Of all the 50 states, Hawaii is one of the most romantic getaways for a weekend away for two. Every island has its own unique appeal and sense of adventure. For a balanced mix of relaxation and activity, many opt for Maui’s shores. There’s a row of hotels that line the beach in Kaanapali, a go-to resort destination on the island.
Among the various oceanfront locations to choose from are the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa and Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club, which sit right on the sand. You can rent snorkeling gear, beach chairs, and other water activity equipment by the day and head straight out from your hotel room to the ocean nearby.
Another popular option is Kauai, nicknamed The Garden Isle. It’s an ideal destination for romantic honeymooners because of its lush surroundings, breathtaking views, and quieter atmosphere than the tourist-heavy Big Island. It’s full of serene beaches, waterfall hiking trails, and exciting excursions available for couples who want to spend time together. Favored weekend resorts are the quieter Koa Kea Hotel & Resort at Poipu Beach and the ultra-luxurious Princeville Resort Kauai.
You can’t go wrong when you’re in Hawaii. Most of the resorts on any of the islands have weekly luaus, pools, tiki bars, and other onsite accommodations and amenities to make your stay extra enjoyable.
Hawaii has year-round tropical temperatures, which can reach up to the high 90s and beyond in some months. It’s not the heat that will take your breath away though. It’s the humidity! You’ll feel like you’ve just walked into an actual rainforest whenever you step outside of your air-conditioned guest room. That means less is more when it comes to packing for Hawaii.
In addition to your favorite swimwear, you’ll want to pack a couple of beach cover ups, as well. The resort way of life means that many of the activities are available on property or within walking distance from where you’re staying. If not, then the activities involve time spent in the water or on a boat where cover ups come in handy. Short cover ups are chic and comfortable enough to wear during tropical temperatures and easy to pull on and off.
In addition to trendy swimwear and cover ups, you’ll want to pack beach sandals and also a pair of tennis shoes if you plan on hiking or biking during your time on the island. Also, for a celebration dinner or listening to live music in the evening, adding a few maxi resort dresses to your suitcase easily meets an evening resort wear dress code. They have the comfort of a cover up but let you dress up a little more to enjoy Hawaii’s nightlife.
To make the most of your packing list, the Ventana Ocean Pareo Skirt and Vanilla Ruffle Pareo Skirt doubles as cover ups during the day and can be adjusted to fit as tie-front dresses for the evening. With a few staple pieces, like these, you can easily create various resort outfit ideas.
When it comes to planning a memorable trip with your best group of girlfriends, there’s no place quite like Miami. Much like the weather in Hawaii, you can expect sky-high temperatures and humidity that lasts throughout the night. The steamy atmosphere and vibrant nightlife make it a perfect getaway to lounge by the beach, explore the unique Art Deco architecture, and dance the night away.
Since you can’t go far without being near the water, there are a slew of beachfront weekend getaway resorts to choose from depending on what’s on the itinerary for the girls trip. Fontainebleau remains one of Miami’s most popular beach resorts, sitting right along the famed Collins Avenue strip. Share one of their suites here for easy access to the beach, in addition to fine dining, pulsating nightlife, and cabana rentals to rest and recuperate from all the activities.
For a more low-key girls getaway, the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort (also located along Collins Ave.) has everything you need for a rejuvenating weekend with friends. Enjoy apartment-style accommodations and amenities with treatments for the mind, body, and spirit, including weekly fitness classes, a thermal experience, and a juice bar onsite. Schedule several spa treatments and then spend time by the oceanfront pools to soak it all in.
When it comes to a spa-fueled weekend, ideal for bachelorette parties or birthday celebrations, think swimwear with a sophisticated twist. Pack lightweight caftans to take you from the resort spa to the pool and from the pool to lunch. The Lola Amber Tunic is made of a deep burgundy fabric sprinkled with a fun polka dot pattern to make a fashionable statement, while still staying within resort casual dress code for hanging out at the property. Pair with neutral resort wear sandals and you have a tastefully sexy staple that will serve you well for the whole weekend.
For a classic look that is both sophisticated and stylish, the Black Malia Caftan is sheer, lightweight, and will help protect you from Miami’s harsh sun. Ideal daytime resort wear calls for sexy, yet tasteful coverage that’s effortlessly elegant. Also, don’t forget to pack a beach hat to wear during the day to help shield your skin and keep the vacation vibes going strong.
