With her Cuban presentation (complete with guests Fidel and Che), Stella McCartney may have offered the most literal bit of Latin flair this season, but with hothouse blooms everywhere from Proenza Schouler to Marc Jacobs, it seems safe to say fashion's enjoying its Southern exposure.

Topping the list of Resort's feminine wiles was the return of the pleat, particularly of the sunburst sort. With delicate takes from designers as disparate as Christopher Kane and Oscar de la Renta's Peter Copping, these looks are made for twirling.

The culotte has enjoyed quite a reign on the runways of late, so it should come as little surprise that fashion's next favorite pant wouldn't be too far off. Enter the cropped flare: Whittled through the leg and kicked out at the hem, this is the shape your wardrobe is missing.

Stow away your frills. This season's ruffle is oversize, cascading, and, in leather, more than a little badass.

Way beyond basic, in fact, the season's new furs are pieced together in graphic intarsias and punched-up hues, and are every bit as luxe as they look.

Nautical may be nothing new, but Resort set sail with a contemporary take on the old classic. As envisioned by everyone from Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa to Thakoon Panichgul, this season's seafaring styles come in black and white.

Donatella herself dubbed blush "the new white," and it was so. While Versace may not typically be associated with pastel shades, the house hit on a winning ratio of sweet to sharp.

The motto of Resort's maximalist take on color-blocking: Why wear one shade when you can wear them all?

Sexed-up without showing too much skin, the neckline of the season was without a doubt off-the-shoulder, whether clean-cut as at Christopher Kane or draped à la Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci. Just don't skimp on the sunscreen.

A wild card if ever there was one, Resort's most surprising trend was the head-to-toe (or almost, if you're Michael Kors) pink suit.
