The Next Big Trend: Palm Royale

Dropping this week on AppleTV+ is a show that will set this season’s warm weather

style: Palm Royale. Why do you ask?

Set in 1969 in Palm Beach, Florida, the scenery is beautiful, but the fashion is the next

level—think Jackie O. The style’s foundation is bright colors and florals, but more

importantly, their shape is key.

During this era, clothes were distinguished by their tailoring which highlighted the

feminine shape of a woman using darts, and other refinements. Such tailoring with

clean lines makes these pieces timeless, excluding the caftan.

The show collaborated with the Real Real and Anthropologie whereby you can shop

curated pieces which reflect the show’s style. If you’re interested in striking out on your

own, find the best vintage thrift store in your area. You may find some gems that are

less expensive than new garments and therefore are less of an investment.

Beyond these two retailers, the style is in beautiful display at Nordstroms with shirtwaist

dresses (Eleventy), pleated skirts, and dresses with floral patterns, like the Oscar de la

Renta hollyhock floral dress. I had the chance to try on the hollyhock dress and it’s

shape instantly makes you feel beautiful—see it on my Insta post.

In addition to tailored garments, accessories like a pastel-colored raffia bag or the small

square wrist bags reflect the era, while adding benefits of more modern features like a

cell phone pocket. Big brightly colored earrings are also on trend.

In the end, you can choose to embrace the trend at a variety of price points. I plan to

find an investment piece or two with an eye toward this timeless style.

Tammy’s Truism: As is with any trend, make sure it reflects your personal style otherwise you won’t wear it.
