The Resort collections opened up a new world of doors for wide-legged pants. They've taken a backseat to the popular skinny leg for the past couple seasons, but the bell-bottomed '70s are back with a vengeance.

Am I the only one who likes to lie on a stylish towel when taking in the sun's rays. Come on, tell me you didn't love the Missoni towel in my July Must Haves. Or, the simple route is nice too, per Reese and Jake in their matching striped Twinkie towels.

Before you excuse this 1980s Missoni Dress ($95) for being too frumpy, hear me out. The thing about vintage is though it is oft one of a kind, it is also oft of another era. Read: old fashioned hemlines.

Traffic school classes aren't going to stop Nicole Richie from busting out all her cutest outfits. This time around she opted for a loose-fitting M Missoni dress and gold gladiator sandals.
