Animal print never goes
out of fashion. In fact, every season and every year, people parrot, “Animal
print is on trend!” But it’s the same print. If there’s anything new, it’s
purely a matter of interpretation.
The
question isn't about “should you” or “should you not” own an animal
print. Every fashionista must own at least a piece of this print be it a dress,
a top, a pair of shoes, a scarf or a bag. The question therefore is – how do
you make it right?
Only one Large Print!
Matching colors and prints is very common in styling. However, not only does going too matchy creates a trying hard kind’a obsolete way of styling, it’s considered a big NAY when it comes to animal prints!!!
Choose only one large part of your outfit that’s wild. For instance, if your top is a leopard/tiger/zebra print, let the tights/skirt/pants be non-animal. If it’s your dress that has the print, then let your shoes be plain black or nude or Vice versa..!
Tone your leopard print down
If your outfit is too wild, tone it down. If you wear an animal print mini dress, you can tone it down by wearing a single-colored-cardigan over your dress in color that blends well with your wild print.
If you wear a leopard print tights for example, you can tone it down by wearing a knee-length boots in color palette that blends but suppresses the strongest shade of your animal print.
You can also decide for the color of your boots by taking a non-dominant shade from your other accessories. Again, in shades that complement your animal print.
Another way of toning down a large wild is by carrying/wearing accessories that steals attention such as fur purse or fancy scarf. But then, their color should always be complementary.
