Splicing some tropical spirit into your summer wardrobe is always a good idea. Doing it without coming over too fancy dress, however, takes an approach to styling that’s a little less Copacabana and a little more chic. Work yours with sleek accessories for a summery yet grown up look. Here are three ways we’ll be working it – scroll through our gallery above for details.
1. Printed Pants: Brilliantly shown by Beyonce here, you can’t go wrong with a tropical print trouser. Pair yours with clashing but simple shaped pumps, a sleek black shirt and some glitzy jewellery for a great day to night look.
