High fashion houses like Chanel,[4] Dior, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, and Ralph Lauren offer cruise/resort collections.
[7] From walking shorts, caftans and sandals, to full-length evening dresses for women and light dinner jackets for men, resort wear is unique in its design and function.
[citation needed] Resort wear is generally constructed with materials are easy to pack, lightweight, and breathable, such as cotton, silk, denim, linen, rayon, and poplin.
Resort wear also encompasses swimsuits and bathing suit cover ups, with brands like KIINI[8] specializing in this segment.
Sometimes, brands such as RockyB Republik from Penang, Malaysia, BIASA from Bali, Psylo from Ko Samui, and Villebrequin from Saint Tropez will emerge from the very locations that resort wear is designed for and is worn year-round.
