In-between seasons like resort may not get the fanfare of spring and fall fashion weeks, with most designers releasing simple lookbooks in lieu of big runway shows, but they’re still worth paying attention to. Typically designed with commercial appeal at top of mind, they signal which trends are likely to really take off in the market, and can hint at what’s to come on the spring runways in September.

For Resort 2026, we’re seeing designers double down on fledgling trends from prior seasons, like boho-chic, polka dots and scarf prints. There’s also an unexpected color trend on the rise, a foil to the the alleged skinny-jean resurgence and a case for warm-weather turtlenecks.

Keep scrolling for the most noteworthy trends from designers’ Resort 2026 collections.

Small Top / Big Bottom

Designers like Ferragamo, Kallmeyer and Victoria Beckham are doing their part to stave of the impending skinny-pant resurgence by committing to wide, baggy trouser silhouettes. Belted low-waist styles paired with smaller, more form-fitting tops are particularly popular for resort.

Oh So Much Boho

The boho-chic resurgence, however, is in full swing. From hippie/flower-child influences at Anna Sui and Valentino, to looks at Ann Demeulemeester and Gucci that veer into “indie sleaze” territory, Resort 2025 is looking very 2005.

Scarf it Down

A crafty and nostalgic trend picking up steam again is using prints and fabrics typically seen in scarves and ties to create full garments, from actual scarf tops and handkerchief skirts at Blumarine and Erdem to silky paisley prints at Valentino and Etro.

Teal the Deal

The resort collections are unsurprisingly filled with pastels like pale pinks, yellows and periwinkles, but teal may be the season’s most interesting color trend. Shades of the blue-green blend range from pale and muted at Gucci and Erdem, to bold and pigmented at Fendi and Ulla Johnson.

Turtlenecks for Resort?

Resort can be a confusing season, since it drops in the winter but is technically designed for warm-weather vacations. This year, many designers navigated that dichotomy by incorporating into everything from romantic dresses to sleeveless tops.
