Get The Right Animal Print Look

We all know that animal prints are one thing that can either be very right or very wrong depending on how you wear it. I will be the first to say that I gave up on the thought that leopard print could ever be done right, but I will also be the first to say I was very wrong. And now, unless it’s in the form of a tacky pleather pant, I am a full fledged supported of the animal print upswing.

With so many options to choose from, the animal print trend is most certainly not limited to the traditional leopard print. Explore what is out there beyond the feline and find a world of snake skin, cheetah (although I don’t totally see how this differs from a leopard), cobra, zebra (maybe keep your distance from zebras), and other jungle animals that have given inspiration to designers everywhere. Successful animal prints are popping up on Jeffrey Campbell platforms, sheer dresses, blouses, and even denim, which the jury is still out on those but if you can wear them and rock them then more power to you.  Animal prints are a great way to add a little diversity to a neutral outfit, and also makes a great layering piece. So grab a snakeskin bag, a leopard print dress and maybe a leather jacket with a slight hint of print (not to wear all at once unless you’re going on safari) and make this winter a little wilder than before.
Here are a few options from ASOS animal print collection to inspire you to work the theme into your wardrobe in different ways.
