Tropical Prints: Pineapples

In relation to my post the other day about tropical floral prints, there is another tropical print that I have been seeing basically everywhere, and it is just too cute. It seems (at least to me) that every summer a different fruit print comes into style (strawberries, watermelons, lemons, etc.), and this year it looks like it is the pineapple's turn.


I feel like pineapples are very underrated, and most people overlook them when talking about their favourite fruit. Plus they are adorable to look at, especially on garments and accessories this summer. Fruit prints are awesome to wear. because you can mix and match them and make your outfit into a little fruit salad, or leave the print to one part of your outfit (for example, shorts) and do a solid colour  on the top (for example, a green tank). Colours that look good with the pineapple print are pink, green, and baby blue, as they just make it feel so tropical and beachy, but feel free to go colour crazy with your pineapples!

Tropical Prints: Flowers

I feel like florals are a very obvious trend for spring (cue The Devil Wears Prada quote), and so I wasn't really planning on making a post about the floral trend. That is not to say that I don't love florals, that I don't wear them, or that I think they should stop showing them for spring (because that is not the case at all). But a fairly new trend we've been seeing is not just a floral pattern, but a tropical floral pattern. And that is something I can definitely get behind and make a post about.



Probably one of my favourite things about tropical floral print is the use of bold colours, like turquoise, pink, and yellow. Another thing I love about it is that the flowers are usually abstract, with other shapes in the print (like lines and squiggles), and that just adds to the uniqueness and beauty of the item, because every one is so different.
