tropical print

Palm leaf design

Tropical print refers to fabric patterns featuring lush imagery associated with warm climates—palm fronds, hibiscus flowers, exotic birds, monstera leaves.

The style evokes vacation destinations and leisure: a tropical print shirt, tropical print swimwear.

Hawaiian shirts are the classic example, though the aesthetic appears on everything from dresses to home décor.
