W ho to know IN PALM BEACH

By Rosanna Pérez

Sally Kimball Owner Of Classic Collections Of Palm Beach

What is the appeal of Palm Beach? Just as there is only one Paris or Rome, there is only one Palm Beach. Its classic, natural beauty, low-key atmosphere and access to the best of the best of hotels, restaurants, shopping and cultural venues will always entice those who appreciate the very best. Style is everything in this town.

What are the trends? A more casual approach to fashion is the new normal. Both daytime and evening dresses consists of loose, flowy, linen pieces, light-weighted matching silk outfits and tropical printed sleeveless dresses, shorts and skirts. Seen are low heels, slip on mules and fabric flats, big and bright jewelry made of natural straw, feathers and wood as well as handbags that are colorful and lightweight.

Are we going to see any long gowns and galas anytime soon?

Unfortunately, most likely no. Many of the famous charity balls have been cancelled and recast as virtual events. Small at home parties are the norm now and hostesses and guests are wearing beautiful caftans, silk palazzo pants, linen outfits and jeweled sandals. Fine jewelry still remains important! 118 N County Rd, Palm Beach FL 33480
