Leather was a major player in the aesthetic of a majority of this year's resort wear collections. The minimalist leather piping and thin collar on this Valentino trench look positively buttery. Thank you, Italy.

Sunny Days Ahead
Forget khaki. Roksanda Ilincic changed our notion of what a trench coat should be with this ultra bright yellow and turquoise coat. You could wear pajamas under that thing and be glamorous.

The Trend: Girl-Power Suits
Menswear has been an ongoing trend at past fashion weeks, and don't get us wrong -- we love the look. But who says your powersuit can't have a touch of femininity? These kelly green separates from Amanda Wakeley are one part sporty, one part girly and all parts gorgeous.

Flair for Success
The roomy silhouettes and wide-flared trousers at Giambattista Valli are guaranteed to get you a promotion (well, at least in our book). Pair this all white look with a statement handbag and patterned sunglasses and you're runway-ready.

Knotty by Nature
The black and white tweed fabric and addition of a pocket square may be details stolen from the boys, but the slim cut of this Maiyet jacket and shorter trouser length keep this look feminine.
The words "resort wear" tend to mislead people when it comes time for yet another season of ubiquitous fashion shows. But what sounds like the showing of multiple collections featuring swimwear and sarongs (most likely at a time when you're stuck in a hot office dreaming of vacation), is actually a showing of trends appropriate for any season. This year's resort collections features coats we're coveting for the autumn chill, sheer dresses that have us scheduling time at the gym, and, OK, there are also some vacation-worthy pieces. Here, our favorite trends from the resort 2015 Collections. Use them to start your "back-to-school" pre-fall shopping list.
