Of course there was Chanel's standard black and white, but pastels were also shown. Black netted coverups and black and white gingham bathing suits contrasted nicely with the pastel pinks, greens, yellows and tans of longer coverups and resort wear.
Tousled hair, bronzy gold makeup and layers of ruffles on sleeves and near the ankles brought up images of a 70's beach party. Striped, long, knit dresses look comfortable, yet put together; perfect for dinner on the patio with the warm ocean breeze blowing through your hair. Add a flower clip or headband to complete the look.
A gorgeous black beaded halter gown is sure to be a show stopper for any dinner party. The companion is a cream colored one piece swimsuit with gold beading and chains around the neck and a small gold belt. Pick up these two pieces and you are ready for a posh cruise.
Jumpers and rompers are still being shown. Chanel showed a yellow-gold sleeveless jumper that is dressy enough for night. For something more casual, choose the pale pink romper.
Sheer button down tops in yellow, magenta and icy blue were paired with matching pants for a monochromatic look. Slip a cami underneath and you can easily wear this look out and about when you are back from vacation. There were other semi-suiting monochromatic outfits, some were paired with belts, others had ruffles around the neck. Many of the dresses can be worn right off the runway today for day to evening wear.
Men in barefoot and in flip flops with a bit of a five o'clock shadow wore baggier jeans (compared to the popular skinny jeans) and loose long sleeved tops. These guys look like they just had a soul searching walk down the beach.
This collection is flirty and girly, but still sophisticated. Everyone is sure to find at least one piece that they need to pack into their cruise luggage. Visit Women's Wear Daily to see the whole collection.
