Bring on the Jams. Round up your Ocean Pacific surf wear… Summer is on the way, and retailers are celebrating with ’80s-style tropical fashion! Take the Urban Outfitters pieces above. The Volcom Los Palmas Tank Top (above, left) is lightweight cotton with ringer trim. The Volcom Fa-Da-Mental Trunk (above, right) has a drawstring waist and a name much more complicated than its Jams predecessors. Don’t think we’ve forgotten about the ladies…
The Tropical Combo Dress from Forever 21 (above, left) features a knit halter top and jungle print skirt, seamlessly joined in a flattering ensemble. Urban Outfitters’ Sparkle & Fade Shredded Sleeve Tunic (above, right) has two key ’80s features: zebra print fabric and the appearance of being caught in the gears of a combine. Let’s hear it for ripped clothing!
We end with two more sensational finds from Forever 21:
The Tropical Safari Tank (above, left) combines the wonders of wildlife with a sunset background. The Banded Tropical Print Tee (above, right) offers the best of cool ’80s tones in a jungle vegetation motif.
Leave it to retailers targeting young adults to take some chances with their summer fashion lines and revive the ’80s once again! Have a Wild Thursday…

I really like tropical prints combined with neon colors!

I don't really care what decade you say they're from. Throw in some nice ara boots, and I'd still look good in them at any beach.
