I think maybe we need a quick guide for this topic, simply because it’s a print that we generally get scared of. Very quickly, things can get too reminiscent of Tarzan in the jungle and although there may be some Jane in us all, that isn’t the effect we want to achieve. I myself used to look down on this print, because it always seemed to me that it has an ageing effect, until I found the perfect stilettos and got my a-ha moment. Wear it in small doses, but not so small that it won’t get noticed at all. The goal is to stand out a bit and achieve the perfect infusion of sexy.
Top
It’s always a good choice, because it brings life to the face, but it’s not for all women. Personally, I believe it comes down to the pattern, intensity and the color palette. The larger the animal “spots” are, the easier it is to handle.
Skirt
A top choice and all the better, if it’s midi. I am not one for voluminous and wide shapes, even though they can work sometimes, it’s it’s a big step to handle right off the bat. A tight midi skirt and basic black turtle neck is still a good choice.
Pants
If you stroll through some shops, you’ll quickly notice there are quite a few printed pants available. The latest models are wide and can be cropped, and my advice is to stay away from skinny pants, because they can quickly cross the line and look cheap.
Head-to-toe
For the most daring and definitely for a special occasion. It may depend on the material; a silk dress is beautiful and flattering, always and everywhere, not only for evening occasions.
Coat
I like the fact it sets the tone and has its own story. It’s a good way to stand out and set yourself apart, far from the classic black we see all the time. It’s a good investment and not as challenging as it may seem.
Fur
Make sure it’s faux, but it’s often not, so I’m not over the moon about it. Cruel to animals and negative for your morale. If you find something attractive and artificially made, then you’re all set. The effect is similar to that of a coat.
Bag
It’s the effortless icing on the cake to top your style. I find it interesting, how animal prints go well with everything, you can easily wear something red, a white blouse, jeans, leather…anything. It’s a bag that will suit all your looks.
Footwear
Ballet flats of sky high stilettos. The perfect purchase, for which the same applies as for the bag: you won’t even notice it, but it will have its’ presence, ready to turn you into gorgeous ladies and trendsetters. And I love that.
