Hawaiian print tends to get a pretty bad rap. Lately, however, this bold botanical print has been enjoying a comeback of sorts. With summer looming here in Australia (sorry if this is just rubbing it in your face northern hemisphere folk) my mind keeps wandering to bright colours and boisterous tropical prints. Particularly anything pineapple related. Without having to resort to your dad’s Hawaiian shirt, these are a few items that embrace the tropical trend and are, dare I say it, very tropicool.

Me too! Pity it's so pricey 😐
I've always seen these prints as 'I'm on holiday in Hawaii/Fiji', and have therefore never indulged – I'm not cut out for island life. The sun is not my friend.
However I have felt the allure recently – especially with palm prints, and similarly pineapple prints. I bought some palm print togs from ASOS the other day… I'm excited to wear them next weekend. I just need some matching boardshorts… hmm.
I'm after some palm print pants or a skirt – Maurie & Eve have some awesome prints atm. I have a pineapple print bikini I'm still yet to wear. Hurry up beach weather!
I get why people don't like traditional Hawaiian (or Goa shirts, as we call them here) because they can seem so campy. But that's one of the reasons why I love them! Everything in this collage looks so pretty, thanks for sharing! 🙂

Last summer lots of hipster guys were wearing Hawaiian shirts at all the music festivals so no wonder it's more mainstream for guys now haha
Great stuff 🙂
Loving these sweet and busy prints – while I'm not sure that I'm bold enough to wear them, I always appreiciate the colour and fun that these kinds of print bring. Those sandals though, ummm yum!
I have the sandals in the turquoise colour – so fun!
mmm love it all! makes me want summer x
