The Making of A Fruit Case — How To Rock This Season’s Fruit Print Trend!
We’ve all heard about some of this season’s predominant fashion trends: the return of Birkenstocks and other sport sandals (yuck!), the abundance of tropical palm prints, chambray pieces of all ilk, head-to-toe white looks,nautical stripes and seafaring motifs, holographic prints, day-to-night sequins, and so forth. But there’s one quirky trend that’s been flying under the radar — and it’s a juicy one! This summer, as you browse through all the maxi dress, rompers, cut-off shorts, swimsuits, body-conscious sleeveless dresses, fit-and-flare frocks, overalls, crop tops, T-shirts, skirts, clutches, and sandals on store racks and shelves, you’ll likely notice a recurring theme, as pineapples, cherries, watermelons, oranges, lemons, bananas, and strawberries appear before your eyes.
Designers seem to have found inspiration in Carmen Miranda’s fruit basket this season, as quirky and kitschy fruit prints appear on all kinds of garments and accessories. Ready to be a tutti frutti cutie? Then check out the fruit print pieces shown here — they’re ripe for the picking!
