Resort Wear

The hours between the swims

The truth about a holiday is that you spend far more of it out of the water than in it. The walk from the lounger to the long lunch, the slow hour when the heat softens, the table that fills up as the sun goes down. Resort wear is what you live in for all of it, and Ya Omri designs it in Dubai for women who want those in-between hours to feel as good as they look. Easy on, easy to move in, quietly luxurious, the pieces you did not expect to wear every day and then did.

Cover ups, cut to drape

A beautiful cover up is the most useful thing in the case. Ours are cut from the same lustrous, sustainable Lycra as the Sunset Mirage swimsuits, so they fall softly over the body and dry in the sun, in warm shades of orange, yellow, turquoise and red. Throw a fluid beach cover-up dress over your swim for the walk to lunch, reach for a piece made to go over a two piece in our bikini cover ups edit, or choose the slightly more covered layer of our swimsuit cover-up dresses. Several arrive matched to a swimsuit, so the whole look is ready before you have finished your coffee.

Linen, for when the day turns to dinner

When the heat eases and the evening begins, linen is the answer. Our linen jumpsuits bring a relaxed, tailored elegance to resort dressing. The Luna pinstripe jumpsuit pairs a wide-leg silhouette with delicate tie-shoulder details, an invisible centre-back zip and side pockets that bring a little ease to a polished design. The Verde linen tie jumpsuit offers a softer, square-neck shape in natural linen. Both shake out beautifully after a day in the case and carry you from a stroll along the front to a long, late table without a second thought.

One register, all day long

The point of resort wear is that you never have to change gear. A cover up over your swim at noon, a linen jumpsuit as the light turns golden, and you have dressed for the whole day in two easy pieces. Keep one cover up by the lounger and one linen piece for the evening, layer them over the swimwear you already own, and the day flows from one moment to the next. It is the most relaxed kind of luxury, the sort that looks after itself so you can spend your attention on better things.

Completing the look

Resort wear works hardest beside the right swim. Build your foundation in our bikini or swimsuit collections, then let these pieces carry it through the day. For the evenings you want a little more drama, a fluid cover up over a crystal piece from our embellished swimwear edit catches the light as you move. And a matching Sunset Mirage set, swimsuit and cover up together, is the easiest way to look considered with no effort at all.

Your questions, answered

What is resort wear?

Resort wear is everything you wear around your swimwear on holiday, the cover ups, beach dresses and jumpsuits that take you from the pool to lunch to dinner. At Ya Omri it means fluid Lycra cover ups and tailored linen jumpsuits, designed to be thrown on easily and to look polished from morning to night.

What should I wear over my swimwear?

For a quick, breezy layer over a bikini, a piece from our bikini cover ups is ideal. If you tend to wear a one-piece, a swimsuit cover-up dress gives you a slightly more covered look. For the evening, a linen jumpsuit lets you leave the swimwear behind entirely.

Are the linen jumpsuits suitable for the evening?

They are made for it. Both the Luna pinstripe and the Verde linen tie move easily from a daytime stroll to a long dinner, styled with a sandal one evening and bare feet on a terrace the next. Linen keeps you cool in the heat and only looks better as the night goes on.

Do the cover ups match your swimwear?

Many do. Our beach cover-up dresses are cut from the same sustainable Lycra as the Sunset Mirage swimsuits, in the same warm shades, so you can buy the matching set and have the whole look ready in one go, or wear the cover up as a contrast over another piece.

Does resort wear run true to size?

Yes, our resort pieces are designed to run true to size, so your usual size is the right place to start. The cover ups are made to fall loosely over your swim, while the jumpsuits have a more defined shape, so check the size guide on each product page before you choose.

How do I care for linen and Lycra resort pieces?

Rinse Lycra cover ups in cool, fresh water after the beach and dry them flat away from direct heat. Linen is happiest washed gently and hung to dry, and a little crease is part of its charm, so there is no need to fuss. A little care keeps both looking their best, season after season.
