When you think of tropical print, unfortuantely the first thing that comes to mind is a Hawaiian shirt.

The uniform of a tourist in paradise, the bright and often tacky article of clothing is paired with khaki shorts and sometimes even a fanny pack. While we admire those who want to reflect their vacation state-of-mind through their wardrobe, tropical prints do not have to make you look like a tourist.

Lilly Pulitzer just released a line with Target that was full on Palm Beach vacation, but styled correctly, you can even manage to not look like a sorority girl on rush week. Blake Lively was able to pull off a very tropical jumpsuit while promoting “Age of Adaline” without one reference to a Hawaiian vacation.

And we got the looks to help you pull off a tropical print too. Whether you want to rock a tropical heel or even a tropical print short with flamingos, it’s about the way you accessorize your outfit that will make or break your very floral-heavy ensemble.

So when it comes to tropical print, don’t be afraid to go for the brightest and boldest pattern. Just be sure to avoid too many pieces with tropical print, or pairing with a flip flop. Find the balance.

Check out the gallery below for four ways to rock a tropical print away from the beach:
