Tropicana!

It’s like a global explosion of colour, print and… fruit, what more could you want for your spring/summer wardrobe.

This is the spring/summer trend that just fills me with warmth and happiness just looking at the clothes makes me long for long sunny days. However it’s not surprising this trend appears seeing as designers have been infatuated with many of this year’s trends ‘colour blocking’ and ‘graphic prints’ mixing the two together gives you the fresh and inviting Tropicana.

When first setting eyes on the fruity items that were in store for summer I was inspired by the whole quirkiness of it all, one of the first being Moschinos  zingy lemon dress which actually oozed with sophistication, something I didn’t really expect with fruit! I also loved the tutti frutti colours and global prints used in Suno’s collection.

I really enjoy the way you can mix it up to your own personality either by going all out and mixing prints over prints with bright tights and accessories or just keeping it simple with printed dresses and sandals or patterned trousers and t-shirts, it’s a trend that can be worn by anybody and it’s a great way of feeling in that holiday mood this summer.

So it’s time to give your wardrobe a healthy kick start to the summer and there’s no better way than the club Tropicana way!
