These Resort 2016 Looks Will Inspire Your Next Outfit

Easy suiting deserves equally easy slides — take notes for your Summer work wardrobe.

Sexy and smart, thanks to a subtle tie at the neckline and ankle-grazing trousers.

Matchy-matchy gets a modern update.

And peplum looks all grown up with culottes.

A call to unexpected layering that you'll want to answer.

Balance breezy sheer pieces with elevated flats and cool flares.

The rich hues on this jacket mean you need little else to turn heads. Just throw it on top of jeans and go.

Known for bold, festive prints with a ladylike spin — you'll want to take a page from Lilly's book now and invest in sweet-cum-statement-making dresses for beachy vacations and beyond.

White on white can be intimidating to wear off the runway, so if you're not completely set on the idea, ease into the style with a hint of metallics in your top.

An embellished jacket is the one statement piece that will get everyone talking at a party, in a good way. With options out there that range from crystals to florals, you'll have no trouble finding one you love (and your friends will want to borrow).

Take a page out of Christian Siriano's book and match the shade of your midi skirt to your top. Keep it light and feminine with pops of pink, peach, yellow, and teal.

If you spot a print you're obsessed with on two different pieces, consider buying both. Bonus points if you accessorize the outfit with an oversize hair bow.

Fans of the culotte trend know there are endless ways to wear this style. Elevate your outfit with a pair of heels and a crisp top. We vote this look a yes for work appropriate.

We admit we're still not completely over wearing our fringe pieces for Spring and this Rebecca Minkoff jacket proves fringe is here to stay for a little while longer. Wear it with jeans for a casual everyday look or dress it up with a midi skirt.

All fashion girls know that Summer isn't complete without a breezy maxi dress. Slip into a bright, silky frock to channel the same party vibes present in Stella McCartney's resort collection.

If there's one lesson we can take away from Rebecca Taylor's resort looks it's mixing prints. Choose pieces in the same color family and keep the accessories simple for a polished feel. If you feel extrabold, layer on a vest.

A long gauzy gown is exactly what bohemian goddesses envision for Summer. Bare your shoulders with a dress that has sweet cutouts like this one from Rebecca Taylor. You can take in the compliments when you wear it to weddings or a dinner date with friends.

If you ever doubted pink and yellow could work well together, this Dior halter dress shows you it's possible. Choose a piece that has the two color combos already or create your own.

To make a dress with a plunging neckline more work friendly and subdued, layer a patterned shirt underneath. The unexpected pairing shows off the best of both outfits and you can avoid any fashion mishaps. Finish with a pair of booties and you'll be ready to catwalk down the streets.

Makes you want to bare your shoulders, huh? It doesn't have to be a gown; opt to channel the look with a top and skirt combo — or just add drama to date night with an off-the-shoulder top.

Although Autumn is months away, the search for that jacket you'll wear time and time again starts now. While we love our classic blacks and neutrals, skip them in favor of a bold or patterned outerwear come Fall 2015.

Take the white-on-white challenge and make it gray on gray for days when you want to wear your neutrals.

The sleek lines and simple looks from Tibi are ones we can wear from the office into the weekend. This look is for ladies who love the minimal style.

If you're not ready to give up your black for Summer, wear a fun print that works for all seasons like polka dots.

Leather on leather may look cool on the runway, but chances are you probably won't be rocking this combo daily. To ease into the whole idea, start with leather shorts or a structured leather top.

Pair your favorite fringe top with a skirt to get the ultimate festival-ready outfit.

If you've spotted long shirts with side slits and wondered how on earth can you style that, fear not. Take some inspiration from Derek Lam and wear it under a dress or skirt.

Gingham print gets a sporty overhaul in Derek Lam's resort collection. The print is one of the easiest to pull off for any occasion.