After you’ve been pampered and are fully blissed out, head to one of Miami’s many fine dining restaurants for dinner or take an evening boat cruise. Jumpsuits have quickly become a fashion staple and pieces like the Periwinkle Madi Jumpsuit are perfect for traveling. Also, you can never go wrong with a maxi dress like the Black Fran Long Dress. It's simple, chic and will look great when paired with ankle tie wedges. For occasions that are a little more dressy, the detailed fabric and scalloped hemlines of the White Cordon Midi Dress delivers a sophisticated look that makes a statement on its own.
A wardrobe for a weekend in the city should involve versatile classics and comfortable sneakers. Stick to a neutral color palette with pops of color and patterns through the use of scarves and bags.
City wear for places like San Francisco and Seattle should be easy and effortless, so try not to put too much thought into it. Rocking the classics and playing them up via your own unique flare will ensure you fit right in with the surrounding urban environment.
Outfits for a weekend corporate retreat can be fun to plan. Take the stress out of packing with these 3-day weekend getaway outfits for summer. They’ll help make packing a breeze! When a three-day getaway graces your travel agenda, planning a standout look for each day will ensure that your trip is just as stylish as it is enjoyable. Weekend getaway outfits for a resort or a beach destination can be following. Opt for easy tanks or cotton tops with wide leg pants, breezy swim cover-up for days by the water, and a gorgeous embroidered dress for the evening.
When your travels whisk you off to tropical and humid regions such as Miami or Cabo, clothing that is light and breathable is a must. Don’t be afraid to really play around with colors and patterns and make sure to bring along some fantastic sandals!
Beachside cities like Los Angeles and San Diego are all about a laid-back luxe aesthetic. Being near the beach means that apparel is kept on the breezier side, but that’s definitely not to say that the clothing remains casual.
Glamorous summer maxi dresses, airy yet chic blouses, stylish denim, and lightweight sweaters are a few promising staples one can choose to flaunt by the sea.
Wide brim hats, chic slide sandals, and oversized sunglasses in particular are great accessories to glam up these relaxed garments. Make sure to have an extra lightweight layer with you since coastal breezes can get pretty chilly (especially when the sun goes down!)
When it comes to party destinations like Las Vegas or Puerto Vallarta, keep things lightweight but bold. Make sure to have a killer accessory game, play around with colors, and have looks that will work for both casual daytime activities and a busy nightlife.
For evening apparel, rock metallic heels, a fabulous cocktail dress, and a glittery clutch to match the glitz of the evening.
For the day, a breezy jersey dress, cute yet comfortable walking shoes, and polarized sunglasses will ensure that you can shop, sightsee, and enjoy daytime activities without falling victim to the intense desert sun. And of course, don’t forget the sunscreen!
No summer trip is complete without some quality time lounging by the pool. Make sure to bring along a gorgeous poolside ensemble, including but not limited to: a pretty swimsuit, a breezy swimsuit coverup, and some accessories to flaunt once when you’re done swimming. Slip on a pair of glitzy sandals to polish off your look especially if you’re headed to a chic pool party.
While Hawaii is ideal for an extended weekend away for two and Miami is a central spot for a girls trip, each is interchangeable based on what you plan to do. These are only two of the numerous destinations that top the list if you’re looking for a weekend resort getaway for any sized group or situation.
San Diego, California also tops the list, thanks to its endless number of beaches and a variety of activities. It has everything from surfing, historical landmarks, and global cuisine available within its city limits. A stay at the Bahia Resort Hotel in Mission Beach or the Hotel Del Coronado provides a pathway directly to the sand, in addition to boardwalk biking, paddle boarding, beach umbrellas and loungers, and everything that would make a resort getaway complete.
On the other side of the country is the idyllic island of Nantucket off Cape Cod that’s also an ideal getaway for a holiday weekend or summer trip. Grab a group of friends and stay in one of the cottages at The Nantucket Hotel & Resort and benefit from the onsite heated swimming pool, hot tub, and spa, as well as free shuttle service to and from the beach and ferry. Spend time exploring the historic downtown and enjoy plenty of fresh seafood as part of this East Coast excursion.
Nights can get cooler in San Diego and Nantucket as opposed to Hawaii and Miami where weather stays warm. Cover ups and caftans work during the day but pack a few long dresses for evening wear.
