The Little Black Book of Resortwear
For people who overpack on purpose.
Resortwear in 2026 isn't beach attire, it's a wardrobe with a passport, and the best of it treats a holiday like an occasion worth dressing for. This is the little black book we'd hand you if you asked. Start with the print maximalists. Agua by Agua Bendita brings hand-embellished exuberance, Alémais makes pattern that reads painted rather than printed, Farm Rio carries the tropics wherever you land, PatBO stitches Brazilian glamour into something modern, and RAT & BOA cuts the print-forward slip dress made to turn a head or two. For craft with heritage, Mercedes Salazar and Bamboleira turn Colombian artisanry into color you wear, Gissa Bicalho brings texture to a sea of sameness, Donde Esteban builds sustainability into the making, Azulu proves eco fabrics can still look expensive, and Anim earns its place on artisanal edge alone. Charo Ruiz Ibiza owns the intricate-lace-and-bohemia lane, Cala de la Cruz cuts the elegant cover-up, Enaguas does romantic and flowy without tipping into costume, and My Beachy Side keeps it relaxed enough to actually wear. Then the pieces that finish it: Castañer for the espadrille that started it all, Anni Lu and Chan Luu for handcrafted jewelry, and Cult Gaia for the architectural bag that photographs as well as it holds a spritz. At the design-led end, Jacquemus plays sophisticated against playful, Simon Miller commits to a strong silhouette, Cin Cin and Same cover statement and versatility, and Padova and Mirae push the detailing and the envelope. Pack like you know people.
