*Collaborative Post

The time to embrace summer styling is here and with destinations abroad calling our names, it’s time to think about embracing statement summer fabrics, from sheers to flowing materials. In this article, we explore the resort wear top picks for summer 2024, and highlight the importance of materials and fabrics when dressing for the summer sun. 

Fabrics That Flow 

When it comes to fabrics for the summer sun, particularly hotter holiday destinations, your fabrics will make a big difference in how you feel. Despite style being a priority, there’s no doubt you wish to feel fresh, light and airy as you walk through old towns or along the beach promenade. 

A flowing fabric like a cotton, linen, silk or chiffon provides a light, flowing and breathable fabric that will keep you cool. Both breathable and versatile, such fabrics can also be incredibly stylish and worn in a wide range of ways. From silk evening dresses to chiffon blouses and two-pieces for the daytime, choosing fabrics that flow for your destination dressing is not only a wise choice but a stylish one too.

This season’s summer 2024 style is all about embracing sheer, flowing fabrics. With fit and flare dresses returning and city shorts trending, as well as 90s minimalism at the core of designs, there’s plenty of summer trends to play with this year. 

From styling daytime beach looks, with flowing, wide-leg trousers on the French Riviera to maxi silk dresses and satin cami tops and trousers for a night strolling the romantic streets of Sorrento. This season’s best styles focus on the dreaminess and slow-paced essence of the Mediterranean. With versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down, making sure to incorporate a range of statement sheer pieces, stylish flowing fabrics and items that can be paired together in your suitcase this summer will ensure you look and feel your best in the heat of the summer sun.