Regardless of where you go, it always feels good to get a little bit dressed up when on vacation. It’s a time to break out the clothes you don’t have a chance to wear at home. Fortunately, resort wear is easily foldable without getting too wrinkled and can seamlessly fit into a weekend carry-on suitcase to jet set to your favorite beach destination.
Packing is the least of your worries when it comes to planning your next weekend vacation. The most difficult part is narrowing down where you want to go and getting everyone on board. Consider all the destinations from coast-to-coast and settle on the perfect place for you. Once you have a spot mapped out and a loose itinerary of things you want to do, all that’s left is filling your suitcase with resort wear that will last you for a few days of fun and adventure.
Life on the beach always seems much simpler than anywhere else in the world. And the attire matches the laid-back feeling of spending days with your toes in the sand and the sun on your face. It’s easy to take your look from resort casual to resort elegant attire with only a few pieces and accessories, which packs up nicely for the weekend.

Quick Tips for Creating Stylish Beachwear Outfits
Headed to the beach and need a little style inspiration? Here are 21 ideas for creating beautiful beachwear outfits that are chic, sexy, and easy to pull together.
The fun thing about swimwear is that there is a lot of variety, so it’s easy to create a poolside persona. Pick a theme like nautical, Old Hollywood, or in the case above, Tropical Getaway, and build on that. It’s the easiest way to look chic at the beach.
If your skin and hair are on the warm peaches and cream/golden side, then orange is going to be a perfect beachwear color for you. Not only will it play up your skin tone and make you look tanned, but orange is a playful, friendly color that communicates I want to have fun!
There are lots of cute breezy looking tunics that you can pull over your head to cover up, but there’s nothing as sexy as the classic sarong. Knot it at an angle on your hip to show off your curvy hips or create the illusion of them.
If you want something to up your glam game, a pair of oversized sunglasses, create instant star quality. These chic glasses are the perfect beach accessory because not only do the large lenses give great coverage from the sun, but they give you an air of mystery, and that’s chic.
One of the sexiest ways to shade your legs from the sun is with a semi-sheer coverup. This gorgeous black sun skirt is a gorgeous style statement with this glam black one piece and will keep them guessing.
One of the chicest styles of swimsuits on the beach is the classic maillot. This deep plunging style has a sophisticated air that is perfect for gals with wide hips who want more attention up top.
Palm leaf and tropical floral prints are the no-brainer answer to cute looking swimwear. Look for prints in unusual color combinations to look modern and trendy, like this turquoise, purple, lime green, and black mix.
With so many concerns about the environment, handmade inspired clothing is very popular at the moment, and that includes crochet. So if you are want to tweak your look to a more boho babe vibe, then just slip on a pretty white tunic shirt with a crafty crochet detailing. Looks stunning with this gorgeous blue one-piece!
If you always feel flatter than a pancake when you wear a swimsuit and want a little oomph, then a ruffled swimsuit will help make you look bustier. This darling ruffle swimsuit with the ruffled rim v-neck, adds bulk and right around your bust and makes it appear larger.
Got a little tummy that sticks out a bit? Try camouflaging this trouble spot with a few strategic frilly tiers. This floral ruffled tiered swimsuit, for example. A plunging v-neckline also helps to put the emphasis up top.
Do you have a short neck or narrow shoulders? A square neckline fixes that problem. The only time you should stay away is when you have a square face. A square neckline will emphasize it. Like the swimsuit, but not the neckline.
Just as a wrap top or dress drapes and shapes the body, so does a wrap swimsuit. You can’t go wrong with this classic style that works wonders to create an hourglass figure, even at the beach. This rust wrap swimsuit is a beauty!
Looking for a cheap and easy coverup idea, Grab your man’s old white button-up shirt, slip it on, roll up the sleeves, and turn up the collar. Voila! A sexy way to stay safe from the sun.
At the beach, it’s all about attitude, and a part of that includes choosing a beach hat with personality! Go for an oversize straw beach hat, a sporty bucket hat, or a chic straw Fedora. Express yourself! Black Palma swimsuit by miracle suit.
When a swimsuit drapes and gathers in certain spots, the effect is called ruching. Ruching helps soften and hide a problem area, which is why swimsuits with ruching across the tummy are in high demand. It camouflages those pesky trouble spots perfectly.
