loading...
Navigating an increasingly uncertain climate, for Resort 27, designers prioritized investment dressing with timeless pieces like classic, Chanel-style bouclé suits. Aside from a few playfully youthful sweaters, the collections focused on versatility. Pieces ranged from preppy plaids to splashy print dresses all crafted to transition into summer and offer consumers multi-season longevity. Here are the top trends for Resort 27 in fabric, print and pattern.
Channeling Chanel
Derived from the French word for "curled," bouclé is crafted from uniquely looped wool yarn, offering a softer texture than tweed. Thanks to its year-round versatility, the bouclé suit has become an investment staple fit for any season.
