Etro Resort 2026 Ready to Wear Collection Review

Marco De Vincenzo is not holding back. His unbridled approach to Etro’s patterned world seen on the runway for fall 2025 was reiterated for resort 2026, as he’s well aware the commercial effort has to sit on the shelves for many months and please customers’ different demands. 

Hence the freewheeling mix of moods, shapes, textures, fabric weights and colors in this eccentric lineup, which could look overwhelming but, by breaking down each piece, every Etro customer could find a little something to spice up her or his wardrobe.

Looking for a ruffled summer dress? Plenty to choose from. Mini or floor-length, long-sleeve or charmingly sitting off the shoulders, these came covered in animalier prints intertwined with the house’s paisley motif or cut from cotton vichy layered with florals; crafted from emerald silk fil coupè, or printed with a plethora of botanical themes and trimmed with lace.

Need a more daily piece? Not to worry. Checkered suits punctuated with little geometric motifs sat next to embroidered denim jackets and printed flared jeans covered in flowers or paisley, while tapestry-like cropped jackets mingled with stunning jacquard knits — also offered for men, where the proposition had a tonal approach to patterns, as seen in workwear and tailoring alike.

Sure, those more inclined to solid colors might have to squint through the look book images, but eventually they could find a handful of separates that fit the bill, like suede jackets and miniskirts or beach-ready, fringed crochet dresses and pants with a ‘70s vibe. If feeling particularly daring, they can also give De Vincenzo’s sporty polos and cardigans in flashy colorblocking a try. 

“The beauty of this brand is that you don’t need a theme. Etro is the theme,” said De Vincenzo. “This company has a wide, coded language. Dealing with the same ingredients [season after season] might sound limiting, but in truth it’s really fun because with little shifts and tweaks you can have many elements and aesthetics coexisting.”

This was certainly the case for this collection, which sacrificed cohesiveness to display Etro’s graphic and textural richness and versatility in full force.

“For us mixing patterns is the norm: our goal is not eliminating them but make sure they look good when combined,” said De Vincenzo. “It might be too much for many people, but not for those coming into our stores.”
