From sunshine-soaked days to long balmy nights, this is your guide to resort dressing.
Warmer weather is here to stay and with it comes excitement for the summer season ahead. From the prettiest dresses to adventure-ready swimwear, these are the resort dressing pieces you’ll be living in this summer and beyond.
This is the David Jones guide to resort dressing.
Chase the sun
Embrace the spirit of the season in sunshine-inspired prints and silhouettes. Raised hemlines and bold colours set the tone for summertime optimism. No matter where you are, channel the energy of a tropical holiday with blossoming floral motifs in ocean blues and sage green. And playful shapes – think ruffled layers and billowing sleeves – feel at home for balmy beachside strolls and long city nights alike.
Cool classics
Well-cut classics will go the distance this season and beyond. Transcend trends by opting for quality fabrics, such as soft cotton or breathable linen, in timeless hues that feel put together for a range of occasions. For easy elevation, complete the look with stylish accessories. Statement jewellery is the perfect accent to simple styling for her and soft leather accessories make classic pieces feel considered for him.
Make a splash
Long days spent poolside are best done in style. Refresh your swimwear rotation with statement-making full-pieces in a rainbow of vibrant hues. And, wide straps and full coverage are equal parts stylish and secure, so you can get active and stay comfortable all summer long. From beach to bar, simply throw on a flowing linen pant or billowing skirt for an easy outfit change.
Lit from within
This season’s beauty is defined by striking simplicity. Let sun-kissed skin sing with ultra-hydrating, barely there formulas. Then, inject warmth with a wash of bronze tones across the eyes. Finish off with sunburnt blush in creamy formulas for the ultimate summertime glow.
The Perfect Housewarming Gift
When it comes to a housewarming gift, you can’t go past a highly-coveted home fragrance. Elevate their new space and add a little cosiness to their home with a scented candle, available in a variety of fragrances and personalities. Try to match the scent to the energy of the new home or the giftees—wanderlust personalities will love exotic fragrances and travel-inspired scents, while those with a green thumb might find inspiration in a fresh, floral-scent candle. Why not also include a matching room spray, diffuser or essential oil to help take the aromatic experience to another level?

In the details
This season’s update on summer sandals is all about height. From pretty dresses to summer tailoring, a chunky platform is the perfect punctuation for every outfit. And opt for accessories that are equal parts practical and sophisticated. Prep for sunshine with classic raffia hats and super-sleek sunglasses. Angular shapes – sharp cat eyes and slim rectangles – are the chicest accompaniment to more feminine pieces.
