For jetting off to the Hamptons or the South of France, dress the part in silky sets and printed dresses from fashion’s most celebrated luxury resortwear labels. Read on for some of this summer’s most covetable pieces.
Pondichérie
Rina Caftan, $245
Pondichérie founder, Devon Fisher, started her brand with sustainable employment for women in mind. She was inspired by the seaside town, Pondicherry, India, where she purchased a luxury silk caftan, as well as growing up in Kauai. Her 100 percent linen pieces are all made in New York and are breezy for beach days and come in neutral colors for an understated-yet-chic look. We love the Rina Caftan with boatneck details and oversized pockets. pondicherie.com

Johanna Ortiz
Journal of a Traveller jungle-print wrap dress, $1,234
Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz recently celebrated her brand’s 15th anniversary. Known for chic daywear, silky dresses and vibrant prints, her dresses are a must for any vacation. We specifically love her new high summer collection that focuses on animal prints in a variety of long-dress silhouettes, florals, lace cutouts and puffy sleeves – of course, it wouldn’t be a Johanna Ortiz dress without her signature ruffles and other feminine touches. This Journal of a Traveller dress from her recent collection is available on Matches. johannaortiz.co
Alexandra Miro
Raphaela Maxi Dress, $497
British resortwear designer Alexandra Miro plays around with bright pops of colorful and simple-yet-chic prints, like thick stripes, polka dots and colorblocking. She has both resortwear and swim, making her pieces perfect for frolicking in the South of France or heading to a dinner party in the Hamptons. Her pieces have feminine silhouettes, accentuating all different body types. We love the Raphaela Maxi Dress in white with bright yellow polka dots. alexandramiro.com

This specific piece is a completely new design for Heidi Klein and features a smocked bodice for comfort and support (and to add a chic design element, almost resembling a top and skirt) and slits along the side for breathability during those hot beach days. heidiklein.com
