What to Wear to a Resort Vacation

Resort vacations are all about relaxing, exploring, and looking good while doing it. But what should you actually pack? We’re breaking it all down for you—from poolside fits to dinner glam to comfy travel outfits. Here’s your full style guide for looking amazing at any resort, no matter the location or vibe.

1. Arrival Day: Travel-Friendly & Cute

Comfort is key when you're heading to your resort, but you still want to look put together. Go for a stretchy two piece set or a relaxed maxi dress. Pair it with flat sandals, sunnies, and a straw tote to start the vacation mood early.

2. Poolside Perfection

You're going to need something that takes you from sunbathing to pool bar in style. Think flowy beach dresses, mesh cover-ups, or bold swim sets with a matching wrap skirt. Don’t forget your oversized sunglasses and a wide-brim hat.

3. Casual Days: Easy Looks for Exploring

For walking around the resort, grabbing coffee, or a quick lunch, lightweight fabrics are everything. Look for pastel vacation dresses, rompers, or comfy crop tops with breezy palazzo pants. Add some layered jewelry and flat sandals and you're good to go.

4. Resort Dinner & Night Glam

Evenings are where you can turn it up a notch. Bring a glam satin dress or a sparkly sequin mini for rooftop dinners or resort lounges. Gold hoops, wedges, and a glossy lip complete the look.

5. Island Adventures & Excursions

Planning a boat trip or desert escape? Pick an outfit that’s cute and functional. A strappy romper or high-waisted shorts with a crop top works well. If you’re stopping for pics, a light maxi dress with a slit looks perfect blowing in the breeze.

6. Brunches & Spa Days

Brunch by the beach? Spa day with the girls? Choose light colors and breathable fits. A sundress or soft bodycon in pastel tones makes it feel relaxed yet chic. Pair with low sandals and a small bag.

7. Weather-Ready Tips

Always check the weather! Tropical rain? Bring a thin trench or oversized shirt dress to throw on. Super hot? Stick with sleeveless, open-back styles and moisture-wicking fabric. A flowy resort dress is always a win.

8. Must-Have Accessories

• Straw bag or beach tote
• Statement earrings or gold hoops
• Slide sandals and neutral heels
• Sunglasses (go oversized!)
• Scarf or headband for beach hair
