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, 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.
We’re obsessed with this dress, and at such an affordable price it’s definitely a steal. This sleeveless dress is fully lined, super breathable and so cute and effortless.
This tropical inspired kimono is so luxe and sultry. Perfect for chilling poolside, at the beach, or even lounging around your house paired with a slip dress and your favorite pair of slides.
We love an adorable mini smocked dress like this one. If you are looking to incorporate tropical vibes into your wardrobe, you don’t need to go for bright greens and large palm leaves. A piece like this embraces the trend in a subtle way while still remaining fresh, cute, and vacation festive.
There are a variety of tropical-inspired phone cases on Amazon but we love how this one offers extra protection, has a clear backing so you can still see your phone, and mixes in green with gold (a gorgeous color combo). Available in 6 other patterns totally worth checking out.
This is a fun way for your kids to decorate their hydroflasks, laptops, phone cases, etc. and they can easily remove them when they want to redecorate. Comes with a pack of 62 pieces.
These fairy lights are perfect for entertaining and give off a gorgeous yellow glow. Decorate your outdoor patio or a space in the house that’s needing some summer love.
Digital or painted wall art is a wonderful way to elevate any space, big or small. Especially great for dorm rooms or college apartments and a low commitment investment.
