A resort is a great place for people watching and with more than 700 rooms, Riu Dunamar certainly provided us with lots of people to watch! I was, of course, particularly interested in seeing what everyone was wearing. The introvert in me has never been bold enough to approach a stranger and ask her if I could photograph her for the blog, but I did spend awhile one afternoon surreptitiously taking pictures so that I could share some resort wear with you today.
Lightweight swimsuit cover-ups that went from beach or poolside to buffet were by far the most popular item for women and it seemed that no two were exactly alike.
Some were colourful and flowy…
while others were black…
Some were long and others were short…
Crochet styles were very popular…
This was one of my favourites…
I also loved a versatile blue and white striped shirt style cover-up that one woman wore. Though I saw her several times, I didn’t get a photo, but her cover-up looked very similar to this one. Not only could it be worn open or buttoned up over a swimsuit, but she could also have worn it over shorts, capris or leggings or even layered over a dress on a cool evening.
Overall, the resort was pretty casual as far as dress was concerned. Swimsuits were not allowed in the main buffet restaurant without a cover-up and while the dress code for the other restaurants states that men must wear long pants, collared shirts, and shoes, not sandals, that doesn’t seem to be very strictly enforced. We definitely saw men in dressy shorts and sandals. Some women dressed similarly while others wore dresses. Next week, I’ll show you a little bit of what I wore.

Hello, I did try to post in the comments but it did not work. I wanted to say that the blue and white shirt was by far the most attractive cover up- of course so much is in the way it is shown/worn and the body it is on! A model can make a sack look half way decent! The other note was to say how we so often forget how we look from behind, it can make or break the look. Thanks Jan
I’m sorry that there was a problem posting your comment. Thankfully, the issue seems to have been resolved because I see it now.
You are right on both counts… the same garment can look very different on two different people and yes, we do need to pay attention to how an outfit looks from the back as well as the front. Whenever possible, I use a three way mirror when trying things on.
