Resort wear is undeniably associated with coastal holidays. The origins of resort wear fashion date back to the end of the 19th century, when railroad travel started to become accessible to the wider public. People suddenly had access to locations that were once too far or too hard to get to by other means of travel. At the time, many of the best hotels were built by lakes or the sea. Guests were required to wear different types of clothing for different activities, which created demand for light comfortable clothing that allowed the wearer to move freely.
