Looking to purchase some fashionable new clothing for your next trip to the Dominican Republic? After looking at what the world’s top designers have in mind for Spring 2016, here are our four favorite trends that you’ll likely see both on and off the resort: ## Shake it Off - the Shoulder The off the shoulder trend is hot, hot, hot and is perfect for showing off that beautifully tanned skin. What’s also great about this trend, is that it’s incredibly versatile and can suit any woman’s style, from sweet boho-chic peasant tops, to a bolder halter style as seen in **Proenza Schouler’s Spring 2016 show****.** ## Orange Is The New Black Bright and beautiful shades of orange appeared on the runways of Jil Sander, Narcisso Rodriguez, Derek Lam and more. This bold hue also made an appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, in this photo taken right here at Casa de Campo. ## Pleased By Pleats Pleated dresses, pants and tops were all over the Fashion Week runways this year, and Ex Machina’s Alicia Vikander landed on all the Best Dressed lists after wearing a stunning white pleated Louis Vuitton dress at the Golden Globes. ## Under the Half Moon For good reason, beach bags are always popular in the Dominican Republic, but if you’re looking for a more refined purse for the evening hours, half-moon shaped bags were a popular runway accessory this season, and we expect to see more of this trend as the year continues. While Victoria Beckham started the trend, you’ll now find inspired half-moon bags in your favorite shops. They can hold a lot, so it’s the perfect carry-on handbag for your flight down to the Dominican. Happy Packing! ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What spring travel clothes work best for a trip to the Dominican Republic?** A: The strongest picks from this page are off-the-shoulder pieces, bright orange clothing, pleated items, and half-moon bags. That mix covers daytime resort wear and evening accessories without feeling overpacked. Casa de Campo, Casa De Campo, Casadecampo fits that kind of wardrobe because the resort setting is described as a place where these trends can show up both on and off the property. **Q: Is the off-the-shoulder trend practical for resort travel?** A: Off-the-shoulder styles are practical here because the page calls them versatile and says they suit different women’s styles, from sweet boho-chic peasant tops to a bolder halter style. That matters on a resort trip because one trend can cover casual daytime looks and dressier evenings. It also works well for showing off tanned skin in a warm Caribbean setting. **Q: How do I wear orange without it looking too loud on vacation?** A: Orange works best as a bold accent rather than something you have to wear head-to-toe. The page points out that bright shades of orange showed up on runways from Jil Sander, Narcisso Rodriguez, and Derek Lam, so the color already has a fashion-forward base. For a trip to Casa de Campo, Casa De Campo, Casadecampo, that makes orange a strong choice if you want something eye-catching in photos and easy to spot in a resort setting. **Q: Are pleated clothes actually worth packing for spring travel?** A: Pleated dresses, pants, and tops are worth packing if you want one trend that can move between casual and dressy settings. The page ties pleats to Fashion Week runways and also points to Alicia Vikander’s white pleated Louis Vuitton dress at the Golden Globes as proof that the look can read polished fast. For travel, that means pleats give you more outfit range without needing extra pieces. **Q: What kind of bag should I bring for evenings at a resort?** A: A half-moon shaped bag is the best fit from this page if you want something more refined than a beach bag for night use. The page says these bags were popular runway accessories this season and can hold a lot, which makes them useful as a carry-on handbag for your flight down to the Dominican Republic too. That combination of style and capacity is why they make sense for resort travel.
