Animal Print: Your Primal Instinct

It's Friday, so to start the weekend let's let loose and show our primal instinct.


Many designers have been creating animal print masterpieces for some time (e.g. Torn by Ronny Kobo, Dolce & Gabbana, & Betsey Johnson), but this Fall, runways have been screaming Rrrawr!

But how should you wear them?  Here's my take on how to rock the trends without looking like you're trying too hard.


Do This:

William Rast; Black Better Faded Wash "Savoy" Skinny Jean

+

Soia & Kyo Camel stitched leather "suki" jacket

+

Brian Atwood tan leopard "starlet" pumps

OR Do This:

Joes Jeans Black Side Zip side seam leggings

+

Elie Tahari Leopard Trench

+

Stuart Weitzman Suede PeekPump peep toe

Bottom line? Less is more. Don't wear the trench, plus the shoes, plus a handbag that's all in leopard. Overkill. 

However...This look, via Dolce & Gabbana is pretty sweet....so take this idea and run wild...if you dare. Who said you can't mix and match prints?
