Whether you refer to the shows as resort, cruise, or pre-spring, the collections that hit stores around December fill the mid-season gap with warm weather silhouettes for winter getaways and outerwear pieces that you can throw on immediately. The Resort 2017 collections saw the return of ‘80s pinstripe patterns with a contemporary update. Meanwhile, vibrant colors like juicy purple and bold chartreuse will lead the way for a bright transition into spring. Designers opted for vibrant, tropical prints in lieu of florals and elegant finishing touches by way of piping details. Here, we highlight seven Resort 2017 trends to keep in mind before you shop.

PINSTRIPE POWER
Once reserved for the boardroom, pinstripes were given a modern twist across the Resort 2017 collections. Re-imagined by Chanel, Tibi, and Isa Arfen, the ‘80s trend returned with broad lines across daywear separates to remove the stiff, corporate feel associated with the pattern. Chanel
