymore: Bold checkerboard prints are poised to be just the jolt of cheek you didn’t know your wardrobe was missing. The only thing more fun than one killer print? A bevy of them, pieced together to make up the season’s must-have frocks. Crafty-cool crocheted styles have got just a touch of nostalgia (grandma’s afghan, anyone?), but in ruffled little dresses and side-slit tunics, feel decidedly 21st century. Easy-to-wear knits get amped up, thanks to the addition of athletic-looking graphic stripes.
