We’re planning a kid-free trip at the end of this month aboard a Seabourn cruise through the Caribbean, and I’m fully leaning into the resort state of mind as I plan what to pack. When travel feels this special, I love letting color, craftsmanship, and a sense of ease guide my styling. Pieces that feel joyful, intentional, and worthy of the destination.
The dress I’m styling here is the Brenna Dress from Figue, a brand I’ve long admired for its globally inspired designs and commitment to artisan craftsmanship. Figue is woman-founded and known for partnering with skilled makers around the world, blending hand applied details, vibrant color stories, and silhouettes that feel effortless. Their pieces always feel like they have a story.
I paired the dress with this shell necklace from SC Collection, a woman-owned brand specializing in handmade jewelry inspired by the ocean and natural elements. Each piece feels organic and one-of-a-kind, adding that perfect finishing touch to your look. I love supporting brands that prioritize craftsmanship and thoughtful design — especially when the pieces instantly transport you to vacation mode.

Resort Wear Trends I’m Loving for 2026
Looking ahead to 2026, resort style is continuing to evolve in a way that feels both playful and refined. Here are the trends I’m gravitating toward most.
Vibrant, optimistic color – Think saturated corals, sun washed pinks, citrus tones, and tropical greens.
Artisan textures and details – embroidery, shells, beading, and hand-woven elements that feel collected over time.
Easy statement silhouettes – breezy maxi dresses, caftans, relaxed matching sets, and throw-on-and-go pieces that still photograph beautifully.
Elevated natural materials – linen, cotton voile, raffia, shell, and mother-of-pearl accents.
Jewelry that feels personal – layered necklaces, beach-inspired charms, and handmade pieces that add personality to simple outfits.
Resort dressing, to me, is about embracing color, comfort, and most importantly a sense of joy. Clothes that feel just as good at breakfast overlooking the water as they do at sunset cocktails. This edit is a roundup of the pieces I’m loving right now and would happily pack for any warm weather escape.
