DRESS: ALEMAIS LUDA BALLET SUNDRESS | SHOES & EARRINGS: BORROWED FROM MOM’S CLOSET.
Palm Beach dress code is classic and timeless. If the dress code dictates Palm Beach chic, think ELEVATED, SOPHISTICATED, FEMININE. It’s chic but resort chic, it’s island style after all. Breezy, elegant, colorful pieces, usually cottons, high-quality linens, raffia bags, sunglasses. Effortless resortwear. Dress to impress with summer on your mind. Even in the wintertime, people wear bright colors because you can throw on a light jacket or cardigan on top of your shoulders while still wearing a midi dress and sandals. You’ll often spot locals wearing caftan, tunics, sundresses and bright hues. Palm Beach chic and vacation wardrobe go hand in hand.
Key styling tips for Palm Beach: Think upscale casual. Daytime Palm Beach means swimsuits and pareos, caftan and bikinis that can take you from the beach to lunch or shopping. In the afternoons or evenings, I will go for an oversized shirt and matching pareo from Coniglio Palm Beach, a structured linen midi dress and heels for date night at Buccan or sandals to grab a bite at Pizza al Fresco. If you want to embrace island style, add raffia accessories, maybe some seashell earrings. Palm Beach style is timeless resortwear with a hint of modern sophistication. No flip flops in the evening, better to overdressed than underdressed.