A great way to look alluring without letting it all hang out is a one-shoulder swimsuit. Not only do one-shoulder swimsuits look elegant, but they are pretty comfy too.
Wouldn’t it be great to lose a few years? Swimsuit with zippers spell sporty, and in case you didn’t know it, sporty is youthful!
When it doubt, you’ll always look ship-shape in a nautical-inspired beachwear outfit. You can’t go wrong with navy and white, a softer but just as slimming alternative to black.
Tie on one at the beach in a lovely lace-up swimsuit. This style of swimsuit is hot right now, and an excellent way to show some cleavage without revealing all.
A cheery swimsuit and a cute straw bag are all you need to look like a beachside babe. Leave the heavy purses at home and go for a natural tote like this with some playful detail like pompoms.
If your goal is sunning instead of swimming, then why not get a little dramatic in a gorgeous statement swimsuit like this one with the stunning portrait neckline? This sexy black number is slimming and oh, so chic.

What you should pack for a Summer Vacation

Luxury resort should be fun. The focus of your vacation should be having fun and enjoying your time doing the activities you love at the luxury resort . Our informative guide on what to wear at a resort is designed to simplify your packing process and give you some knowledge of luxury resort wear that you can carry with you for all of your future resort vacations. No matter where you are traveling, whether it is Luxury resorts Costa Rica, Luxury resort Caribbean, luxury resort Turks and Caicos, luxury resort Jamaica, or luxury resort Belize. Along the way, we will talk about the basics of resort dress code, and our top tips for how to dress at a tropical resort as well as a luxury resort so that you look and feel your best while falling within the parameters of luxury resort dress code.
Before we dive into the specifics of luxury resort clothing and dress code, first we want to walk you through what resort wear is- What is Resort Wear?
If you’re on the hunt for information about what to wear to a luxury resort vacation, you’ve most likely come across this term, but without any information about what resort wear is, it can be challenging to know how to interpret the information you are provided and why that information is important to know.
A Luxury resort is an upscale, high end resort hotel with extravagant finishes, interiors, service, great comfort and opulence. Think high quality everything. Resorts near me, resort near me
When you’re on a tropical vacation, we know you’ll want to be able to spend time in your favorite swimsuit lounging poolside looking stunning, soaking up all the sun on the beach, and out on the town seeing the sights. However, when you are at the luxury resort, you will have to be mindful of what type of dress code is in place and how that can shift during different times of the day and in different areas of the hotel. As you may already know, the hotel staff won’t want guests to be walking around in their bathing suits through the lobby. It’s always a good idea to wear shoes or sandals as well as a cover-up any time you are inside.
Resort wear is clothing designed to be worn on vacation at a resort, such as out to dinner at one of the restaurants in the hotel or to a bar on-site with friends.
Resort attire are the outfits you wear around the resort when you are not lounging by the pool. Swim coverup is what you wear over your swimsuit or once you are done with beach activities for the day and are ready to go out on the premises of the resort. For men, this can mean clothing like collared shirts, a nice pair of pants, boat shoes, and dress shoes and for women, it can be summer dresses, bright rompers, skirts, linen pants, tops, a lightweight sweater, and more. Knowing what types of resort attire is appropriate is dependent on the resort you will be going to and what types of activities you’ll be partaking in while you are on vacation.
When visiting a luxury resort for your vacation, you want to be able to enjoy all of the activities and experiences possible, including the amenities and activities offered on-site at the resort. Some resorts have specific guidelines on what their guests must be wearing to be able to visit certain restaurants or participate in certain activities. For you to maximize your fun on your resort vacation, we want to make sure you have a suitcase packed with all of the clothes you’ll need to be able to go anywhere in the resort that you want and enjoy your vacation as much as possible. We always recommend consulting with your resort in advance of your departure for your vacation to check and see if they have any specific guidelines on the dress code that you should be aware of. We will break down some of the common dress code terminologies you may hear in the response from your resort below and what each of those means for your packing process so that you can avoid worrying about whether you packed the right types of clothing and footwear for your vacation and start enjoying your trip!
