Animal print is a serious fashion statement. Not only does it look fabulous by way of blouse of body-hugging dress; details such as purses, hats and shoes are popped when printed in leopard. Like LBDs and Burberry trench coats, animal prints never go out of style. A silk Hermes scarf may cost more than rent, but it truly will be fabulous forever. This fall, designers such as Dior are featuring platform heels in luxurious leopard print. The style is funky with tights and a black mini, or elegant with a black pantsuit. Animal prints can be worn subdued when minimized to an accessory such as the shoe, or clutch purse. However, the mere presence of the print indicates a slightly wild, sexy vibe that most of us women don’t mind exuding at all. I love animal prints because they cast a luxurious yet playful element to a given outfit. Women who don zebra prints, or cheetah or leopard understand that they are making a statement and have the confidence to pull it off. I find animal prints to be a very feminine attribute, as most men tend to avoid this pattern – yet take notice when a pretty lady sports it. Head to toe cheetah may be going a little far, but single pieces define the look. Shoes, a purse, a scarf, even gloves will capture the style without becoming overwhelming. If you want to go further, an animal print blouse is a sexy way to wear the trend, or a slinky mini, if you have the right venue! Happy Shopping, Ladies!
