One of the best parts of traveling somewhere warm during the thick of winter is easily the clothes. Going from the freezing cold to a deliciously sunny and balmy climate? There's truly no better than feeling than swapping a heavy puffer jacket and all your chunky knit sweaters for breezy caftans, the brightest of dresses, airy crochet pieces, and chic beach coverups. Johanna Ortiz, Zimmermann, Agua by Agua Bendita, and Farm Rio are just some of the many designers that excel at resort wear, but there are plenty of other labels that shine just as equally in the vacation-dressing department. To help with your shopping, we rounded up some of the season's best resort wear pieces for vacationing in style this winter, below.

Tyde Shirt Bayou Stripe Cobalt

SHOP MATCHING SHORTS

Stripes are a beach-side essential. And what's cool about this button down is that it comes with matching shorts that you can wear together over your favorite swimsuit. Then, later on, you can swap the bottoms for a pair of white jeans and wedges for dinner. It's the best of both worlds.

Flora Midi Dress

With a lightweight linen construction, a beaded halter neckline, and hot side slit, what you have here is the ultimate day-to-night vacation dress. Wear with strappy sandals during the day and then change into heels and chunky gold earrings for a dressier look. Your bound to look flawless either way.