When you think of a tropical vacation, the first thing that comes to mind is probably not the dress code at the resort, but thinking of this in advance can prevent stress and worry in the future or on your vacation. Once you know what the different resort dress codes are and what you are planning to do on your vacation, your packing process will be simple and you can focus on the more fun parts of preparing for your trip, like finding the perfect new bikini! Below we’ve broken down the basics of resort dress code to help you understand what different types of resort dress codes are and what types of clothing will fall within each category.
Now that you know the basics on different types of resort dress code and what types of clothing fall into each category, we wanted to introduce you to a few of our top tips for how to dress at a tropical resort to make your packing more efficient and keep you ready for any adventure.
Pack Versatile Options: One of the key strategies to be prepared for any resort dress code is packing items that are versatile and can be styled in a variety of ways to dress them up or down as needed. For example, a stylish yet comfortable, cotton dress can be dressed down for a day at the beach by pairing it with slip-on sandals, a pair of sunglasses, and a hat, but can also be dressed up for an evening out at dinner with friends by pairing it with a light jacket and a pair of fashionable flats. Thinking through the different ways you can mix and match what you pack will help guide different outfits to wear during your resort vacation and keep your bag lighter.4
Prioritize Comfort: Have you ever packed a bag full of clothes you think are going to be great only to arrive on your vacation and find that you don’t feel truly comfortable wearing many of the items you packed? Just because you are on a tropical vacation, don’t stray too far outside of the clothing and footwear that you will feel comfortable and confident wearing. We want to make sure you look and feel your best and can enjoy your time on vacation. We recommend trying on various outfits at home as you pack to make sure you feel confident wearing them on your vacation and they will function well for the activities you have planned.
Bring a Cute Cover Up: Beach cover ups are a tropical vacation must-have because they will give you effortless style and a way to cover up your swimsuit at the resort as you walk around the common areas, while also being versatile and stylish for a variety of other occasions. Bonus: They are also lightweight and won’t take up much space in your suitcase!5
Remember to Have Fun: Vacation is a time to have fun! You can incorporate more light, bright, fun patterns and styles into your wardrobe to accommodate your tropical vibes. Don’t get too caught up in dress codes and packing lists that you forget to have fun and embrace your opportunity to travel, explore, and enjoy. If you pack a suitcase full of clothes that you feel fun, flirty, and confident in and can wear for a variety of occasions, you’ll be set to have a great vacation at an amazing resort and make memories that you’ll cherish long after you’ve returned home.

I always told my friends I would work any job six months a year if I could travel the other six. Travel AND shop: my two favorite things. I saved all year in college to spend my summers backpacking in Europe, or my winter having Christmas alone in Africa.
I grew up in a small town in Ohio, in a close knit family of 4. My dad worked at General Motors and my mom is a special education aid. Upon graduating with honors as a Nurse I moved on from OSU to Charlotte, NC where after 11 months of cardiac care I was ready for retirement. Obviously it hadn’t taken long for me to realize the “real world” and I didn’t click. So I chose to create my own reality. I wanted to ride a camel & climb a mountain. It was as simple as that. I didn’t want to waste any time. I set off for India for a 3-month solo trip. I met the love of my life…in a bar, in southern India." Follow her on instagram to read about her travels and adventures.

According to Nathalie herself-" I’m French born, based in Paris, France and I travel around the world, as much as I can! I have always been passionate by “creating” in every way possible and also by discovering the world. So I started to really get into photography, to combine it with my passion for travels. And it continues to stem from my endless curiosity of exploring new countries, new landscapes and experiencing new cultures and activities. In 2013 I invested in my first DSLR camera. I learnt about photography and photographers. I also taught myself how to create imagery that I love! Now I use this knowledge to create unique travel, fashion & lifestyle content in hopes to inspire others.

Resort casual dress code for business may be confusing to some. What do you wear to an off-site company retreat at a center with both a conference center and hiking trails — and a dress code of “casual”?
For Resort Casual Mens Attire, when it comes to defining resort casual, men have it a little easier than women – or at least the rules are a little more clear for gentlemen. As long as you're wearing a collared shirt, nice pants made of linen or cotton, and closed-toe shoes that aren't full-on dress shoes, you're fine. Boat shoes and loafers work well, and some places don't mind nice tennis shoes as part of resort casual attire. In some venues, trendy jeans and upscale sandals are also acceptable.

