Tropical fashion: bright colors, welcoming the sunshine filled with vitamins
In the tropics, summers are very sunny, and autumns and winters are not too cold. However, when March comes, the sky is covered with bright sunshine, which is the right time to explore the diversity of bright youthful colors - indispensable in tropical fashion style. The costumes here change from the gentle pastel colors of spring to the more cheerful shades of fresh cream and tropical fruits.

The vibrant colors not only bring a feeling of fresh energy but also express the open-minded and life-loving personality of the people of the tropics. Here, people always find joy and freedom in wearing colorful, unique, dynamic and attractive clothes.

Tropical nature prints invite followers to step into the brilliant space of the windy and sunny land, not only on the beach but also in the office, adding new energy for each effective working day.

Minimalist design clothes that emphasize comfortable materials are the priority choice of people here. Patterned dresses, maxi dresses, shorts, and floral dresses are popular outfits that are favored for their simplicity and ease of wear. Luxurious, airy materials close to nature such as linen and cotton help reduce heat and create a feeling of complete comfort when moving in the sun and wind.
Tropical prints: welcome the new day in a fresh spirit
Patterns, once considered the image of the aristocracy, but no one could have predicted how widespread this "tornado" of floral patterns could be in the fashion industry. Natural patterns are constantly receiving a lot of love, not only in the interior design field but also in fashion, naturally on the list of tropical fashion patterns that cannot be ignored. Amidst the vast waves, blue sea, white sand, patterns are the factor that contributes to creating the energetic breath of tropical fashion. Tropical prints such as plants, flowers, birds, etc. appear throughout the collections, bringing freedom, femininity and fashion, infiltrating the wardrobes of fashionistas, and gaining more and more love every day. There are many choices for women to "transform" diversely and mark their personal style. And you know, each pattern of plants and flowers has its own story, each story is a declaration of fashion style. For example, the patterns simulating palm trees of famous fashion houses Versace, Valentino or Salvatore Ferragamo bring coolness to dispel the hot summer of the tropics. Dolce & Gabbana is inspired by fruits and flowers for its clothing and accessory designs.
And because the pattern has fully conveyed the message for the outfit, the cool and sustainable material, comfortable and minimalist design focusing on the cut and stitching are important factors that create class for the outfit.
Classic motifs of tropical fashion:
Fresh leaf pattern
No color brings a more comfortable and oxygen-filled feeling than the green of leaves. Whether it is Asian yellow skin or Western white skin, the color of the tropical forest is always a dose of healthy vitamins for the outfit. Palm leaves, coconut leaves, banana leaves... wearing diverse green colors always bring endless inspiration to fashion lovers, when bringing the feeling of being immersed in the tropical forest, breathing fresh air.
In 1937, decorator Dorothy Draper painted the first banana leaves for the Arrowhead Springs Hotel, and the leaf designs were born. In 1975, the banana leaf motif became synonymous with Hollywood after a photo of actress Margaux Hemingway in her room at the Beverly Hills Hotel was published.

Peony pattern
As the queen of flowers, the peony pattern symbolizes wealth and nobility. It is called the queen of flowers because in the past, the peony pattern only appeared through silk printing or hand embroidery techniques on expensive fabrics, especially Chinese silk, and only the wealthy European classes could afford it. Over time, the peony pattern was no longer limited to the aristocracy but gradually became more widely used. We can see this pattern on clothing designs or on accessories such as phone cases, watch faces, handbags, etc.

Sunflower pattern
After the Victorian era, this was the golden age of one of the popular summer motifs at that time – the sunflower motif. Like some other floral motifs, the “sun” flower motif appeared on interior decoration. Depending on the needs of the users, they began to be embroidered on fabrics. Sunflowers are loved for their cheerful yellow color and the meaning: always facing the sun – an image with positive connotations, reminding people to always live happily and optimistically.

Romantic floral motifs
Chrysanthemum, rose, carnation patterns... were printed and embroidered on silk fabrics in the 18th century. This is considered the period when floral patterns appeared widely throughout Europe, especially France. This trend was gradually woven by the meticulous hands of artisans and spread on the graceful, charming dresses of women of the aristocracy. Similar to other flowers, these European-style floral patterns are no longer reserved for the upper class, but now they are gradually becoming more widespread and closer to the public. From there, they have become one of the most sought-after summer patterns. Similar to sunflowers, this bright pattern is very flexible with all skin tones. Girls who want to show off their charm and femininity can choose to wear dresses with patterns of these flowers.

Although floral and plant motifs are considered summer motifs, you can wear them at any time, depending on the color of the motif, the style of the outfit and the place you go. If you have fallen in love with summer motifs, regardless of your appearance, skin tone and personality, you can still confidently and creatively coordinate outfits with natural motifs.

