8 luxury resort wear ideas for your next vacation

Chilling by the pool, kicking it at the beach, partying all night, or exploring a new (or familiar) place – no matter what’s on the itinerary, you deserve to look as charming as your vacation destination. Picture-perfect locations demand Insta-worthy outfits, and planning multiple eye-catching looks is no easy ask. One must pack all the essentials for comfort while also ensuring that your style is not compromised. In this blog, we intend to help you do just that!

Your search for a luxury-dripping, high-end vacation wardrobe ends here. Let us take away your hassle of planning outfits with this luxe curation from Nykaa Fashion’s Revolve Store. Read on for stylish (and functional!) outfits for your dream vacation.

1. Turn Up the Heat in a Bikini

For the uninitiated, bikinis come in various types and you can definitely find the perfect fit for your body type. A good rule of thumb to follow when shopping for a bikini would be to try on different styles (thank God for Nykaa Fashion’s hassle-free returns and exchanges). Also, choose something you can move around in and style with other pieces, like a cover-up. This ensures you will be able to enjoy activities – whether it’s beach volleyball, surfing, or jet skiing – with ease of movement.

If you want to experiment with your bikini sets, try one with cutouts for a bold look. Want to turn up the heat further? Go for a sheer or knitted dress worn over a bikini for those lazy beach afternoons.

2. Be a Monokini Muse

If you are looking for more coverage and love a good bodysuit, a monokini might just be the swimsuit for you. Supermodel Candice Swanepoel makes a great case for it by pairing one with jeans and an embellished jacket.

You can also wear these with shorts or cargo pants. Wrap-up skirts over a monokini is also a great option to give you the best of both worlds. Style this with an oversized beach bag for all your essentials.

3. Covering Up Seamlessly

Cover-ups are great when you want to walk around after taking a dip in the pool or at the beach. You don’t have to worry about going all the way back to your suite. Head for lunch dates, water sports or whatever you want to do with a quick addition to your swimwear. This will add a touch of sophistication to your look.

You can also pick sarongs or kaftans to effortlessly go from chill mode to classy. You can pick a flowy, breathable cotton or linen piece. A white cover-up will go with everything and give you a chic look. If you are into boho vibes, go for floral prints. Pair this with a sun hat and flip-flops.

4. Dreamy Dresses

It does not get more romantic than this! Live out your Bollywood (or Bridgerton) dreams in flowy dresses. You could go for light, breathable fabrics that would keep you cool and free for frolicking on the beach. Pair it with flip-flops or sensible heels like wedges

Dresses are also great for when you are out exploring and great for those Insta-worthy pics. Try out floral prints and bright colours for the perfect mix of comfort and elegance. They are also very easy to pack and will be wrinkle-free if you use garment bags to pack.

5. Fun Night Outs

After you soak in a beautiful sunset, it’s time to slip into a flattering evening look.

You can choose to continue the boho, beachy vibes with a romantic mini-dress. You also cannot go wrong with a well-fitted dress with cutouts like Kiara Advani, who looked stunning in this solid green dress. This is your chance to add bling with statement earrings or a necklace. It is also a great chance to bring out your heels and up the glam quotient.

6. No-Brainer Co-ord Looks

Bling, bling … and a little more bling! Priyanka Chopra proves that co-ord sets are not just for casual wear with this stunning gold and black set. She completes the look with a gold bag, matching jewellery and white wedge heels

Night or day, co-ord sets are a great cheat if you find it difficult to mix and match your clothes. For a daytime look, look for co-ord sets with shorts or skirts.

8. Hack Your Bags

Margot Robbie and Barbie-core everything was all we could see (willingly or not) this year on the internet. The trend has refused to die down. Luggage in this shade of pink will make the perfect accessory for travel days

Even if you don’t want to go all pink, chic suitcases, and carry-ons can take your airport looks to another level. While the options are endless with prints, colours and textures, also focus on functionality and make sure the luggage you buy has compartments that fit your needs

Planning outfits for every event will take away a lot from your plate while on vacation. Take a look at your itinerary and style your looks for each activity as you pack. This will also make it easier for you to find the correct pieces when you need them.

A useful tip I swear by – take pictures of all your outfits, with accessories and footwear, and you have a mini style guide in your phone gallery.

Happy vacation!
