Alice + Olivia and Coniglio Palm Beach debut breezy resort capsule

Alice + Olivia’s latest resort move leaned on two pieces every vacation wardrobe already knows: the button-down and the pareo. By recutting them through Coniglio Palm Beach’s codes, the brands made both feel less expected and more useful, with an oversized shirt and a ruffled wrap skirt that can move from poolside cover-up to dinner after dark.

The capsule arrived in Alice + Olivia’s seasonal prints, including a blue mosaic-inspired Solstice, a blue stripe and a bold Summer Poppy. The button-down was pitched as an effortlessly oversized shape with extra-long sleeves, an elongated hem and polished covered buttons, while the pareo came as a statement wrap skirt with cascading ruffles and an adjustable silhouette. On Alice + Olivia’s site, the shirt was priced at $195 and the pareo at $225, positioning the collaboration in that sweet spot where resortwear feels more considered than a beach souvenir, but still attainable enough to buy into as a look.

Coniglio Palm Beach brings the credibility here. The Palm Beach, Florida, label centers on Free Size™ and adjustable wear, a point of view built around clothes that shift with the body rather than pin it down. Moda Operandi says Christina Coniglio founded the brand in 2023, and its sizing is designed to fit sizes 0 through 18. That matters because the collaboration’s appeal is not a new silhouette for its own sake, but a familiar one made more adaptable, more flattering and easier to picture on a wider range of bodies.

Alice + Olivia, launched in 2002, has long traded in vibrant prints and polished whimsy, so the partnership reads as a natural extension of its identity rather than a sharp pivot. Stacey Bendet said the pieces were meant to feel “effortless, whimsical and endlessly wearable,” and that is exactly the pitch resort dressing needs right now: clothes that look photo-ready without feeling precious, and that can be styled as easily over swim as with sandals and jewelry at night.

Capsule collaborations like this are becoming one of the fastest ways for brands to refresh resort without inventing a whole new wardrobe language. The formula works because it is instantly legible. A button-down, a pareo, a strong print, a recognizable designer name: that is the kind of shorthand shoppers understand at a glance, and the kind they are most likely to save, send and wear.
