Emilio Pucci

The temperature is rising as tropical prints warm up for spring. Turquoise, green and orange tones will heat up any summer ensemble. Emilio Pucci goes peachy with a coral belt that perfectly highlights the warm weather tones in this one-shouldered sheer dress. When it comes to tropical print footwear and accessories, dresses in edible shades (raspberry, tangerine and lime) and natural fabrics are the key to capturing this trend’s laid-back attitude.
