Tropical leaf prints have been steadily growing in popularity over the last year or so, and if you follow our Leafy pinterest board you will need no proof of this. And if the Spring runway shows have any sway, they won’t be going away anytime soon. In fact, this board was a little hard to make only because there were so many great runway designs to choose from, it was difficult to decide which to use! Check out the spring shows from Josie Natori, Tomas Maier, Nicole Miller and Matthew Williamson to get more ideas on how to approach this trend.

The Resort season always brings us a few trends with a tropical vibe, which is only natural as the name itself implies post-winter travels. This season, that tropical trend takes the form of brightly colored feathers, realistically rendered and arranged in neo-psychedelic fashion.
