Oscar de la Renta Resort 2027: The Iris Collection Edit

Oscar de la Renta Resort 2027 is a garden collection built on the iris. The house painted it four ways, as Painted Iris, Iris Flowers, Large Iris Degrade and Watercolor Iris, and set it beside a sage stripey plaid, pale pink and light blue cotton poplin sateen, silk caftans and printed evening dresses. Luxury Handbags prices run from $3,030 to $21,320.

What is the Oscar de la Renta Resort 2027 collection?

Resort 2027 is the warm-weather collection that lands in stores ahead of spring. The brand files it as Pre-Spring 2027 on its own site and tags the pieces R27, so you will see all three names used for the same clothes. On Luxury Handbags it sits under Pre Spring 2027 in the Oscar de la Renta edit.

The house says the season starts with the landscapes of the Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla, with abstract wildflower meadows across a run of looks. It names the iris as the season’s signature flower. The palette it describes is sage, blossom pink and blue quartz, with brighter accents of red, peridot and mimosa yellow.

In practice that means a lot of crisp cotton. Most of the day pieces are stretch poplin made in Italy, lined in cotton voile, cut long and belted at the waist. The evening side moves into faille, silk chiffon and silk georgette.

Which iris prints are in Oscar de la Renta Resort 2027?

There are four, and two dresses at a similar price can look nothing alike.

Painted Iris

The smallest scale of the four: irises scattered over a blush ground, loose and painterly. It is the print that builds a full wardrobe. The Long Sleeve Painted Iris Poplin Blouse ($3,390) has a pointed collar and a buttoned front, and it matches the Painted Iris Poplin Pant ($3,030), a high-waisted wide trouser that runs to the floor. Worn together they read as a printed suit, the most relaxed way into the collection.

The Sleeveless Painted Iris Poplin Day Dress ($4,990) is the simplest dress in the season: round neck, bare arms, a self belt and an A line skirt to mid calf. Then there is the degrade version. On the Painted Iris Degrade Poplin A Line Skirt ($4,190) the flowers bank thickly at the hem in pink and violet and thin out to a white waist, so the print appears to grow up the skirt.

Iris Flowers

A denser, more botanical print in violet, pink and green on ivory. The Short Sleeve Iris Flowers Poplin Day Dress ($6,470) is long, to the ankle, with a belted waist and short sleeves, which makes it the one to choose for a church wedding where arms are best covered. Its sleeveless sister, the Sleeveless Iris Flowers Poplin Day Dress ($4,510), has slim straps and a pointed handkerchief hem.

Large Iris Degrade

Big blooms massed at the hem that fade toward the bodice. The most striking version is the Sleeveless Large Iris Degrade Printed Lace Day Dress ($9,390), where the print is laid over white lace with a silk lining underneath. The flowers look half painted, half woven. The same print on poplin appears on the Sleeveless V Neck Large Iris Degrade Poplin Dress ($5,510), with a deep V and a full skirt.

Watercolor Iris

The softest of the four, with washes of colour and very little outline. In poplin it becomes the Sleeveless Watercolor Iris Poplin Day Dress ($5,830), pink blooms over pale green leaves with a square neck and a skirt gathered to the ankle. In faille it becomes the evening piece of the print story, the Sleeveless Large Watercolor Iris Faille Gown ($11,510): purple irises on white, a square neck, slim straps and a straight column to the floor.

What is the stripey plaid?

It is the one print in the collection that is not a flower. Brushstrokes of sage and white cross each other to make a soft, hand-drawn check.

The Long Sleeve Stripey Plaid Jersey Day Dress ($6,150) is the traveller’s choice. It is stretch jersey, so it packs without creasing, with a collar, a buttoned bodice, a belt and a long fluid skirt. The Long Sleeve Stripey Plaid Silk Twill Blouse ($4,190) is cut boxy and short with a camp collar, which suits a high-waisted trouser. A Sleeveless Stripey Plaid Poplin Day Dress ($5,510) completes the set.

How does the cotton poplin sateen look in pale pink and light blue?

Poplin sateen has a gentle sheen that plain poplin lacks, and in solid colour it is the quietest part of the collection. The Sleeveless Stretch Cotton Poplin Sateen Day Dress ($5,510) comes in pale pink with a halter that ties at the back of the neck, a slim belt closed by a gold flower and a skirt gathered to the ankle.

In light blue, the Cotton Poplin Sateen Circle Skirt ($3,390) is a full circle from a fitted waist to the lower calf. Pair it with the Short Sleeve Cotton Poplin Sateen Blouse ($3,190) in the same blue, which has a band collar, a jewelled button at the throat and ties at the elbow. Together they make a matching set that will also split into separates you wear with denim and knits.

What evening pieces are in Resort 2027?

Fewer than in a main season, and more relaxed. The caftans lead. The Draped Sleeve Mixed Botanical On Lace Caftan ($13,150) is silk georgette in light blue that falls in a long column from sleeves that open like a cape, with botanical embroidery on lace across the shoulders. The Off Shoulder Draped Detail Georgette Caftan ($9,070) is cobalt blue silk georgette with a drape knotted at one side under a jewelled pin.

For cocktail hours the Sleeveless Abstract Garden Faille Cocktail Dress ($8,270) prints broad strokes of violet, yellow and green on a dark ground. The faille holds a full skirt below the knee and it is lined in silk. If you prefer something darker, the Sleeveless Sequin Tweed Cocktail Dress ($5,830) is navy wool tweed woven with tiny sequins, cut as a mid-calf column.

The black-tie piece is the Sleeveless Abstract Landscape Chiffon Gown ($21,320), pleated silk chiffon from a plunging halter to the floor, printed in violet and green and made in the United States. It is the most expensive piece in the Resort 2027 edit on Luxury Shoes . For the full evening offer across seasons, see our guide to Oscar de la Renta dresses.

Is there knitwear in the collection?

Yes, and the twinset is the piece to know. The Printed Twinset Cardigan ($4,510) and the Printed Twinset Tank ($3,030) are knitted in Italy from cotton and viscose and printed with the Painted Iris on blush. The cardigan is cropped with a round neck, and the tank is made to sit under it. Worn with the light blue circle skirt, it is the most Oscar de la Renta outfit in the season.

The Embroidered Cardigan ($4,510) is plainer: ivory wool with a spray of pink and green irises embroidered up one side of the front, like a brooch.

Which bag goes with Oscar de la Renta Resort 2027?

The Iris Printed Saffiano O Pochette in Blue ($3,390) puts the painted iris print on Saffiano calfskin, framed by the house’s O emblem. It closes with a push-lock and carries on a detachable chain strap, so it works across the body by day and as a clutch at night. A brown colourway costs the same. If you want a plain version to wear with every print, the earlier O Pochette in Black is $2,410.
