Jun 6 Look for Less: Resort-Wear 2017

From Cuba to Rio, this year's Resort-Wear fashions cleverly reimagined previous seasons' tried and true trends, from the ever popular off-the-shoulder look to matching top-bottom sets. Keep scrolling for MODA's comprehensive round up of all the best Resort-Wear 2017 styles–and how you can incorporate these looks into your summer wardrobe for under $50.

Off-the-shoulder looks have been a staple in spring and summer closets for the past couple seasons now. Newer takes on the look, however, transition this popular silhouette from crop tops and mini dresses to more mature styles that benefit from longer hemlines and button-shirt inspired detailing.

At first glance, knit tops may appear more fitting in a spring or autumn wardrobe, but when paired with an airy skirt, culottes or tailored shorts, this timeless classic becomes the perfect evening wear staple for summer nights when the temperature starts to dip.

Coordinating top-bottom sets are an incredibly versatile look for any jet-setter. Wear the set as intended for a more dressed-up look, or mix and match with other items to maximize your outfit options (and suitcase space).

This season, designers reintroduced tiered summer dresses onto their runways, updating the playful look with unexpected cutouts and a revolving palette of colorful reds and shimmery silvers. The cropped, mini hemline may be a welcome change after seasons of floor grazing skirts, and pairs nicely with lace-up espadrilles and gladiator sandals.
