Resort 2018's Biggest Trends

Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, and Solace London are thinking big for resort with heavy, wide-legged denim reminiscent of refined JNCOS (hello, adolescence). According to top buyers skinny jeans are out and these looks really drive that home. 

If the golden age of jet travel appeals to your style sensibilities, you're in luck this resort season. Designers like Tibi and Stella McCartney are looking to the skies for their next It-bag: a rectangular, PanAm-inspired carryall. 

Fendi and No.21 opted for tube sock pairings, while Prada went athletic with compression-style socks to juxtapose its Belle Époque runway theme, proving the socks and heels trend is here to stay.

Tailored suits continue to rule the runway, with new iterations popping up finished in plaid. Look out for Glen plaid, checkered tweed, and more from brands like Louis Vuitton, Monse, and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Lace-up gladiator sandals are about to be back in a big way, thanks to the Ancient Greece trend we saw at Gucci and Chanel. The latter took the literal route showing goddess-like looks on models (hello Yasmin Wijnaldum), while the former opted for festival-friendly laurel leaf crowns. 

It's been a minute since we've paid attention to our belt game, but Altuzarra, Carolina Herrera, and Diane von Furstenberg are reminding us to step it up. With bold and chunky shapes and '80s-inspired chain belts, you'll be wrapped up in resort's most playful accessory trend. 

Gone are the days where thong sandals are crafted from uncomfortable plastic and intended for casual poolside dressing. Dior, Dion Lee, and Valentino are here to elevate the style in leather, feathers, and fur.
