Trend Alert: Animal Print is Back – With a Modern Makeover 

Animal print is back! If that doesn’t scare you a bit, let it excite you. One of fashion’s favourite prints is back on the radar. We’re talking everything from leopard, tiger, zebra and even snake print. It’s time to get wild with style. With the obsession with ‘more is more’ style and the inclination to bolder fashion choices, this wouldn’t have happened at a more appropriate time.

This print comes in handy for lovers of ‘bold style choices’, because not so many prints are bolder than animal print. This also means that the new way to wear animal print is by making fierce style choices. Case in point; in the past, mixing zebra with leopard prints was a fashion disaster. It was believed that the two prints would ‘fight each other’. This isn’t the case now. Mixing prints is the way to go.

In fact, matching animal print with other prints such as stripes or Ankara can be a genius idea, of course if done coherently.

Feel like indulging but still skeptical about the print? Start with little accessories such as scarves, head bands, sunglasses, shoes or bags. You don’t have to go all out animal print, just a hint of it can do great magic.
