The Cactus Fashion Trend Is About to Take Over Summer 2017
May 21, 2017
Goodness knows we’re partial to a playful fun-in-the-sun motif or tropical print that makes us ooh and aah with envy. In years past, we’ve witnessed pineapples, palm trees, and watermelons skyrocket to Insta fame. But what’s next? We’re so glad you asked, ‘cause cool cacti are actually on the verge of being everywhere. Not just restricted to the Colorado Desert, cactus-inspired clothing and accessories are guaranteed to make a splash poolside or during an upcoming glam-cation in the mountains. Keep scrolling for 14 of our favorite prickly iterations that are too stinkin’ cute to pass up.
