*Trend: Animal Instincts

Animal prints & skins have been there previous Spring and are coming back this Spring.
Many designers as Christopher Kane, Cavalli and Bernard Willhelm show us that there are many summer alternatives to traditional animal skin prints (like leopard prints).
The animal print trend has developed so fast this year, that it now includes other animal skins, like: zebra, crocodile, cheetah, ocelot, jaguar, cow, giraffe,... Another way that this season trend is growing, is by using bold animal images on the entire outfit like Christopher Kane.
Animal prints add an exotic flair to any fashion wardrobe and generally look great on any body type.
If you're normally an understated dresser and you're not fully convinced of this trend, then you can stay with accessories too: even a leopard clutch or zebra wedges can spice up your entire outfit if you combine it right.
The main key with this busy trend, is to keep the rest of the outfit simple!
*I love to hear what you think of this trend and thanks to all of you for the inspiring comments so far!*

  5. Lovely choices - I didn't used to like animal prints, because a lot of outfits can look tacky, but it's really grown on me. Love the Christopher Kane piece!
