Tropical prints are making a splash in wardrobes this spring. What's your take? Accessories available at hai-ha.ca.

Anything with tropical prints can make you feel instantly happy and think of an amazing vacation in the sun. Tropical influences and prints are all the rage this season, and it makes sense since it’s the perfect transitional element.

It’s fun, colourful and perfect for vacation getaway outfits. Since spring is coming, it makes sense that you’d want to buy things that would suit your spring wardrobe and forget about the winter.

Palm tree leaves, florals, different tones of green with splashes of pink, orange and fruits against a crisp white canvas make for the perfect prints.

It can be easy to overdo this print, but with good styling, you can wear the separates together if the print is matching. Pairing it with other textures like crochet and lace will ooze the breezy vacation feel that you want with a tropical print.

Accessories are the most important with these outfits because the weather allows you more freedom in wearing whatever you want. You can show a little skin and wear accessories that embellish the skin like body chains or hand chains.

The best way to start styling an outfit with tropical influences is easy – pick a piece you love. It can be a pair of printed shorts, a cute top, handbag or even accessory and build your outfit around that.

In this case, the amazing shorts were the feature of the outfit. Styling it with a cream crochet crop top still looked amazing and the two neutrals don’t clash. The Elyria body chain makes the outfit more interesting and less conventional than the usual beachy-looking outfits. A full set of accessories complete with hand chains and a head chain add a gypsy and glam bohemian touch that is really on-trend this season.

Tropical prints are perfect for an outfit to the beach, to grab some ice cream, frozen yogurt or even to a music festival this spring. Basically anything that is supposed to be fun, care free and any relaxing occasion is perfect for this print and trend. It can make you feel so pretty and stylish instantly, and isn’t that the best when you have an outfit that makes you look and feel great for this spring?
