All for foliage

Foliage prints, whether it’s exaggerated Hawaiian prints or bright leafy patterns, are making their presence felt big time. It’s the perfect time to give your geometrics and stripes a miss and go for the more natural cactus, palm trees and leaf prints instead. To channel your inner touristy vibes, choose a loose fitting foliage printed button-down shirt and pair it up with dark denims or trousers to showcase this top summer trend on point. You can even nail a leafy printed shirt by wearing it open with a white t-shirt underneath and a classic pair of blue jeans. This time, you can go for bigger or bolder foliage prints too as the t-shirt helps to keep it all balanced and with a pair of aviators and loafers, you are all ready for a super cool weekend brunch look!
