Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!  Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the forest the snakes and animals are back!  Give it up, don’t fight the trend anymore because snake and animal prints have become a classic. 

The species may change, but the animal kingdom will always be with us.  I once was told by a decorator that animal print in a room brings life, energy and character to the room.  So it is with your wardrobe. 

Sometimes it’s a zebra, cheetah or lizard.  Sometimes is a leopard or a snake.  Sometimes it’s just a touch with a belt or a shoe and sometimes it’s a statement piece with a jacket or pants.  Pay attention to the intensity and class of the species on display because going wrong with an animal can reek havoc with your style!

This fall it’s more about touches of animal.  Get it in a handbag, shoe, belt, even a bracelet, but add some snakeskin or animal into your wardrobe this season to pump it up.  Don’t do animal this season in a statement piece…put those away for now. 

Check out the latest trends from designers such as Calvin Klein, Tod’s, Gianni Bini, Miu Miu, BCBG and more.    Keep it subtle this fall to support all those vibrant colors you’re seeing and you’ll be all about style.