This is a great choice for any outfit with shorts, skirts, jeans, dynamic walking, free to work, helping you feel comfortable, flexible and pleasant.

The coastal paradises along the S-shaped Vietnam such as Nha Trang, Da Nang, Quy Nhon not only attract tourists from all over the world because of their beautiful beaches but also remind them of their explosive patterned outfits with typical tropical nuances.

High waisted pants
High-waisted pants are always a safe and fashionable choice in any season, especially youthful when combined with crop tops. Regardless of the soft, flowing material like chiffon, cotton, or the elegant, form-fitting linen, or the tight, healthy-looking jeans, high-waisted pants are especially favored by women in the tropics. With the dynamic, adventurous, and fluttering nature all day, high-waisted pants not only help women here to highlight their body curves, creating a highlight for their outfits, but also allow them to move comfortably all day long. High-waisted pants are easy to combine with T-shirt, shirt or blouse designs, confidently appearing anywhere.
Maxi dress
Coming to the tropics, maxi dresses are always an indispensable fashion item. No matter what your body shape is, you can confidently walk down the street in white maxi dresses with graceful, sweet patterns. Maxi brings a fresh breeze to dispel the heat and revive vitality. With soft materials and cool patterns, maxi dresses are always the true love outfit for ladies coming to the tropics. Patterned maxi dresses bring a sexy beauty and are full of freedom, full of vibrant colors.
Tassel
The difference, clearly showing the identity of tropical fashion is the designs "racing" with fringes. Originally a characteristic of the costumes of American Indians, after many decades of formation, fringes gradually affirmed their flexibility and high application in each style. It seems that these "dancing" details around the body are only associated with bohemians or hippies, however, fringes have made many "expeditions" throughout their life cycle, creating designs that are loved by fashionistas around the world. Fringe outfits are no longer too strange to fashionistas. The most glorious mark of this trend was created in the 20s of the 20th century, when two famous designers Madeleine Vionnet and Charles Worth introduced flapper dresses with long rows of fringes covered in sparkling metallic light. In the 70s, music legends like Jimi Hendrix and Roger Daltrey once again “revived” this fashion style when bringing them to the vibrant catwalk. At the same time, the Far East cowboys began their “fate” with suede jackets and fringes attached to the jacket. Since then, the fringe trend has gradually become associated with the bohemian style, gypsy or hippie aesthetics. In the 90s, the fringe detail continued to “reappear” with the introduction of Jean Paul Gaultier’s unique sunglasses. In the mid-2010s, the fringe trend massively returned to the catwalk and street style. It seems that those fringes have been breathed a new “life” by fashion designers, making them look noble and soft but still retaining their characteristic liberal, contemporary features. Perhaps because this is also the time when people start to look for passionate joys, swaying dances after a long period of gloom, and without a doubt, fringes are the perfect "catalyst". Going down the streets of tropical countries, fringes are the subtle highlight of outfits for gentle movements when walking. Not only are they tiny threads of fabric meticulously hand-cut, tropical fringes are also large details cleverly designed to keep the overall outfit dynamic but still sophisticated. Bold as they are, just by adding a blazer, you can become an elegant lady in the office while still flexibly moving to nightlife. Or in the never-ending thirst for parties, sexy queens always look forward to the moment of moving their bodies under the music and sparkling lights from the disco ball. At that time, sparkling fringed outfits are what help evoke the wild "personality" that is often hidden. To decorate their personality, ladies often choose fringed outfits with a little sequin and glitter. Along with that, a few accessories such as earrings, high heels with minimalist designs will be a great "formula" for an outstanding look without being too "over the top". And you know, the most famous parties on this earth all take place in tropical countries.
Go to the beach with beachwear style
Nestled between the blue sea and white sand, tropical people always welcome weekends with family and friends at the beach. The playful and dynamic beachwear style expresses freedom and harmony with nature. Colorful bikinis, swimsuits with pleated skirts or beach shorts are indispensable outfits for trips to the beach in tropical countries.
Unique accessories: combining colors and local culture
Accessories play an important role in highlighting the tropical fashion style. People in the tropics love to combine unique items with local cultural influences such as wide-brimmed hats, woolen gloves, colorful necklaces, and handmade handbags. These accessories not only show creativity but also show pride in their unique cultural origins.
In addition to familiar earrings and necklaces, 2022 also witnessed the arrival of leather fringe handbags. No longer as dusty and wild as before, with minimalist designs on handbags or hats, this trend is extremely suitable for urban spaces and "like-baiting" photos on Instagram.
Accessories are an important part of completing your tropical style. Add wide-brimmed hats, colorful sunglasses, classic necklaces, and unique handbags to your collection. These accessories will not only accentuate your outfit but also add a unique touch to your personality.
