Winter may bring to mind cozy sweaters, snowy landscapes, and warm fires, but for those lucky enough to escape to sunnier shores, it’s time to embrace a different kind of winter style: resort chic. Whether you’re jetting off to the Caribbean, soaking up the sun in Mexico, or lounging poolside at a luxury tropical resort, the right swimwear can elevate your getaway style. Enter Johanna Ortiz, a Colombian designer known for her sophisticated, feminine designs that effortlessly combine tropical allure with high-end elegance. If you’re looking to elevate your winter vacation wardrobe, Johanna Ortiz swim and resort wear is the perfect choice.

I popped in her store on Madison Avenue in December and wanted to try literally everything on! Her use of bold, vibrant prints, flattering, feminine silhouettes and chic, seasonal trims + details set her apart from the rest. One item in particular that stood out to me was this beautifully draped top featuring a print inspired by the designer’s home city of Cali, Colombia. The neckline is so unique, and it’s perfectly cropped for pairing with skirts or high-waisted pants + shorts! You also don’t want to miss the dresses featuring straw tassels like this – obsessed!
