The Latest Tropical Print Trend

If you feel that prints should be left to beach-wear, and don’t know how to use them in casual everyday outfits, start with some printed accessories.

Shoes are our favorite for the tropical print trend. Wear a bright pair of tropical print pumps and keep the rest of your outfit plain and casual. Or if you want something more laid-back, try these sneakers by Adidas. Similarly you can add tropical prints to your outfit with a scarf or even a sling bag.




If you want to make more of a statement, try something in muted tones, like these Tory Burch tapered pants. The print is super exaggerated with the right combination of colors giving it a very cool look.

Go head to toe with this print with a midi-dress. The key to work with gigantic loud prints is to have them like an artwork and not like a repetitive pattern, to keep the eye moving with interest. This Dolce & Gabbana dress ends with light ruffles, playing with the mermaid style in a really subtly way.

Print mixing was hands down one of the most popular trends of last year. In 2016, you can take this trend up a notch by breaking the print with a solid color panel or going in for a two piece matching print, like this co-ord set.




Be it summer or monsoon, a vacation or a beach-outing – a printed shirt is a fashion staple. They are so versatile and can be worn in many ways. Try one in tropical prints with shorts, culottes, over a dress, with jeans or knotted to make it look like a crop top.
