Explore the top texture trends shaping luxury resort wear in 2025—from 3D prints to sheer knits, buckles, and modern lace. A sensory-forward fashion shift.
Resort wear in 2025 invites a more tactile dialogue—one where texture isn’t ornamental, but integral. Gone are the days of flat cotton minimalism; in its place comes a richness in construction and material that redefines how the body engages with fabric. This season, designers are embracing dimension and detail with unapologetic clarity.
At the core of this shift is a newfound respect for how garments feel, not just how they look. From digitally engineered surfaces to hand-finished techniques, the industry is leaning into materiality as narrative. Below, a closer look at the textural elements shaping the new wave of resort dressing.
Lace, Redefined
Lace returns—less romantic, more modern. Graphic patterns and placement techniques make it feel sharp rather than sweet. Whether layered over swimwear or paneled into eveningwear, lace in 2025 carries a sense of confidence and construction. It's a delicacy with an edge.
MOEVA suggests Nola Shirt, Elysia Pants, Althea Dress, Aveline Dress
Fine-Gauge Knitwear: Second Skin Sensuality
Lightweight knits have emerged as a new form of sensuality—fluid, clingy, and unexpectedly luxurious. Whether it’s a translucent ribbed dress or a slinky halter-knit co-ord, these textures blur the line between resort and loungewear, offering comfort with structure and intention.
MOEVA suggests Agatha Dress, Anais Dress, Odessa Dress, Lane Top and Esmeralde Skirt Set
3D Printed Motifs: Precision Meets Play
In 2025, 3D printing has evolved past novelty. Designers are integrating digitally printed embellishments directly onto garments—turning swimwear straps and dress seams into architectural statements. These aren’t futuristic fantasies; they’re tactile realities, engineered to contour and accentuate without overwhelming.
MOEVA suggests Greta Top and Freya Pants, Hermione Bikini Set, Evita Sarong, Camilla Swimsuit
Buckled Accents and Structured Ease
Hardware has found a place in resort aesthetics, offering a utilitarian counterpoint to softness. Matte buckles, thin harness straps, and structured fastenings are strategically placed—appearing as both design and function. Think of them as punctuation marks on an otherwise fluid silhouette.
MOEVA suggests Zella Bikini Set, Siena Skirt, Coraline Dress, Lyra Swimsuit
The rise of texture in resortwear speaks to a broader fashion mood: a desire for depth over noise, feeling over flash. Whether printed, knitted, fastened, or embroidered—these tactile codes form the new language of resort luxury. They don’t shout; they surround. And most importantly, they stay with you long after you’ve left the beach.
With featured pieces from Moeva’s latest collection, each of these trends is not just observed—they’re embodied.
