Palm print shirts feature palm trees and fronds, the emblem of resort wear. The motif ranges from realistic tropical scenes to stylized, modern palm graphics.
The vertical palm trunks are naturally elongating, flattering most figures. The print reads vacation-happy and suits relaxed settings. Darker palm prints on navy or black grounds wear more elegantly.
Wear with white or khaki for classic resort style, or dress up a dark palm blouse for summer evenings. It is made for warm weather, travel and outdoor parties. Keep the rest of the outfit simple and breezy.
When buying printed shirts, check the print quality first: the pattern should align at the seams and buttons on better-made shirts, and the colors should look crisp, not muddy. Consider scale against your frame — hold the shirt up in a mirror and notice whether the print energizes or overwhelms. Check fabric content for how the print was applied; printed silk and cotton breathe well, while cheap polyester prints can look shiny. Classic prints like stripes, dots and leopard never really date, making them the safest print investments.
