Florals look different by the water than they do at a garden party. They get brighter, looser, sunnier — the kind of blooms that belong with bare feet and salt air. They show up embroidered on a caftan, covering a swimsuit, or crawling up a linen matching set.

I like to keep the styling light from there, leaning on pieces with natural texture to compliment the print or motif. A woven bag, a flat sandal, a piece of shell jewelry, an easy hair accessory.

It’s floral dressing with more freedom, made for sun-filled plans built around color, texture, and bare feet.

I’ve found myself naturally gravitating toward the glamour of 60s and 70s resort dressing, when vacation style felt more expressive and playful, tied to a more carefree way of getting dressed. Catching my eye are pieces with a retro twist that feels like a wink, not a full costume: Pucci-inspired prints and Etro-style paisleys, alongside crochet florals, boldly colored beads, and modular accessories. Together they channel that effortless allure in a way that feels nostalgic but still current, adding just enough character to make summer dressing more memorable.

Resort dressing comes alive through accessories. The colorful extras, the novelty details, like an nautical-themed clutch or an exaggerated shell earring. The things you want to pack on every vacation, and every weekend getaway after. Consider this the running list of resort accessories I keep coming back to.

Poolside Jellies – These citron jelly flip-flops have that glossy, nostalgic look I love for days by the pool. Easy to rinse and add a splash of color to any swimsuit.

Packable Shade – My go-to travel hat, because it folds flat without losing its shape. It works for the whole day, whether you’re by the pool, in town for lunch, or throwing it on with a sundress.

Catch of the Night – There’s a particular charm in carrying a fish-shaped bag to dinner. This Staud one feels cheeky and charming, like something you would find in a little boutique near the marina.

Day-to-Night Beads – My Jennifer Behr collaboration was designed with warm-weather dressing in mind. Colorful beads and a versatile shape let it carry from daytime layers to an open neckline at night.

Color Weave – A tote has to carry my whole day, and the best ones still feel like an outfit choice in their own right. The rainbow stripes, oversized shape, and under-$300 price point make this one especially good for summer. 

Shell Moment – These shell earrings have that oversized, sculptural look that instantly changes an outfit. They feel a little vintage, a little seaside, and exactly right with sun-kissed skin.

Headscarf Habit – I’ve been reaching for headscarves nonstop lately, and this animal print one earned a spot in the rotation right away. It carries that slightly glamorous, old-holiday feeling I’m longing for this summer.

Citrus Lenses – These orange sunglasses pack a punch of personality. The tinted lenses and rounded shape feel relaxed in that very specific ‘OOO’ way.

Little Fan Club – After Mexico, I fully understand carrying a fan in your beach bag. It adds a clever little flourish to any look that makes getting dressed for the heat feel instantly cooler.
