Fun, flirtatious, and fresh — we’re talking about resort wear. With the fashion calendar changing every quarter (or with every trend), there’s something new spotted on celebrities every day. One such trend is resort wear. Think, sun, sand, beaches and tropical vacations! This cool new interpretation of vacation fashion has got us buzzing! Flowy skirts, oversized printed kaftans, wrap dresses, swimwear, and more- resort wear is anything but boring. But with people leaning toward this trend owing to its ease and freshness, resort wear is making its way into mainstream fashion, too. This means that a bold and colourful cape jacket is just as appropriate for the streets as it is for the beach. Mira Rajput Kapoor for one has aced this trend and how! Her vacation style has given us some major inspiration to dive into this trend. So we did some digging on Nykaa Fashion and found 7 pieces that will make you look ‘vacation ready’.
Illeana D’Cruz has been giving us some major maxi dress inspo lately with her thigh high slit and cape maxi dress styles. Take cues from her on how to style this multicolour maxi dress from ONLY with a knee high slit and balloon sleeves. Keep the accessories to a minimum to maintain the fuss-free look of the maxi dress.

Nothing spells comfy chic quite like a jumpsuit. Take for example every time Anushka Sharma has donned a jumpsuit and nailed her casual/vacation wear game. While her denim jumpsuits have made us want to invest in one, when it comes to resort wear styles we recommend this v-neck green printed jumpsuit from Shaye. This outfit is giving ‘cosy candle light dinner by the beach’ to us.

We’ve been seeing a lot of OTT cape action on the red carpet, but nothing beats the charm of a flowy, colourful cape jacket like this one from Wendell Rodricks. It’s bright, comfy, and is all you need to look beach or pool ready. Just throw it over your swimwear, add a pair of giant sunglasses, grab your hat and get ready to unwind. It also doubles up as the perfect brunch jacket, if you’re bold enough!
