With warm hues, natural accents and vibrant prints, fashion has taken an exotic turn this summer with an explosion of tribal looks.

The tribal trend consists of strong, graphic prints (black and white graphics mixed with darker prints is a recognizable element) combined with warm, earthy tones (black, browns, deep reds and oranges) and natural accents (straw, wood). Safari looks usually have a khaki jacket, belted with front pockets.

Because the prints are often oversized and strong, they work best on simple shapes (shift dress, tunic) or in soft, draped fabrics (cotton gauze). Natural accents - a wood armful of bangles or a beaded cuff - or matte (not shiny) metallics set off the look perfectly.

This new trend is a must have for all the social animals out there. Bringing the wild and tribal feel to our everyday or party outfits will add that special dash of oomph to our mundane and tried to death everyday or party looks. Get a hold of a tribal inspired tog or get the fabric(available in abundance at Ashianna or Gulf Shopping Arcade) cut and stitched in whatever style that suits you best. Striking and minimal, tribal prints are a must have.

This could be your fashionable contribution to the world looking better!
