SUNWEAR STYLE

Resort Report

Ready for Resort? Dial in your sunwear merchandise mix for one of biggest selling times of the year—the holiday/resort season—with a stunning lineup of the season’s best options. The upcoming holiday/resort season calls for elegance, opulence, and a bit of the best for poolside lounging and cappuccinos at cafes around the world. This season’s sunwear options hit the mark with looks that are as pretty as a postcard in several major trends we define here.

Graceful Notes, including soft, rosy tones and brushed metal accents, create an overall feel of graciousness for resort looks. Even the chunkiest of acetates have Tapered Touches, such as angled shaping and metal accents that tailor over-the-top styles. Bridge Beauty is something to behold for the relaxing set as saddle bridges, gold metal bridges inset in acetates, and feminine looks add a touch of drama to sweet shades.

Tapered Touches (left to right): Oversized drama takes center stage in Frederic Beausoleil style S/453P from Prisme Optical Group, which features tapered touches in the angularity of a flat top and bottom softened by rounded temples and an exclusive design acetate print. Dolce & Gabbana style DG4277 from Luxottica features a luscious brow line and temples in a modern, tapestry-inspired floral print elegantly complemented by lenses of the lightest blue.

Graceful Notes (left to right): Grace is the name of the game for Face à Face style Spicy2 with luscious cat shaping accentuated by a black brow meeting a white chassis. A flat front is a modern accent in Dior style Diorama Club/S from Safilo—the matte, semi-rimless style with eye-catching pink flash rounded lenses is complemented by lightweight metal temples with open architectural tips. Stella McCartney style SC00178 from Kering Eyewear is Riviera ready with a gold chain subtly peeking from a rosy brow line complemented by gray tortoise for maximum cool.

Bridge Beauty (top to bottom): Marbleized acetate and a double-bar matte metal bridge make Bon Vivant style Camille from Ogi Eyewear a dramatic option with a sweeping cat shape. GUESS style GU7458 from Marcolin takes a brushed silver bridge and spreads from the center of the frame with matte enamel and sky blue temples. Circular chic is en vogue for Wes Gordon collection style 9908 from Silhouette in a matte green and semi-shiny gold providing the look of a rim inserted in a rimless style. High style gets a high seas inspiration in Calvin Klein style CK3201S from Marchon, a navy sun style with a gold bridge and tapered temples.

Graceful Notes (left to right): Grace and elegance are ready for their day in the sun in Vera Wang style V441 from Kenmark, a soft rose upswept style with a gently curved tortoise front. Badgley Mischka style Nora from McGee Group has a soft glamour in a toffee tort with a round shape that gently wraps to protect the eyes—and provide plenty of privacy poolside. A peek of metal filigree from within the frame front of FYSH UK Sun style F-2001 from WestGroupe provides a rosy outlook for a luxurious resort season.
