Tropical Pieces – Julia Berolzheimer

It’s that time of year when tropical pieces start to make sense again, something you want in rotation for the shift in season and setting.

I always come back to a few designers who consistently approach it well—Johanna Ortiz, Etro, Pucci, Cala de la Cruz. Each has a distinct point of view, but there’s a shared precision in how the prints are handled.

 

What stands out is placement and scale. Motifs follow the line of the body across draped skirts, halter necklines, and relaxed tailoring. Prints feel integrated into the shape rather than sitting on top of it.

The palette leans deeper than expected in black, rust, olive, saturated blues with sharper notes of orange and yellow woven through. It gives the pieces more range and makes them easy to wear well beyond just a beach setting.