Sometimes, what you shouldn't wear is as instructional as what you should. Ties and jackets aren't required, and in most venues, they'd look out of place. On the other side of things, athletic wear, tank tops, T-shirts and any shirt with a big logo are considered too casual for resort casual. Flip-flops are only allowed at the most relaxed venues or if you're planning to go back and forth to the beach.
In hot climates, dressy shorts are also acceptable. But avoid the temptation to wear board shorts, no matter how cool you think they look. Unless you're actively lounging around the pool or on your way to the beach, swim trunks of any sort are considered passé for resort casual.
Defining resort casual for women is a little harder, simply because ladies typically have more options to choose from. As a general rule, you can mimic the gentleman's dress code, wearing slacks and a nice top, as long as you skip tank tops or T-shirts; or opt for a breezy summer dress or a matching skirt/blouse combination. If you wear denim, it should be on the high-end, dressy side of the scale, and as long as they're made of nice fabric, you can probably even get away with capris.
The rules for footwear are a little more lax for ladies than for men; almost anything dressy works, including sandals. You should avoid flip-flops unless you're going to and from the beach or pool.
A lot of the "don't wear" options are the same for ladies as for the men: Skip evening gowns (the female equivalent to a suit jacket), athletic wear, tank tops and anything with a big logo on it. However, in the more relaxed venues – or if you're lingering near the beach or pool – women can sometimes get away with wearing a swimsuit coverup, as long as it's reasonably decorous. (Sorry, ladies – a bikini top and a sarong don't quite qualify.)

Long-distance travelers beware! Where you should be putting your resort casual clothing to work can vary a lot between climates and cultures.

Many resorts will publish their dress codes.

Resort casual is often lumped together with business casual or cruise wear, but there are things you can wear at a resort that wouldn't be appropriate for a casual business meeting, and cruise wear that you couldn't get away with at a resort. Although resort casual is the dress code on many cruise lines, there is a trend toward more relaxed cruise apparel. Check your cruise line's dress code specifically before packing to make sure resort casual dress is required. Resort wear is always appropriate at a country club, golf club or resort during the day, though you often need more formal attire for evening events.
Now knowing more of what resort casual dress code attire is, pack according to what your vacation will entail. If it's mostly days at the beach or spa only, then you may only need one or two nicer outfits for dinners or experiencing the nightlife. However, if it's an even mix of oceanfront activities and in-town events, you'll want to make sure you have the appropriate clothing to match the setting. Here are a few ideas for resort casual outfits that should simplify the packing process.
If you want to explore hiking trails near the beach or bike to different areas, you'll want athletic wear that provides easy movement. Wearing nice shorts and tennis shoes with a one-piece swimsuit may feel the most comfortable, but there are cover ups that work well for more athletic activities.
A button-down chemise, like the , is lightweight, breathable, and provides ample coverage on the legs and shoulders to help with sun protection. Even when the fabric is more transparent, when paired with one-piece swimwear, it keeps the look tastefully sexy to hit the mark for resort casual wear. The term "casual" doesn't have to mean sloppy or completely worn. You can achieve a polished resort wear look without too much effort involved.
Being on "vacation time" means there's no separation between spending time on the beach and when it's time to get more dressed up for dinner and drinks. If you need to get ready in a hurry or are stopping by a seaside spot for local cuisine, you'll want a look that works for both day and evening. A chic resort dress or classy blouse is your best bet to achieve a stylish look that's cool, classy, and versatile.
A Strapless Dress makes for an easy day-to-evening switch. The vibrant color and print is elegant, fun, and transitions easily from sunbathing on the beach to drinking cocktails at sunset. The flowy fabric feels good against the skin after a day spent in the sun. It's a modern spin on a simplified strapless look for evening wear.
When you can take your time to shower and change before heading out for the evening, the Black Short Dress makes a chic statement. The unique halter neckline means you don't even have to worry about accessorizing with a necklace- just throw on your favorite sandals and a pair of earrings to complete a look that'll be perfect for wherever the night takes you.
To complete your day-to-evening look, throw on a pair of Thong Sandals. These sexy sandals are perfect for the beach and a night out on the town, while also providing optimal comfort so you can walk all day. They were created to disappear the foot and elongate the legs, giving you a sexy yet sophisticated look.
