Resort SS26 Prints & Patterns: 3-D Florals, Prints & Stripes

For Resort 2026, designers didn’t exactly reinvent the wheel when it came to prints and patterns—but they did prove that the classics still have serious staying power. Plaid, stripes, florals, and even animal prints took center stage once again. The twist? Prints are going fully trans-seasonal, especially in Resort collections that hang around from November to March.

Turn Up the Volume

3-D florals are blooming bigger than ever—literally. Designers are adding bold, sculptural blossoms to clothing, turning simple looks into wearable art. It’s a trend that’s been blossoming for years (hello, Dolce & Gabbana circa 2009) and it’s not losing steam anytime soon.

Bauble’s Hyacinth Dress is like stepping into a garden where every bloom was sculpted just for you. Layers of ruffles and hand-placed beads form lush floral bouquets, turning the 3-D floral trend into pure magic. Finished with a dainty bow at the back, it’s the perfect balance of drama and delicacy

On the Border

Border prints are making a quiet but striking statement, framing garments along the hemline for a longer, leaner silhouette. It’s the perfect touch for those who love detail without going over the top.

Slip into Bauble’s Printed Cotton Dress and it’s like wandering through a sun-drenched Sicilian village. The dainty blue pottery border print traces the hemline, giving you that long, graceful silhouette, while the 100% cotton fabric and floaty tiers make every step feel like a breeze. With its gathered empire bodice and airy charm, it’s made for market strolls, seaside lunches, and every golden hour in between.

Refined Lines

Stripes are the ultimate repeat guest in fashion’s rotation, but this season they’ve had a glow-up—sleeker, more sophisticated, and ready to elevate any look.

Turn heads this season with Bauble’s Teala Dress—the ultimate stripe glow-up. Featuring intricately woven zigzag patterns and softly scalloped stripes, this fitted midi flatters in all the right places. Double straps add a vintage touch, making it your go-to for daytime soirees, chic lounging, or sun-soaked escapes. Sophisticated, stylish, and endlessly wearable.

Fresh Paint

Some designers went full gallery mode this season. Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing channeled Monet’s dreamy Impressionism, while Tanya Taylor brought in the contemporary energy of Brooklyn painter Grace Weaver.


Bauble’s Penelope Dress isn’t just something you wear—it’s a scene-stealer in motion. The vintage-inspired floral print feels plucked from a timeless painting, while the premium fabric moves with a quiet kind of luxury. Delicate straps trace the shoulders, the elastic waist shapes the figure, and the open back adds that unexpected oh wow moment. 

Sheer Femininity

Sheer fabrics aren’t going anywhere, but Resort 26 is giving them a floral refresh—think airy dresses, skirts, and blouses layered with delicate all-over blooms for the ultimate feminine touch.


Want every head to turn the moment you walk in? Bauble’s Xanthia Dress delivers. Inspired by a late-20th-century sequined coat, it pairs delicate mesh with gilded floral appliqués for an ethereal yet opulent look. With its elegant lining, it’s made to shimmer, sway, and steal the spotlight.


Final Thoughts

Resort 2026 is proof that fashion loves to remix the familiar. From bold 3-D blooms and sleek border prints to art-inspired patterns and romantic sheers, these looks bring just enough freshness to keep things exciting. Whether it’s resort-ready plaids or season-defying florals, the message is clear—style has no expiration date, and the best trends are the ones that make you want to strut like every day’s a runway.
