That's the power of a great tropical print — and few things in fashion carry that kind of magic quite like it.
The tropical floral first found its fame in the 1940s and 50s, when the Aloha shirt brought the spirit of the Hawaiian islands to the rest of the world and never really left. It returned with full confidence in the 1970s, riding the wave of mid-century modern design and a maximalist mood that embraced bold prints on everything from wallpaper to wardrobes. Decades later, the tropical print remains one of fashion's most enduring and joyful statements — because nothing transports you to cocktails by the pool, warm evenings and places far away quite like it.
At Wacker, we found ours in the deadstock fabric markets of Ho Chi Minh City — the very last metres of a limited edition organic linen print that can never be repeated. Once these are gone, they're gone forever.
Cut in a relaxed, effortless silhouette with an elastic and drawstring waist, side and back pockets — the kind of short you reach for every single day of a holiday and wish you'd packed more of.
