Unless you live on an island or have found a way to *safely and comfortably* travel somewhere tropical, most of us are spending this summer a little differently. Many Americans are taking road trips, hiking, renting a cabin in the mountains or by a lake, or having picnics at the park. I definitely miss my summers visiting Southeast Asia — lounging at a resort in Bali or enjoying water activities on the beautiful beaches of Thailand, soaking up the culture and enjoying the tropics. This year, we’re reimagining the tropical experience through fashion and home accessories. If we can’t go there, we can bring it here right? Tropical prints are a sunny, refreshing alternative to the florals we wear all year round. Think large palm leaves, pineapples, and mimosas. Here are our favorite picks if you’re looking to embrace vacation mode wherever you are.
