How to wear tropical prints :
Go with bold colored shoes , or some basic colour , like black , nude or brown . Bold would be fun if it was sandals that picked up one of the colours in the tropical-patterned item that you wear .
Have fun with accessories ! If the shoes will be the highlight of the outfit , balance the rest of the look out . A bright pair of sunglasses might help . Look for Keen Fashion ’ s mustard framed sunglasses , or alternatively - milk white frames . Don ’ t add on too much texture !
Keep your hair simple . Think surfer chic – a textured top knot , long Demi Moore – style straight strands , or allday-at-the-beach waves .
Find a tropical-themed item that suits your body type . No butt ? Get a fun pair of tropical print shorts or skirt . Try Keen Fashion ’ s tropical print shorts in black . Busty ? A tropical tank on a dark background ( Keen Fashion ) would work for you .
Petite ? A tropical romper would be fabulous . Try Keen Fashion ’ s pink tropical print romper . Fulller figured ? A tropical print bathing suit ( Keen Fashion ) will be just perfect .
Remember to make every look your own by wearing it , not letting it wear you . Carry yourself with confidence and embrace this beautiful weather while outside this season ! If you accessorize , check yourself in the mirror before you go out – are you making a statement or screaming it ? As Coco Chanel said : “ Always take off one piece of jewelry before you leave the house ”, which is so true , when you are wearing a strong look , like prints .
