This summer’s most unlikely style icon is Magnum P.I., a moustache-sporting, Ferrari-driving, Hawaiian-shirt-wearing TV detective from the 1980s, who was played by Tom Selleck.*

His style icon status is not for his bushy moustache, or a his flash car, but for the attention-grabbing tropical prints that were his signature style as he solved crimes on the island of Hawaii. I’m pretty partial to a print myself, so it’s no great surprise that I’m a big fan of this trend. Here’s five of my favourite tropical high street finds.

*Who you might be more familiar as Richard, the older doctor who dated Monica in Season 2 of Friends.

Tropical Print Blazer, ASOS, £55

Probably not for you if you’re a newbie when it comes to wearing prints, this ASOS blazer is unashamedly loud, but looks surprisingly smart thrown over a tee and jeans.

High Waisted Printed Shorts, Zara, £29.99

I’m a little bit in love with these shorts from Zara, which would be perfect worn with a plain tee, a pair of flip-flops and a tan. If dresses are more your style Zara have turned the same print into a short-sleeved shift.

Palm Print Shift Dress, Oasis at ASOS, £55

Who’d have thought a palm tree print could look so chic? I would wear this black and white Oasis dress with a pair of white Birkenstocks. Totally trying the prettily-plaited hairstyle on my next night out too.

Tropical Playsuit, Superdry at ASOS, £34.99

One to buy now and save for your summer holidays, this Superdry playsuit has got beach to beach bar written all over it.

Tropical Print Shirt, Pull & Bear, £19.99

At the more subtle end of the tropical trend, this shirt from Pull & Bear looks cute buttoned up, but would look equally good worn as a casual open jacket over a white vest.
