Once reserved for the financially blessed and sold during a few select months out of the year, resort wear is now a leading subsection of the fashion industry. Blame it on the psychological release still prevailing from societies post-lockdown period, an \u201calways on vacation\u201d<\/em> mindset for those afforded the ability to work remotely, or the fact that our planet is heating up. Realistically, all three of these factors, and more, have resulted in a year-long fascination with resort wear. With the summer months officially upon us in the northern hemisphere, this fascination has peaked across the menswear landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

To understand the rise of resort wear, we have to look at the origins of this lightweight and comfortable apparel genre, along with the state of mind it represents. Fashion historians generally agree clothing brands began building mini-lines tailored specifically for vacation purposes in the 1920s. Wealthy families in America and Europe would often travel to warmer destinations after the winter holiday season. Just as we often do now, they used their trips as an excuse to shop for new clothes. Clothing companies responded by selling specially curated lines in January through March, made up of items that were formerly reserved for summer months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
