Nature’s spots and stripes have stalked their way back into
fashion’s spotlight, and we couldn’t be happier. When worn well, animal prints
can add some fun flair to your wardrobe, and designers this season seem to
agree. Hell, even America’s
favorite “as seen on TV” product, the Snuggie, has hopped on the bandwagon by
offering special-order leopard and zebra options. (Note to readers: that was
just an FYI,
not a suggestion for an actual purchase!) To
some, fauna-inspired attire might come across as a tacky trend, even when
well-done, and difficult to work into a regular wardrobe. Our advice to you?
Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. Embrace woodland, sea, and sky creatures
with killer handbags, sexy shoes, and dainty jewelry. Can we get a meeeoooow?
