I’m definitely a “go big or go home” type of Summer outfit girl and I’m always looking to make a statement, I’m talking patterned palazzo pants, colorful caftans, straw totes, turquoise jewelry and this resort wear shopping guide has it all!
Whether you’re like me and love to go all out with your vacation outfits or you just like to sprinkle in a pop of color or add a tropical accent piece to a more minimal outfit I’m here to help!
What is Resort Wear?
Before we jump into my picks for resort wear, first let’s talk about what resort wear actually is! In it’s literal sense, resort wear is clothing you would wear while on a tropical or warm weather vacation destination such as a beach resort or cruise ship. Resort wear oozes casual elegance and is designed for leisure activities in an upscale setting.
Affordable Resort Wear Price Points
I know everyone’s definition of “affordable” is a little different, but for this article I’m going to include resort wear under $300, with a majority of items and brands under $200!
While designers make the most beautiful warm weather pieces that I will forever covet and draw inspiration from I can’t bring myself to spend upwards of $500 for vacation clothing.
Where to Buy Affordable Resort Wear
Anthropologie
It’s no secret that Anthropologie is one of my favorite stores for every season, I especially love their Summer clothes and laid back eclectic styles for the chicest vacation inspiration! From dresses to jewelry to bags to shoes Anthropologie has everything on your resort wear checklist.
Some of my favorite brands Anthropologie carries include LSPACE, Seafolly, Maeve, Sunday in Brooklyn, Maaji, Reformation, Agua Bendita, ASTR The Label, just to name a few and of course their namesake, By Anthropologie, line.
Lulus
Lulus is probably one of the most affordable places to buy resort wear for your upcoming vacation. Everything pictured below is well under $100 and while the pieces are on the trendier side they aren’t items that will necessarily go out of style.
If you’re looking for a new swimsuit I would definitely check here before anywhere else! They are so many options – one pieces and bikinis – in prints, bright colors and neutrals!
Petal & Pup
Petal & Pup is an Australian brand that offers a huge selection of trendy women’s fashion items including a ton of affordable resort wear and vacation clothing. They sell clothing for every season, but I will say their Summer clothes are really the best of what they offer! They really nail it when it comes to colors and prints and their price point is amazing. Everything I shared here is under $150 and it’s rare than anything on their page is more than that.
Farm Rio
I know I said everything I was going to include in this affordable resort wear post was going to be primarily under $200, but the reason I had to say “primarily” is because I absolutely had to include one of my favorite brands, Farm Rio, in this guide because they EXUDE resort wear and vacation clothes and while I tried my best to include a majority of items under $200, there are a few pieces a little above that!
One thing I will say is that while Farm Rio may be in the $300 and under range, these pieces are worth the money. The quality is outstanding, the prints and cuts are beautiful and while it seems silly to say that resort wear can be timeless, Farm Rio pieces truly are.
