Runway Ready
The Return of Dressing to Impress
The Return of Dressing to Impress shines through in this season’s Resort 2022 Collections
At the dawn of a new era, the desire to dress up and be noticed is back again. The resort collections bring us a mix of seasons to explore and offer diverse trends spanning aesthetics from swimwear to coats. While elements of elevated comfort and athleisure extending from the 2021 collections continue to be perfected, statement outerwear and colorful suits feel new again. Whether you opt for microminis or prefer full coverage in maxi length, striking prints, fearless layering, bold mixes and rich textures are the way to go. Get inspired by the key resort ’22 fashion trends you will want to have in your wardrobe.
Luxury leggings. It is time to upgrade the “all day everyday” comfort of sweats we adjusted to during the pandemic. A more polished alternative spotted on runways is sleek leggings in rich colors and patterns, elevating the feel of sportiness and ease to “haute-style” level.
Suited for success. Every season, there seems to be a new take on suiting, and color is the name of the game for resort 2022. From pairings with bralettes and crop tops for warm days or nights out to turtlenecks for casual-cool or office-chic looks, two- to three-piece suits in colorful shades are a foolproof option to turn heads in admiration.
Daytime feathers. While feathers are by no means a novelty among trends, designers were even more certain this season that plumage accents on daywear are a recipe for success. Taking feathers from conventional evening styles to contrasting daytime looks, combined with casual outerwear and sporty elements, “the bolder the better” reigns true for mixing pieces with feather accents.
Minis. After a year of virtual life, we are ready to show off some leg again. Minis and micro skirts with or without leg coverage are the way to go.
Oversized sleeves. This style continues to trend in resort ’22 collections. Whether it’s sculptural, round or capelike shapes on coats, tops or jackets, striking sleeve elements with extra padding are the fashion statement that speaks volumes about high confidence.
Going out dress. Ready to make the coming holiday season memorable, many designers went for a broad spectrum of sparkly looks paired with sexy heels or dressed down with flats, booties or sporty footwear. Metallicand sequin looks are back in every color and length from day to night.

More is more. As in every season, one can never go wrong with maxi length. Resort ’22 collections were packed with floor-length pieces that can beinstantly transformed from formal to casual looks (and vice versa) by adding statement accessories. But whether you like to keep it simple or layer up, this season is all about high-impact looks, so there’s no holding back on textures, color and evocative prints.
