Tracking The Trend: What Is Resort Wear?

You may have heard the term ‘resort wear’ used by designers and clothing shops alike. You receive an invite that states 'resort casual' as the dress code.  What is resort wear?  Should you swap out the 3-piece suit for a bathing suit and a wide-brimmed hat?  Is that what you should resort to when you can't figure out what to wear?   Friends and Family Circle is here to demystify the trend and keep you fashionable!

Resort wear is quite unique when you think about it. Initially directed towards a small pocket of people who could afford to whisk themselves away to warmer climates for the holidays, the fashion industry has now deemed 'resort wear' a "season".  What does that mean?  An official collection between the winter and spring seasons!
