HOW TO WEAR ANIMAL PRINT
Believe it or not, animal print pieces can really be worn with pretty much anything. It is a classic trend that for the last few years just does not seem to be going out of style. While it definitely can be a tad intimidating for some, we have come up with a few tips to help those in need learn how to ease into the trend by incorporating it subtly into their wardrobe or by diving in headfirst and gearing up in head to toe cheetah print or snakeskin.
Do Not Over-Do It
When starting to incorporate, for example, cheetah print, into your wardrobe, start off by picking one staple piece and sticking to this. Whether it is a top or a bottom, let this one piece be the main attraction of your outfit. When it comes to pairing other pieces with it, your best bet is to choose neutral tones that you know will compliment it and not throw it off balance or clash. Tuck in a cheetah print blouse into a pair of jeans, tuck a white tee shirt into a cheetah print skirt, or wear a neutral-toned outfit and throw on a pair of cheetah print boots.
Use It As An Accent
A little bit of animal print can go a long way. The more simple and neutral your overall outfit is, the more the animal print will stand out and pop as well as compliment the rest of the look. If you’re in jeans and a tee-shirt or a solid colored dress, throw on a snakeskin belt. You’ll draw attention to your cinched waist which is super flattering and people will for sure be admiring your tasteful use of one of the hottest trends at the moment.
Go With A Dress or Romper
If you are cautious about how to style an animal print piece in terms of matching and whatnot, an easy way to avoid clashing or over-doing it is to wear a dress. It can definitely seem intimidating at first but it is honestly one of the safer options. As long as you pair it with a solid colored shoe there is not much that can go wrong. Plus, if this is out of your comfort zone you can add a denim or leather jacket to take away from the animal print a little bit to make yourself more comfortable.
Accessorize Tastefully
Let us say for example you are wearing zebra print pants, it is probably not the best option to grab your cheetah print purse that day. Save the purse or even a cool pair of animal print sunglasses for again, a more neutral outfit. However, we highly recommend wearing a simple outfit and accessorizing with two of the same animal print pieces. Either a pair of sunglasses and a purse as previously mentioned, a scarf and sunglasses, even a jacket and sunglasses.
If you are eager to get this trend going in your personal wardrobe, try out these helpful tips and tricks. And for those who are willing to make a little more of a statement, it is actually super cute and fashion-forward to pair some cheetah print trousers with a lighter color pinstripe button down. This is a perfect outfit for work that tons of people will be looking twice at, in a good way.
