Resort wear is a specialized clothing style, as well as a year-round fashion "season". Sometimes known as "cruise wear", it was originally marketed by "upscale" stores and collections only to very affluent customers who were expected to spend the post-Christmas/new Year's weeks in warm-weather climates.

What Resort Wear Includes

A resort collection is built as a system. At its centre is swimwear, with the cover-ups covered in the women's cover-up stores directory. Around it sit summer dresses — the core J.Laxson product in this directory — in styles that work at the beach, at lunch and, dressed up with jewellery, in the evening. Sarongs, wide-leg beach trousers, light knitwear for air-conditioned interiors and ship decks, sandals and a sun hat complete the standard list, and retailers such as Everything But Water merchandise exactly that system, down to the necklace and hat that finish an outfit. The design rules follow from the use: fabrics that do not crease in a suitcase, colours that mix and match so a small case makes many outfits, and silhouettes that are cool in heat and humidity rather than merely summery in colour.

Fabrics for Heat: Modal, Cotton and Linen

J.Laxson's dresses, described in its listing, show the premium end of resort fabric choice: 95 percent modal with 5 percent spandex — modal being a soft, luxurious cellulose fabric that drapes well, keeps its shape, resists shrinkage and fading, stays soft through washing and breathes in warm weather, while the spandex adds comfortable stretch. Cotton gauze and voile are the light, inexpensive classics, crumpling charmingly rather than disastrously. Linen is the coolest natural option and the most crease-prone, best in blended or slub weaves for travel. Modern swim and cover-up fabrics — nylon and spandex blends — dry in hours and pack to nothing. Whatever the fibre, resort fabrics are judged on three tests: how they pack, how fast they dry after a hand wash in a hotel sink, and whether they can be worn twice between washes without looking it. The stores in this directory select against exactly those tests.

Packing and Day-to-Evening Versatility

Resort dressing is a packing strategy as much as a style. The experienced approach is a colour story — two neutrals and one accent — so every top works with every bottom and dress, and one pair of sandals and one of evening shoes cover the case. Dresses earn their space by working twice: the classic summer dress in this directory's listings is designed to run errands and sit on a beach in the day, then take a necklace, different shoes and an evening bag at night, which is why resort lines favour classic, feminine styles over trend pieces that date by the next season. Buy resort wear ahead of the trip rather than at the destination where possible: resort collections land in stores in midwinter for the traditional season, and warm-climate residents — for whom, as J.Laxson notes, this is year-round clothing, not holiday wear — keep the category stocked in every month.
