Not really my style. However I have one tropical dress because every year I get invited to a an event that I need this attire! When that dress falls apart I guess I'll stay home! Lol

Since I live in Florida, I feel right at home in tropical themed clothes and accessories. It's everywhere, all year round.

I would have a beach near if not for Baja Oklahoma (known to some as "Texas").

That being said, I love tropical prints for summer!  I can't imagine summer without them!

I live nowhere near the beach either but I love the beach pants  and the tropical prints.  

I like colors and patterns.  I'm not a big animal print person and love flowers and stuff like that.  

My husband teases me and says you and Elvis dress a like sometimes.  In your face style.  He knows I am an Elvis nut.  I told him Elvis wouldn't wear this but he would of dated someone in this .  Ha ha

Must be the "in" thing this year. 

I'm just not a fan of this design when there's no tropical beach on my holiday horizon.

How about you?  Do you like this motif for your fashion corner of the summer world?

Most of them are so gawdy. There is a way to do tropical and a way not to do tropical.

Why must tropical prints only be wore in beachy places?  Should animal prints only be wore on the farm or in the jungle?   Stripes only wore in prison?  

Just a few examples of how the fashion industry controls your thinking about what, when and where you wear a certain type of clothing.

If you like it and feel good in any clothing WEAR IT!

Not big bold prints of any kind! But I did get 2 small, sedate tropical print dresses when I visited Hawaii.

Have to confess I did a blouse in such a print.  Olive background with red stuff.

Did it back in the 90s I think.  Funny how fashion circles round and round.

I love tropical prints for Spring and Summer.  But I live in a sub-tropical climate where it's warm or hot for most of the year (NOLA) so these prints fit right in.  Almost no one is running around in all black around here - except for a few Goths ha ha.  I can understand why ladies living elsewhere don't have much desire for tropical prints.  Glad that isn't me, because I do love my prints.

I like & wear most prints, but I don't wear tropical prints. I think they look cute on others in warm weather, but they're just too big and bold for my style. They are definitely trending this year. 

I had a bright blue cap sleeve top that had bold tropical flowers printed on one shoulder and on the opposite bottom hem. I wore it in summer in the city and on beach trips with white pants and shorts, but I never really loved it. I finally donated it.
