There's an appealing kitschy-cool factor that you can't help but love about a tropical print—cue the Frank Sinatra CDs, slather on the silver-pink lipstick, pour the lunchtime martinis—but it doesn't necessarily translate into "gotta wear it!" pure clothing joy. However, Gucci, home of the fashionably dressed power babe, dared us all to tread back into this territory. Gucci's version of the tropical print blended in a heavy dose of abstract art, taking the spiky palm frond—compared with florals, leaf motifs are harder-edged without sacrificing the necessary retro vibe—and blending in vivid gradients of neatly grown-up color, like navy blue and foggy gray. All those complex spikes, all those chic shades—tropical prints became downright adventurous and sexy! Here's the thing: While Giannini showed off the print amid a ton of skinny suits, we think that tropical-print button-downs and trousers, no matter how sleekly done or well-styled it all is, can't help but read as Tony Manero. A dress just looks best—not too messy, nicely feminine. Pick a blousy, romantic-looking one, as opposed to anything too snug or constructed, in a print that's cool, not silly.
