When used in a more conservative and subtle fashion a quality animal print can really make an outfit. They are ideal for the autumnal and spring months as they display the perfect colour palette of chocolate browns, creams and golden tones. Here are some tips for a more understated take on the classic animal print:
-
Opt for just one accessory in an animal print, rather than head-to-toe print or large pieces. Alternatively, try an animal print trim on a larger item.
-
Keep the rest of your outfit clean, simply and unfussy.
-
Opt for a colour palette in tawny browns, shades of gold and creams to work with the animal print.
-
As badly worn animal prints have a reputation for looking gaudy, be sure to team them with classy and sophisticated accessories. Opt for timeless and classic rather than anything that could be misinterpreted as trashy.
-
If in any doubt wear your animal print with an all black outfit for a sophisticated edge.
-
If you're new to animal prints then start small, with a single accessory and let that item be the focal point of your outfit.
