From the cool and sophisticated to the high-season statements to know, discover the resort trends our in-house style experts will be wearing all summer long.
1. One Take Tonal
Perfect for those wanting to make a strong but subtle style statement, feel into the warmth of the season and layer neutrals all the way to your accessories.
