How To Wear Tropical Prints
Wearing a tropical print can be a tricky thing. At times these can seem reserved for glamorous stars to pull off, at the risk of looking like a touristy dad. But that doesn’t have to be the case! By simply paying attention to the pieces you’re picking out, you’ll find plenty of different ways to rock these vibrant patterns.
When going for these prints, remember to accessorize your pieces. Especially if you’re heading somewhere after your beach day. This easy addition will quickly take your pieces from beachy to glam!
Another important detail is choosing the right size of print for you. Due to their bright colors, tropical patterns can easily overwhelm those that are wearing them. To tone it down, opt either for a smaller motif on your tropical print or go for a solid pairing with your larger ones.
Lastly, make sure to pay attention to the cut and style of the pieces you’re wearing. If you want to venture into these types of prints but aren’t accustomed to their vibrant nature go for cuts and styles that you know will fit you well. If you want to soften the print a bit go for a more romantic and flirty style, perhaps with a halter neckline or ruffle details.
You can also always use your cover-up as a styling tool, opt for something more flowy and loose to contrast the intensity of the tropical print. If you’re a maximalist you can always opt for matching bright color to your swimsuit’s pattern.
All in all, tropical prints are already super chic and although they might be out of your comfort zone, with all the different styles and colors out there you’re sure to find something.
