Tribal print: the everlasting commander of summer trends.

From bold hues to neutral tones, you can’t go wrong with a little or a lot of print! With notable celebrity support from Beyoncé Knowles and Blake Lively, tribal print never goes out of style. Tribal print is a must have fashion staple; you can pair it with almost any kind of fabric and still look effortlessly fabulous. If you’re searching for a toned-down way to command attention amongst the hustle and bustle on the hazy city streets or inspire endless outfit envy from passersby on vacation, then tribal print is a must! This Fashionista gives off an effortlessly cool rocker-chic vibe while she sports her tribal print, bringing her own style into the mix.

Fashion lovers are obsessed with tribal print. Tribal print is a cultural melting pot of sorts; there are many different types of tribal print that have earned their fame from a variety of tribes, religious groups and specific regions in the world. In my closet, tribal print has taken over, mainly due to the fact that it can be worn almost anywhere if done right! A neutral or muted hue of tribal print might be appropriate for your internship. Tribal prints in bright pops of color would be better suited for a weekend of shopping or a night out on the town. It’s important to remember that tribal print is associated with fun for a reason! Mix in your personality through accessories that align with your individual style and you’ll have a wild combination.

In order to avoid looking washed out or mismatched, she adds in color with a marsala tank top and layers it with an oversized denim button-down. She adds in industrial style accessories in silver to complete the look. The outfit is slightly reminiscent of Kurt Cobain’s stylish cool factor. This Fashionista has not only put together a RAD look without even trying, but she has also provided an understated look into her personality. By playing with texture, fabric and color she has created a look all her own.
