“Ugly” fashion pieces are having quite the fashion moment right now. First, we had chunky sneakers, then Bermuda shorts, and now there’s another item from the forgotten corner of our closets that we’ve been eyeing: tropical shirts. Yes, you read that correctly. But before you eye us like we’ve completely lost it, hear us out.
Undoubtedly, this bold floral-print top may seem difficult to pull off. It is one that screams tourist. Especially if you imagine it being paired with chunky sneakers and Bermuda shorts. But if we’ve learned anything from throwback fashion is that nowadays any questionable trend can be repurposed for the better good.
