The runway scene has been featuring Resort 2014 fashion wear and it has
led us to question, "What exactly is resort wear?" and "Why are they all
so different?"
According to our Google search, resort wear falls in between the winter
holiday and the spring seasons, where many people take vacation breaks
to somewhere warmer and tropical (i.e. Bahamas, Cancun, Hawaii, etc.)
That, of course, applying to those who can afford it. But what about
those who are stuck in the cold weather? Do you really expect us to
brace the frostbiting weather in skirts and light maxi dresses? NO.
So how can we apply the runway's resort wear phenomena into our own
personal styles? Apply it to our summer and early Fall wardrobes, of
course! Afterall, the collections are coming out, and the sun is too. So
lets get to it! Read through some of our favorite resort wear
collections and how you can apply each brands' styles into your own
outfit.
We see vertical panels with mixed fabrics in BCBG's Resort 2014 line. We
can't say we love it, but we definitely do not hate it. Especially that
studded floral moto jacket on the far left photo above. That would be a
must-have for the early fall season.
Oh, Karl, you have once again transformed the basic color palettes of
white, black, blue, and beige into something extraordinary while
maintaining Chanel's classic beauty. As you can see by the sheer number
of runway photos we mashed together, there were too many we liked to
whittle down into one simple image. We loved the whole collection
because it was so very Chanel-esque that we couldn't resist putting
almost everything up here! Massive amounts of pearls cascaded the
necklines of cream-white dresses, adorned the models small waists, and
rested on swinging wrists without looking too overdone or too
over-the-top. Simply put: It was classic Chanel. Somehow the line was
new while maintaining its traditional look all at the same time.
Chanel's Resort 2014 wear is the perfect example of how to maintain
classic chic femininity for when the weather starts cooling down...and
for how one can be class as fu...
Donna Karen Resort 2014
By far, Donna Karen Resort 2014 collection was our favorite. We love the
printed pants and how the line demonstrated the designer's
understanding of the way fabric flows, resulting in effortless chic
appeal. We fell in love with the off-white and navy blue halter dress
that mixed solid lines with the polka dots (far right bottom corner
picture). We loved that one in particular because it was interesting and
absolutely stunning. If only we got to see it in person (insert sad
face here)! Overall the line was the perfect mod, chic resort wear that
we can wear both inside and outside the city. The white cape dress (2nd
from the left, top row) is another stunning number that we can picture
ourselves wearing to a gala event in the city or to a nice dinner date
by the tropical beach. From the lavish capes, tulip-like skirt hems, and
asymmetrical balance, this line is yet another great example of how you
can alter this fall's wardrobe and give it a taste of spring/summer.
Moschino Cheap & Chic Resort 2014
Moschino showed their flower wild child side in their resort 2014
collection that looked as if it were targeted for high-end Coachella
attendees. Well, if you read our rant about the stereotypical trends of
Coachella here and here,
you'll be pleasantly surprised by what we have to say about Moschino.
Microdaisies, cotton candy tie dye, macramé lace, crochet maxi dresses,
and peace in clouds tunics gave away that the theme Moschino Cheap &
Chic was based on the hippie-loving 1960s. It was a collection that
demonstrated the brand's attempt to penetrate the music festival market
and did so in its usual high-fashion ways. We loved the free spirited
take on their resort wear that we would say is more summer appropriate.
Oscar de la Renta
Oscar de la Renta is known mostly for his gorgeous gowns that dress many
star-studded events along the red carpet, so there's no taming the
beast, even if it's supposed to be for resort wear. Although the
designer has attempted to incorporate his designs in casual wear, his
forte was and always will be in his gowns. However, his peplum topped
outfits were divine along with the prominent presence of floral prints
in this collection, giving off a spring/summer feel.
Versace Resort 2014
Edgy, abstract, black and white, and leather was apparently the theme
Versace went for in their resort wear that sided on the punk side, which
is not unusual for Versace. We fell in love with the monotonic abstract
prints pictured on the male and female paired models. However, it did
remind us of Zoo York, which we still love. We love the brand's use of
leather to demonstrate that resort wear does not always have to be
tropical-themed, and veered toward city street fashion that would be
great for the fall and winter. Especially that black trench coat with
double gold safety pin brooches. That brooch....we must have it now! Not
only is it a statement maker, but also a great conversation starter
especially at a holiday party.
What we loved more than Zac Posen's resort line was the fabulous model that made the clothes look that more
whimsical than a stoic model ever could. But besides the amazing model,
the clothes itself was perfect winter resort wear. Those lime yellow
pants, that metallic green moto jacket, that color palette, everything
about Zac Posen's resort line was just fabulous. The collection
demonstrates the perfect way to bring spring in after the cold winter,
and features heavier items that can shield you from the cold. We loved
the use of loafers as well, because who would want to walk through the
snow or the sand in stiletto heels? Overall, we loved Zac Zac Posen's
Resort 2014 collection, which gives a sneak peak into colors that may or
may not be hot the next year.
If you could take anything away from this post, it would be that resort
wear has no rules and that everyone would wear them whether they're away
on vacation or a staycation. Although the resort season dictates its
styles to be implemented during the winter/spring season, we urge you to
use runway fashion to influence how you dress in the now. But to sum
everything up in a nutshell, the Resort 2014 wear is about prints, mixed
fabrics, leather, flowy silhouettes, accented colors, and lots of
blacks, beiges, and whites.
