Fashion: Resort Fashion 2013

Jetsetera - Beach Bunny

A resort vacation usually comes with all the trimmings—luxurious accommodations, delectable meals, oceanside breezes, and drinks by the pool. With such a combination of relaxation and glamour, you may as well look the part!

With the beach and the pool readily at hand, you are going to need a few designer swimsuits for your stay in paradise. Styles featuring bold and bright colors and prints will have you standing out from the crowd, whether you’re in the surf or sand. In addition, a classic solid-colored bikini with gold or silver hardware or embellishments is just what you need to create an ultra-glam look as you take in the sun with a cocktail in hand.

Jetsetera - The Collection

But while you’re not taking a dip in the water, a swimsuit cover-up is perfect for the day. Many resorts often require guests to wear a cover-up as they’re walking around the grounds. Think floral, flowing kaftans with billowy sleeves and a hint of sheer. For something simpler, think pareos or tunics, which you can easily slip on over your swimsuit. While you’re sightseeing during the day, coverage is key; loose linen pants or a pair of denim cutoffs paired with your go-to tank is perfect. Finally, a maxi dress is another great option, which can serve as your cover-up or evening attire!

Jetsetera - TKEES Sandals

In terms of footwear, flip-flops, sandals and wedge heels are ideal for tropical destinations. Think casual rubber thong flip-flops for the beach or pool. For dressier sandal styles during the day, think leather sandals with fun details. For nighttime, think wedges in both neutral colors or fun-in-the-sun prints.

Finally, a girl’s got to have her accessories, right? To accessorize your swimsuits, choose fun costume jewelry that you don’t mind being in the pool or ocean.  Think chunky beaded necklaces and bracelets paired with little stud or hoop earrings. For nighttime, opt for more elegant accessories in gold or silver, as well as a scarf or wrap to combat the cool ocean breeze. A hat is key for the sun’s super strong rays, and you can’t miss with an oversized floppy hat or straw fedora.  And whatever you do, don’t forget your sunglasses!

Wherever your resort destination may be, you’re guaranteed to look 100% resort-chic with these surefire style tips. Happy traveling!
