If you’re anything like me I’m sure you’re about sick of the cold weather and craving a warm weather vacation! Whether you’re on spring break looking for a little warm weather getaway, or looking for a little escape from everyday life – I’ve got you covered with resort ready vacation looks! I’ll help you navigate through all the essentials to buy and pack for your sun-soaked retreat, keeping it as minimal as possible for a perfectly curated capsule wardrobe that your suitcase (and wallet) will love!

Effortless elegance is the key to making a statement at any resort. Embrace the capsule wardrobe concept, allowing you to mix and match a handful of versatile pieces to create a myriad of stylish looks without the hassle of excessive packing.

1. Chic Swimwear Collection: Begin with a selection of chic swimwear – ditch your youthful styles and Walmart suits and opt for investing in sophisticated one-pieces, stylish bikinis, and elegant cover-ups that actually make you feel good. The resort experience often involves poolside lounging and beachfront cocktails, and the most important part of looking good is feeling good! Go with patterns and colors that reflect your personal style, whether that’s fun beachy prints, vibrant colors and prints or neutral and subtle styles – there are endless options out there.

2. Flowy Resort Dresses: You can never go wrong with a couple of flowy resort dresses, opt for neutral colors or sophisticated prints that effortlessly transition from daytime to night out. Think sophisticated vibrant prints, soft fabrics, and flattering silhouettes. These dresses will keep you cool and chic, perfect for resort life.

3. Resort-Worthy Footwear: A pair of comfortable yet stylish sandals is a resort essential – dolce vita, havaianas and fitflop are some of my faves for comfortable and cute footwear. From poolside relaxation to exploring the local scene, a versatile pair of sandals can take you from day to night seamlessly. Consider packing a pair of statement espadrilles or strappy sandals for added flair, and a pair of sneakers if you intend on working out (but no shame if you’re not!!).

4. Effortless Jumpsuits and Rompers: Jumpsuits and rompers are a stylish and easy option that doesn’t take much thought into styling. They are easy to pack, comfortable to wear, and effortlessly chic. Choose lightweight fabrics for maximum comfort under the sun.

5. Versatile Resort Sets

Look for matching sets that seamlessly transition from daytime pool lounging to evening activities. These sets might include breezy wide-leg pants paired with cropped tops or coordinated skirts and blouses. The idea is to offer travelers easy-to-style, chic ensembles that effortlessly take them from one resort experience to the next.

6. Statement Accessories

Elevate your resort looks with statement accessories – oversized hats, chic sunglasses, and bold jewelry. These finishing touches add a touch of sophistication to your outfits and help tie everything together, plus they are perfect for both sun protection and style.

7. Light Cover-ups

Make sure to pack light cover-ups such as kimono wraps or elegant shawls for breezy evenings or when transitioning from the pool to other resort amenities. These pieces add a layer of sophistication to your dresses and sleeveless tanks.

8. Versatile Bottoms

Opt for versatile and beachy bottoms like linen pants/trousers, stylish shorts or flowy skirts that can be paired with different tops. This allows for easy mixing and matching, giving you multiple outfit options with just a few pieces.

9. Resort-Ready Tops

Bring along a variety of resort-ready tops – think tanks, off-shoulder tops, and lightweight shirts. These pieces can be paired with your chosen bottoms for effortless and stylish ensembles.

10. Evening Attire

Pack a chic outfit for special evenings at the resort. A stylish dress or a coordinated set ensures you’re ready for a night of dining, dancing, or enjoying live entertainment. You can never go wrong with a cute tank and linen pant/trouser mix and dress it up with a heel and some statement jewelry!!

bonus: For those embracing the active side of resort life, include stylish activewear. Breathable leggings, moisture-wicking tops, and comfortable sneakers are perfect for yoga sessions, fitness classes, or outdoor adventures.
