Build your summer-ready wardrobe with The Resort Co and chase the never-ending summer. As the seasons change and spring is in the air, we're allowed to start thinking ahead of warmer days and summer holidays. The Resort Co have a great range of lighter clothing to get to ready for the warmer weather. Alongside their swimwear they have a rang of polo shirts, t-shirts, shorts and trousers in lightweight fabrications such as terrycloth, cotton, seersucker and linen.
The Resort Co is a Stockholm-based menswear resort wear brand with a mission is to craft the perfect vacation wardrobe with a focus on high quality, slow production, and use the best and most sustainable materials available. The artisanal principles and high-quality mindset permeate through the brand. Inspired by Scandinavian aesthetics and the concept of a never-ending Summer, the idea is to design resort wear that last season after season by handpicking the best materials and producers in Europe for every product.
The swim shorts are available in Tailored Swim Shorts or Classic Swim Shorts fit, with the former featuring side adjusters as you'd find on tailored trousers, with the latter having a drawstring. They are made with premium fabrics that dry fast so you'll have no worry of sitting in wet shorts at the restaurant. Choose from bold block colours or subtle repeat prints.
With swim shorts easily adaptable to wear as your day-to-day vacation shorts – giving you the option to jump into the pool or sea at will and then layer up in one of their polo shirts or linen shirts throughout the day.
The idea of a never-ending summer is what we dream of and chase the sun as much as we can. I only recently treated myself to a winter sun break and enjoyed every minute of it – although realised I was slightly unprepared and could have done with a few more linen pieces and polo shirts. One of The Resort Co's pieces that grabs my attention is their linen overshirt which is more akin to a skirt than a chore jacket like some overshirts are made into. This particular one has two buttoned chest pockets with hidden side pockets at the seams. Made in an Irish linen its going to give you a nice comfortable airy feeling that's perfect to wear over a t-shirt or on it's own.

Other standout items are the cotton knitted polo shirts that have a nice classic collar (rather than thin small ones which I'm not a fan of). These are great to wear under a jacket and paired with linen trousers. I'm a big fan of terry towel cotton, although it is reserved more for the resort wear / holiday vibes, but you could try pushing the boundaries and wear in relaxed circumstances in the city. For a slightly more formal feel, the Pique Popover Shirt could work nicely in the office as well as the beach (also available in terrycloth).
Despite The Resort Co focusing on garms for summer vacations, I'd say you could get away with wearing a few closer to home plus extending their longevity while on holiday. Keep chasing the summer.
Available online as well as retailers Beymen, Bongenie-Grieder, L’Exception, Care of Carl and Gabucci.
