If I am going to ‘do’ prints, then they need to be bold, retro and preferably green – step forward the leaf print.
I am not fussy about the type of leaf. If I had to choose a favourite, it would obviously be a palm print. But anything tropical will do! Ferns, monstera or banana leaves… they all appeal to me. I guess they conjure up the lush foliage of the Caribbean and instantly put me in a relaxed holiday vibe.
Leaf prints generally provide all my favourite aesthetics: tropical, retro, bold & green. But I will take any colour-way! I love the retro look of black palms – remember Del Boy’s wallpaper? – and just look a the gorgeous Zara trousers further down…
There are so many beautiful leaf prints on offer right now. If you follow me on Instagram, you will know I have recently purchased a couple of tropical items… to add to my existing collection!!
If, like me, you have a penchant for the palm and love a leaf print, then here’s some ideas for you…
Clockwise: New Look £22.99; New Look £19.99; Vans £49.99; Zara £79.99.
The Zara dress above is just TO DIE for. I absolutely adore it! But alas, no occasion planned so far this summer that would justify the purchase. Plus I really think I now own enough tropical print, otherwise my wardrobe will start to resemble that of Carmen Miranda – all I’ll need is a fruit hat!!
So do you share my love of leaf prints?
