While London remains cloaked in cloying humidity, the rest of Europe is gearing up for a gloriously dry, sun-soaked summer.
With the promise of blissful beachside getaways comes the need to revamp the holiday wardrobe. Cue resortwear, the sub-genre of fashion that is solely geared towards warm-weather escapades, luxury sojourns, and upscale holidays.
This rather self-explanatory branch is a fun area of fashion to experiment with as the climate heats up. Think crisp, airy linens, Americana stripes, hippy-inspired crochet, kaleidoscopic colourways and breezy silhouettes that encapsulate off-duty summer vibes.
Luckily, we’ve been privy to some stellar Resort 2027 collections as of late, courtesy of fashion’s shining stars such as Matthieu Blazy. For Chanel’s latest runway collection offering, the visionary transported the audience to the sand-swathed beaches of Biarritz. 1920s swimcaps, rustling raffia skirts, XL striped beach bags, cotton canvas suiting and surf motif-printed polos paid homage to the maison’s coastal birthplace.