Clever use of accessories can help dress up your Resort casual outfits, especially in the evenings. Instead of bringing your expensive jewelry, pick up inexpensive pieces to take to the resort. If you lose them or they get stolen, there will be little financial loss and less hurt and frustration. Casual beach wear accessories may include jewelry made of shell, or jewelry with nautical symbols like fish, shells, octopus, mermaids, etc. A large tote bag in bright color is always a good idea. Comfortable shoes are recommended for daytime, while evening attire might require heels or other dressy shoes. If you plan to exercise, pack a pair of sneakers. A bag or purse to carry items during your onshore excursions is a useful accessory.
For men - more formal sandals that cover most of the foot should be worn rather than flimsy flip-flops. More often than not loafers, dock shoes or top siders define the classic resort casual look. Low rider socks that provide comfort and absorb foot moisture are usually worn with these. Tennis shoes have become popular for comfort but have a nautical, preppy or designer style.
For women there are so many options. Always pack a comfortable pair of slip on shoes for all the walking. A few pairs of formal sandals, wedge heels or strappy sandals in a range of casual and formal for all you looks ranging from resort casual to resort formal.
Pack clothing that you can mix and match to create several outfits. This saves space in your bag and in the cabin. For example, choose a pair of slacks that works for both a casual daytime outfit and an evening outfit when paired with a dressy shirt. A sundress is another versatile option. Wear it with sandals for a casual daytime outfit. Add jewelry and change into heels for the evening. Some cruise ships offer laundry service or a laundromat so you can wash your clothes to wear more than once. Check on the laundry services and cost before you leave.

The designation of "semi-formal" has the advantage of flexibility for both men and women. Cocktail dresses with heels are standard for women, while men should opt for dress pants and collared shirts. Jeans are occasionally acceptable, but only if they are dark and without holes or other signs of wear. It may be helpful to think of a semi-formal dinner cruise as a somewhat relaxed version of a formal one.
Not quite dressy, but not too laid-back, resort casual strikes a useful balance between flip-flops and stilettos (women) and oxfords and tennis shoes (men). Resort casual is the realm of boat shoes and leather sandals and is often a gray area for would-be cruisers. For women, however, capris, sundresses and knee-length skirts are always acceptable, while men can't go wrong with khakis, golf shirts and button-ups. Take along a cardigan or an attractive pullover for cool sea breezes.
The dress code for warm-weather resorts and cruises might be unspoken, or guests may receive specific guidance on what to pack. Resort casual tends to be the norm for most tropical vacation destinations in the daytime, with some higher-end resorts upping the formality a touch in the evenings to “resort chic.” Feel free to use a tropical vacation as an opportunity to wear a flowing maxi dress or a shirt with a bold print that might not work as well at home.
What to wear at a resort can be easily deciphered. Most resorts and cruise ships have a “resort casual” or a “smart beach casual” dress code, if any dress code at all, in the daytime. Guests at hotels with a resort casual dress code should avoid wearing T-shirts with advertising or slogans on them and restrict athletic clothing to the gym. Otherwise, there's lots of flexibility in resort attire.
A bathing suit is perfectly fine for the beach. When walking around the resort, or, for daytime meals at resort restaurants, women should toss a dress-like cover-up over their swimwear. Men should wear a shirt, and, if their bathing suit is small, add a pair of shorts. Restaurants require shoes for health and safety reasons, and flip-flops meet the definition of resort casual during the day.
Swimwear with a beach cover-up is also fine for leaving the resort for water excursions. It’s exactly what to wear on the ride to a swim with whale sharks in La Paz or to snorkel in Grenada's Underwater Sculpture Park.
Resort casual means ditching the bathing suit for land-based excursions, though. For one thing, it’s likely too hot. Shorts and T-shirts are OK for shopping on the spice isle of Grenada or visiting the marketplace at Fisherman’s Village at Resorts World Bimini in the Bahamas. Dressing up a little, perhaps with a skirt or collared shirt, is welcome when you're exploring the capitals of the Caribbean islands, as many islanders tend to dress a touch more formally.
When packing resort casual wear for your holiday, remember to pack clothes that breathe, especially if you’re not used to the heat and humidity. Natural fibers like cotton and linen and loose-fitting clothing are best. People who wear tight-fitting clothing soon realize how sweaty they get in the heat while they explore Barbados, Honduras or Costa Rica.
