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.

Frill Seeker
The Resort 2015 Collection for Fausto Puglisi was full of this mint green and lavender color combination. But it was this color-blocked coat that made a lasting impression. (Maybe because it reminds us of one of our favorite summer makeup collections.)

A Fine Line
Mulberry combined vertical stripes with horizontal stripes for this resort wear look, and it's surprisingly flattering. Add an interesting neckline that visually adds height and you have a look that projects major confidence in the boardroom.

The Trend: Ballgowns We'd Wear IRL
Usually ballgowns are reserved for prom night, your wedding day and your imaginary Oscars acceptance speech. But the full-skirted, modern silhouettes at this year's resort shows were surprisingly wearable. Take this crop top and skirt look from Erin Fetherston, for example -- it's what Cinderella would wear on a Saturday.
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.
