Tropical is not to be missed this season. Designers love it, and so do we. Packed with punchy prints and colour clashes, it’s fashion that gets you noticed. Last month, our Curve Project ladies loved the tropical side to our SS14 collection. They found it to be both flattering and super-stylish. And with the arrival of spring, we can’t wait to start wearing this gorgeous trend.
Tempted by tropical? Here are three key looks to get you thinking.
Tropical Chic
What’s so great about this trend is its versatility. It goes from one extreme to the other – subtle to statement style. Taking inspiration from Peter Pilotto’s interpretation of tropical, we’re starting with easy to wear, elegant looks – tropical that wouldn’t look out of place at the hotel bar, cocktail in hand.
Pilotto’s SS14 range combines classic, feminine cuts with botanical beauty. His collection is daring but demure, adding an edge to staple holiday wear. Curvissa achieve tropical chic with this Tropical Print Sleeveless Top.
This piece is best teamed with white trousers and cork wedges. Keep accessories to a minimum with a wooden bangle, and let the print speak for itself.
Cool and Casual
Alternatively, keep it casual. Designers are leaving smart, tailored cuts to one side in favour of relaxed, easy-to-wear fashion. Etro achieved this with their floral shorts and loose fitted trousers. They make style seem effortless.
Picture Tropical Print Harem Trousers, gladiator sandals and a plain white tee. It’s a great look for holiday adventures. Combining style and comfort in one fashionable swoop, these trousers are fun, flattering and low maintenance. Prepare for lots of compliments in these harems – we love them!
Bold Style
If you’re ready to truly go tropical, be bold. Think statement style that doesn’t shy away from the spotlight. Striking colours, assertive prints and eye-catching style. Our Tropical Print Top captures the trend beautifully.
Its standout print breaks convention. Super-summery, the burst of colour suggests confidence without being too over the top. Our advice? Shop outside your comfort zone and step into the new season in something different – bold tropical prints are the perfect start.
Are you braving all things tropical? We can’t wait to hear what you’re wearing this summer!
