I read somewhere that those tropical Hawaiian shirts are in. Let’s be honest, most of us wouldn’t go near our dad’s “beach leisure” shirt but versions of this can be pulled off. Normally I would pass on such a loud statement but right now, this sun shiny month, I’m into it. Aside from the obvious nod to vacation, I kind of love how such a bold print stands out on the beach with a simple black or white swimsuit. Whether you accessories with a head scarf or go for a maxi dress covered with palm fronds and exotic birds, remember this little style tip, keep the rest simple and classic.

I pulled this favorite out by Iris Von Armin and loved the mood it put me in—”pass me a margarita” kind of agenda. Also it made me realize how much fun you can have complimenting a happy print like this one. From retro cat eye sunglasses to playful jewelry. It sent me on a mild hunt to find more of the trend…