Dressing resort casual in the evening usually means no jeans, running shoes or t-shirts (especially with ads or slogans). Fashion shorts might be OK (think Bermudas), but sportswear shorts are not. Some resorts may restrict access to their dinner restaurants or nightclubs if more casual clothing is worn.
Sometimes, evening dress codes are called “resort chic,” “elegant casual,” “party casual” or “casual chic.” There’s no need to wear a suit and tie or a sequined cocktail dress. Men will be comfortable and blend in when wearing trousers and a collared shirt and women in trousers, a skirt or dress.
While some cruise ships still have formal nights, other cruise lines are aiming for the casual elegance that many upscale guests prefer. Viking Cruises and Windstar, for example, have designated there voyages as resort casual. In the evenings, guests are requested not to wear shorts or jeans for most dining rooms.

The degree of casualness of a dress code labeled “resort casual” can vary depending on where you’re staying, both for the type of hotel and the destination.
Stays at family resorts, such as the Hilton Puerto Vallarta and Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa, tend to be more casual than resorts aimed at couples, such as the TRS Coral Hotel or Privilege Aluxes Isla Mujeres. Guests also tend to dress up more at design hotels like Live Aqua Urban Resort San Miguel de Allende and Grand Residences Riviera Cancun.
City hotels in tropical locations, like the Bristol Panama in Panama City’s downtown business district, tend to be more formal than golf resorts in the same area, such as The Santa Maria, which is 10 minutes from Panama City’s main airport.
Generally, people who live in countries composed of a population that is primarily Buddhist or Muslim dress more conservatively than people who live in the United States, Australia or Canada. Many Cambodians, for example, would be embarrassed by a tourist wearing a tank-top and short shorts walking down the street in Phnom Penh. When exploring Cambodia's Angkor Archeological Park, visitors are required to dress with their shoulders and knees covered. Adjust your definition of resort casual to be more conservative for these destinations.
Guests visiting private island resorts in Muslim countries, such as Bawah Reserve in Indonesia or Coco Privé in the Maldives, can wear the same type of resort wear as they would in Mexico or the Caribbean.
Depending on planned activities, you might spend most of your vacation in your bathing suit. Plus, there’s no need to be a fashion plate if you don’t want to be. You’re not required to stuff your suitcase with a different resort casual outfit for each day of your trip.
Ideally, you can pack light, wash your resort casual clothes while you're away, and wear them again. Doing so makes it easier to stay in a place that has laundry facilities, even better when they’re free. Guests with Viking Cruises, for example, have access to laundry machines that are free to use. Condo-type resorts like Vivo Resorts near the Mexican surf town Puerto Escondido and Ocean Club Resorts in Turks and Caicos have in-suite laundry facilities.

Resort wear refers to vacation wear that's worn at resorts or on cruises. More specifically, the term "elegant resort wear" may be used to discourage choices that are so casual as to be inappropriate. As a general rule, resort style is geared toward warmer weather and walks the line between comfort and elegance. Typically cruise lines and resorts have dress codes for both casual everyday wear, as well as guidelines for evening formal events. While dress codes vary, some general guidelines apply anywhere.
Even during the day, assume that standards of elegance apply. Though you may spend a lot of your vacation poolside in a bikini, the bikini isn't appropriate anywhere except the pool and beach. Maxi dresses are excellent for their versatility and can be used as a cover-up or as a classy yet laid-back dress for days in port or walks around town. As an alternative to shorts, wear cropped, fitted capri pants. It's wise to err on the conservative side when the dress code calls for elegant resort casual; avoid risque or otherwise offensive clothing.
Red carpet-worthy gowns are no longer the norm on cruises and in resorts. Since the early 2000s, when cruise lines such as Norwegian and Oceania introduced more casual guidelines for cruise wear, formal nights have become not only less frequent, but also less formal. Dressy pantsuits or cocktail dresses are usually appropriate, and packing the right accessories can give you a wider range of options. Add glamour to a pantsuit with a pair of killer stilettos, or jazz up a basic dress with a well-matched feather accessory such as a boa or dangling feather earrings.
Make the distinction between night and day without donning a tuxedo. Dress suits are usually as formal as it gets for cruises and resorts -- unless otherwise specified -- and sometimes a dress shirt and nice slacks are enough. Bring a jacket and tie in case. The GQ Style Guy recommends linen or seersucker suits for warmer climes, and warns that sneakers, sandals and flip-flops are never acceptable.
