If you’re going on board a cruise this summer, we suggest packing according to the different activities you’ll be partaking in: outfits for lounging on the lido deck, dinner & dancing, swimming, and excursions.

As we slowly ease into summertime, our minds naturally go to sunny beach vacations and baseball games--two things we love about the season. That's why this week’s trend spotlights are on tropical floral prints and outfits to wear at the ballgame. 

Tropical-floral prints are like the summer vacation of prints—they just evoke such a laid-back feel. Think palm fronds, exotic flowers, and bold colors. Whether it’s on a lovely summer dress or a cool Hawaiian shirt, this fabulous print is a must for warm summer days and nights.

Baseball games call for comfortable outfits that show some team spirit. Break out of wearing just any old team shirt by rocking your team’s colors in casual pieces. Throw on your baseball cap and you’re ready to root, root, root for the home team in style!

Last year, Italian designers showed florals all over the runways. Since then, strong floral prints have become a common trend in Europe and have quickly transcended into the States. To give this retro style a modern look, simply throw on a pair of ankle boots and a chain purse swung across the shoulder, and you'll be just like the Italians... molto elegante!

Leave it to Free People to provide spot-on trends at affordable prices, like the Floral Ruffle Shift Dress. Its scoop neck and micro mini hem gives it a 90's nostalgic look. Give it a European flair by paring it over a pair of textured leggings or colored tights. Another great floral by Free People is the Queen B Ponte Dress. The floral stretch mini is balanced with a draped woven bodice. It's perfect for day, in a chic pair of flats, or for a night out, in sexy heels.

BCBGeneration'sStrapless Pleat Dress features a beautiful rose print all over. Its sweetheart neckline also flatters any body type. For a Parisian look, pair this sweet dress with a feminine lace headpiece.

Charlotte Ronson is known for her retro designs, and often incorporates florals in every collection. The Square Neck Sleeved Dress in a fabulous floral print is reflective of her signature style. Inspired by European trends, this dress also features puff half-sleeves, a ruched hem, and a two-button closure at the neck with a sexy keyhole.
