Although Hawaiian and tropical prints are often stereotyped as looking tacky or touristy, this spring/summer season offers a more glam and modern version of island fever that has emerged within the fashion world. These easy-to-wear tropical prints couldn’t be more fab for warm spring and summer days, and have been seen walked down designer runway and red carpets in a range of vibrant colors: tangy tangerines, ocean blues, and electric pinks.

For instance, they were seen in the Spring/Summer 2013 the runway show of Mara Hoffman, who offered a somewhat literal version of the Hawaiian trend.

Since then, Selena Gomez was seen working this tend in a feminine, flirty way at last month’s premier of Spring Breakers in Austin. She chicly paired a Dolce & Gabbana cropped Cotton Print Top (part of a two-piece set that retails for $1045) with a high-waisted Orange Cotton Stretch Pencil Skirt ($840) from the Spring Summer 2013 collection.

This fun flirty skirt in its bold print is a great piece to get you ready for the summer season. Dress it up with heals, or down with flats, but, to balance out its voluminous shape, pair it with a more fitted, tucked-in top.
