What to pack for a warm-weather escape

A useful resort wardrobe starts with pieces that can do more than one job. Choose swimwear you feel confident wearing, then add a relaxed shirt or polo that moves from the beach to lunch without overthinking it.

1. Start with swim

Pack one statement style and one easy alternate. Separate bikini pieces give you more combinations, while a one-piece can also work beneath an open resort shirt.

2. Add an after-swim layer

A print-led button-up adds coverage and personality without feeling formal. Wear it open over swimwear, buttoned with shorts, or as the brightest piece in a simple outfit.

3. Keep your suitcase focused

Coordinate around a few colors so every piece earns its suitcase space. Elara’s resort collection is intentionally compact: women’s swim, men’s swim, resort shirts, and resort polos.
