It looks like tropical prints are here to stay. They graced the spring/summer shows and they have effortlessly made their way to resort and fall 2016 collections, seen at Roberto Cavalli’s and Fendi’s resort 2016 runway show as well as Prada’s and Emanual Ungaro’s fall 2016 shows. The vibrant shapes and colours of an exotic tropical print add punch to simple streamline outfits. Pretty printed dresses are bold, striking and feminine; whilst adding a touch of tropical worn as an accessory as shoes, a bag or a neck scarf creates a stylish on-trend, glamorous look.
