Resort Wear 2017: Casual Day Wear

Last Updated on May 9, 2024 by Betsy Ramsey

Are you lucky enough to be heading somewhere warm this winter?  If so, it’s time to start thinking about resort wear.  In this 3-part series, we’ll be looking at casual day wear, swim and evening looks.  First up is casual day wear.  We’ve used a navy, sand and white color scheme throughout for better mix and match opportunities with the accessories.

Resort Shorts Look

Our first look pairs white side-button detail shorts with a chambray top and some brightly colored accessories.  It’s a look that will keep you cool but polished when out sightseeing.  If you’ve never tried colored sunnies before, try easing in with a deep blue pair.  They’re a bit easier to carry off than some lighter and brighter hues and this pair coordinates with all the outfits shown today.

  • Chambray One Shoulder Top
  • White House Black Market Maritime Coastal Stretch Shorts – 64
  • Splendid Eliza Platform Ankle Wrap Espadrille
  • Tory Burch 55 mm Sunglasses
  • Kate Spade Forever Stud Earrings (two of five great colors shown)
  • Tory Burch Collins Double Wrap Leather Strap Watch
  • Clare V Madras Pouch
