Existing in the resort wear realm is as close as it gets to an endless Summer. If you are unfamiliar with the term “resortwear,” it is a collection of clothing that seeks to embody all things Summer, all things luxury and all things color, all of the time. You’ve heard the song, “It's 5 o’ clock somewhere” (RIP Jimmy Buffet), as an invitation for that 11AM airport cocktail–but what about “It’s summertime somewhere?” As the voice behind Loleono, your one-stop shop for all resortwear essentials, I formally invite you to celebrate summertime somewhere.

When you think of “resort,” you probably envision beautiful architecture, luxurious rooms, infinity pool(s) and a balcony view of crystal-clear water (just me?)! If I could channel anything about that resort energy into everyday life it would be the ease. Ease of finding a delicious meal (that I didn’t need to cook). Ease of adventure and activities at every turn. Ease of coming back from the beach to a perfectly made bed with my towel atop (folded into a cute animal, of course). So if I’ve sold you on resort-life, you might be asking yourself, “how can I exercise that ease all year and without everyday access to an all-inclusive (dream on ladies.)?” Enter, resortwear.

The key to curating a versatile, resortwear collection of your own entails three core elements: luxe fabrics, flattering fits and color color color (did I say color?). Summertime somewhere is all about looking great, feeling great and adding some je ne sais quoi (what we Loleono ladies call “sparkle”) to your day.

Luxe Fabrics

Summertime somewhere is always luxurious (and comfortable)--island time is no time for sweating in that day dress or fixing the strap on your coverup (for the third time). Invest in high-quality, lightweight and sun-safe pieces that will look great and last as long as that endless Summer. Made from 100% cotton, this reef tunic is one my faves on or off the beach.

Flattering Fits

Don’t pass on pieces that flatter you! Finding the perfect fit is key to comfort and ease. I love Ibkul (icikuls) patented icefil fabric that stretches in the best way and keeps you cool for all that fun in the sun.

Color

Leave those dull colors for the dreary Winter days. Summertime somewhere is light and bright! This stunning Silk Easy Breezy Tunic checks all of my boxes: luxurious silk, super flattering and island-inspired colors (adds to cart*).
