Retailers who purchase Resort 27’s denim collections find inspiration in the early 2000s. At that time, premium denim brands such as 7 For All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity and True Religion turned jeans into a fashion investment. The formula was simple but highly effective: combining designer denim with an elegant top for an effortless look from morning to night. For retailers, this trend resulted in strong additional sales as customers complemented their outfits with jewelry, handbags and accessories during the department store boom.
For Resort 27, the appeal of ‘jeans and a nice top’ remains as great, although the proportions have changed. Denim silhouettes are evolving towards straighter, longer legs, often with a relaxed, puddled finish, while cropped and wider cuts also remain. The following ten looks from the latest Resort 27 collections show how designers are updating this sustainable styling formula for a new season.
