Today, I’m featuring the Caroline Caftan from my Sail to Sable x Style Charade Resort 2020 Capsule Collection! It’s the perfect pastel piece to bring on your next vacation and beachside getaway.
This is truly exciting on the heels of our Holiday 2020 Capsule Collection! As avid fans will know, Sail to Sable has been designing maxi dresses and caftans forever. Therefore, we updated their signature silhouette and infused it with candy color stripes, one of my favorite patterns!
Design Process
When designing a collection, I look for inspiration everywhere. All in all, I’m a big believer that you should be a sponge to everyone and everything. Therefore, the Resort 2020 Capsule Collection embodies the beautiful pastel colors in our home, along with the fabulous hues of Harbour Island.
Our home features serene blues, pinks, peaches, mint greens, and corals – all colors that you’ll find within the line. In fact, most of the Pantone swatches are an identical match to the colors in our home. The Resort collection is the perfect blend of our living and family rooms.
Additionally, after visiting Harbour Island in 2014, I fell in love with the pastel pink beaches, beautiful blue waters, crisp white buildings, peach-filled sunsets, and the gorgeous lush greenery around the island. During our visit, we stayed at The Dunmore, which also inspired the beautiful colors and silhouettes.
I LOVED Harbour Island. It’s one of my favorite destinations in the world. While vacationing on Harbour Island, I brought along this gorgeous candy-color striped vintage maxi dress, which served as a source of inspiration and foundation for the Caroline Caftan.
Silhouettes
Every item in the collection has easy and effortless fits and silhouettes. In fact, every single piece in the collection doesn’t have a zipper (love that!). The reason? Toss it over your head and you’re set!
Think of these items as a grab-and-go to lounge and relax. Overall, I imagine sipping cocktails and lounging on the beach with friends when wearing this line, and especially this caftan!
Style Charade Caroline Caftan
The first piece that we designed for Resort? The Charlotte Color-Blocked Dress. After all, the trapeze silhouette has become a staple of my collections. Also, be sure to check out the sequin, striped, and leaf versions). Since we had one short dress in the mix, I wanted to design a maxi dress. After all, when I’m on vacation, 99% of the time – I’m wearing long dresses – especially at dinner.
Plus, Sail to Sable‘s popular caftans and yoke collars are core aspects of their brand. Therefore, we played around the Pantone colors of the collection until we found a colorful striped print that we all loved.
Over the past two collections, I’ve done a few focus groups to get a sense of your feedback on the fits, fabrics, and silhouettes of my past capsules. One main insight – while the majority of you love stripes, many of you said they make you feel wide at times. Therefore, we decided to soften the lines of the Caroline Caftan to create more dimension and trick the eye.
In fact, we’re leveraging unique striped patterns for upcoming capsules. It’s important to us that you always look and feel great while wearing our stripes!
