Resort casual is looking nice while still being casual. And typically what that means is wearing nice khaki pants, maybe with a polo shirt, or with a short sleeved collared shirt. Also for women that could mean a nice pair of Bermuda shorts, with a nice polo shirt as well or nice blouse. What you want to do is avoid cut-off shorts or T shirts. A lot of times, jeans will be nice that you can wear, designer jeans and also sometimes you can wear a nice pair of sandals or a nice pair of slip-on shoes. What the key is, is to look casual but still be able to fit into a little bit more semi-formal environments.
