Resort Styles on Sale
Barbara Gerwit resort wear for women brings color, comfort, and polish to every warm-weather escape. From poolside mornings to dinner on the terrace, our hand-printed dresses, tunics, and coordinated sets are made in easy-care fabrics that love to travel. Each piece is designed in California, printed in small batches, and cut to flatter, so you look put together the moment you arrive.
Dresses for Every Resort Day
The right resort dress does it all. Our knit dresses in slit-neck, V-neck, and sleeveless styles keep you cool through brunch, shopping, and spa afternoons, while Maxi Dresses bring easy length for golden-hour dinners. For evenings that call for something special, Embroidered Dresses add hand-detailed polish without any fuss.
Tunics, Bottoms and Coordinated Looks
Resort dressing is easiest when everything matches. Pair our printed tunics with palazzo pants, capris, or skorts cut from the same signature prints, or choose a 3 Piece Set for a complete outfit in one choice. Finish with our Coordinated Scarf Styles and a Resort Tote Bag that carries pool to patio.
Easy-Care Fabrics That Love the Heat
Our resort outfits are built on breathable 95% Supra Cotton knits and lightweight nylon-spandex that resist wrinkles, wash easily, and dry fast in humid climates. They hold their color through sun, salt, and sunscreen season after season. Read more about how each fabric performs in our Fabric Guide.
Prints You Will Not See Anywhere Else
Every print is hand-printed in limited quantities: tropical florals, island motifs, and bold color pairings inspired by the destinations our customers visit. Because prints repeat across dresses, tunics, and bottoms, building a coordinated resort wardrobe takes minutes, not hours.
Resort Wear for Women Over 50
Many of our customers found us while searching for resort wear that flatters past 50, and it shows in how we cut our clothes. Necklines frame without clinging, sleeveless styles come with 3/4-sleeve alternatives in the same prints, and our knit fabrics skim rather than grip. Extended sizes carry the same designs, not an afterthought version. The result is resort clothing you feel confident in at the pool, at dinner, and in every vacation photo.
What to Wear for Every Resort Occasion
Breakfast on the terrace calls for a tunic and capris. Pool hours want a sleeveless knit dress that doubles as a cover up. Afternoon excursions run best in a skort or palazzo pants with a matching top, and dinner is where a maxi or embroidered dress earns its place in the suitcase. When the dress code says resort casual, a printed knit dress with a coordinating scarf answers it perfectly. Golf and garden lunches suit our French terry pieces. One small stack of coordinated prints covers the entire day without a single repeat feeling like one.
Why Women Choose Barbara Gerwit
Double-stitched construction, pre-shrunk fabrics, and boutique production runs mean pieces that last for years of trips, not one season. Whether you are packing for a beach resort, a country club weekend, or a cruise, our collection travels the way you do. U.S. orders over $75 ship free, and current markdowns live in our Holiday Sale.
Resort Wear Questions, Answered
What is resort wear for women?
Resort wear is polished warm-weather clothing made for vacations: breathable dresses, tunics, lightweight bottoms, and cover-ups that move easily from day activities to dinner. It sits between casual beachwear and formal evening wear.
What should I wear to a resort dinner?
A knit or embroidered dress in a rich print works at nearly every resort restaurant. Add a coordinating scarf and sandals or wedges, and you are dressed for anything from casual terrace dining to a nicer reservation.
Is resort wear only for vacations?
No. Our customers wear these pieces to lunches, country clubs, garden parties, and everyday summer life. Easy-care fabric and flattering cuts work anywhere warm.
What fabrics are best for hot, humid weather?
Breathable cotton knits and quick-drying nylon-spandex handle heat and humidity best. Both resist wrinkles and wash easily, which also makes them ideal for suitcases.
Do you offer coordinated outfits?
Yes. Our prints repeat across dresses, tunics, palazzo pants, capris, and skorts, and our 3 Piece Sets give you a complete matched outfit in one order.
What is the difference between resort wear and beach wear?
Beach wear centers on the water: cover ups, quick-dry fabric, and pieces that go over a swimsuit. Resort wear covers the whole vacation day, from breakfast to dinner. Our prints cross between both, so the two wardrobes share pieces.
