If it seems a bit strange to be calling this a ‘new season’s trend’, take heart, because animal prints have followed through from Autumn/Winter 2010 and padded into Spring/Summer 2011 – in real terms they’ve never gone away, but do they ever? From a sleek chic leopard print dress to a zebra print scarf, join the jungle trend and add to your collection.
The real splurge of the season will inevitably be a leopard print coat. I’ve tried to persuade myself on occasion that I really need one of these but never quite managed it and prefer to go with animal print accessories – I think there’s a great danger of going over the top and ending up with something you a) might not have the occasion to wear and b) feel a bit daft in when you do. I’ve seen some great ones and also some very cheap and nasty versions. All I advise is if you go down this route go for the very best you can find and make sure it’s something you’ll love for years.
As a natural black wearing person (and again I’ve tried to change this but for the most part failed) the mix of leopard/zebra/tribal prints and minimalistic gold jewellery is irresistible this season. Don’t go for the whole look – to keep it chic and current mix modern jewels with your big cat prints and you’ll be ready to party. Snake? Did I hear snake? I’m sure it’s going to have a re-invention this season and there are some great pieces about…………
