Women's Tropical Print Shirts: Shop by Style, Detail & Fit

Tropical print shirts explode with exotic flowers, fruits and foliage in vivid color. They are vacation in fabric form: joyful, bold and unapologetically bright.

The vibrant all-over prints flatter sunny dispositions and suit relaxed settings on most figures. Larger motifs favor taller frames; the bright colors flatter tanned and deep skin beautifully.

How to Style Tropical Print Shirts

Wear on vacation, to summer parties and anywhere fun is the dress code. Pair with white or khaki to let the brights pop. This print does not do subtle, and that is the point.

What to Look for When Buying

Shop printed shirts by considering where you will wear them: subtle prints like pinstripes and tonal patterns suit offices, while bold tropicals and graphics belong to weekends and vacations. Look at the reverse side of the fabric — quality prints penetrate the fibers rather than sitting plastically on top. Wash printed shirts inside out in cold water to keep colors vivid. When in doubt between two prints, choose the one whose colors already appear in your wardrobe; it will earn its keep.
