As happens every few seasons, animal print is huge for Spring/Summer 2011. Be it leopard, zebra or unidentifiable, fashion’s on again/off again romance with all things jungle dwelling is very much on again for the warmer months. From Proenza to Portmans, and in every item imaginable, it is EVERYWHERE.
DO wear it in a sexual way. Embrace your inner animal.
DO the exact opposite and wear it in a completely non-sexual way. Choose pieces that are faded, oversized and understated for a casual, animal enhanced look. Equally as amazing!
DO wear it in unusual colours and patterns. Black is the new cat, so to speak. If you don’t know what I mean by that phrase, then try doing this: Next time you go out wearing some prints try wearing a black scarf or black accessories with it. So chic!
DO double up on clashing animal prints, or clashing prints in general. But PROCEED WITH CAUTION. This is extremely risky and should only be used as a resort for expressive fashionista’s.
DO NOT wear animal print to the zoo. Nuff said
DO NOT wear anything that still physically resembles the animal from whence it came. I know this isn’t the right time to go all eco ‘save the animals’ preachy right now but seriously, keep the real stuff alive. You don’t want people hating on your style!
DO NOT use matching animal print accessories to “highlight” an outfit. Single accessories are beautiful, but to much double up and you will look like you stepped out of ‘The Lion King’.
