Animal prints seem to be an autumn staple around these parts. I don’t know about you, but I feel like they are quite the summer vibe, too. I guess it reminds me of being on a safari, or maybe it’s the way they feel all wild and free. Either way, I have some of the cutest animal print finds for you today and let me just say, hold onto your hats, this is a wild ride.
Blouses and Tops
Even if you pair these animal print tops with solid bottoms, they are going to speak for themselves and wow, what a statement they make. You can pair them with red slacks, red shorts, or a cute red leather skirt. Black is always a good choice as well, as is camel, or white. Of course, you can always pair animal print seamlessly with a good denim skirt, or jeans. Don’t underestimate the staying power of animal print as a neutral. Try pairing them with bright yellow, hot pink, turquoise, or Kelly green. The point is to just try a good animal print when you want to add a little pizzaz to your everyday outfit.
Dresses, Skirts, and Palazzo Pants
I personally own a couple of the pieces in this collection and wear them on repeat. I find them fun to wear for date night, to a work event, or even just running errands around town. The pieces in this curated selection always bring in the compliments, and you’ll feel fabulous wearing them.
Casual Comfort
Sometimes you want to toss on a cute t-shirt, or sweatshirt and fun pair of tennis shoes. Well, animal print fits that need, too. In fact, these picks are regular go-to options when wanting to look put together, but casual, too.
If the Shoe Fits…
Speaking of shoes, I am a sucker for a good pair of heels. I love a good 4 inch heel when appropriate, but for day-to-day wear, a good 3-inch heel is comfortable and beautiful. There are times, though, when a cute flat shoes is the only way to go. Because you might want to pull an all-neutral outfit together with a great pair of animal print shoes, consider tag-teaming them with a great handbag. I’ve got you covered. But get ready, these are So GOOOOOOOOOOOD.
…Buy the Purse to Match
I think there is something so fun and unexpected when you carry a cute handbag. While large totes have their purpose, a good clutch or shoulder bag really makes a statement when paired with a great dress, pants suit, or trouser. These are so good, you might find yourself wanting more than one! I certainly do.
A Few Extras
You don’t have to stop at blouses, skirts, shoes and purses. No Way! You can find animal prints in swimwear and outerwear, and belts as well. To be honest, these pieces are in my cart right now! You might have to pace yourself. Once you jump on the bandwagon, you might not want to jump back off.
Why Animal Prints are So Versatile
I love a great animal print dress that can be dressed up or down, a great animal print t-shirt for casual events, but my all time favorite is an animal print blouse. I find them to be versatile with jeans, slacks, skirts, and shorts. The beauty is, an animal print blouse is great for hiding stains.
When we travel, there is always at least one animal print piece in my travel capsule. We recently took a trip to Chicago and you can see the travel capsule here. The animal print blouse was worn on repeat and it is easy to wash out in the sink and will dry overnight if necessary. Don’t ask me how I know this.
