Bring out your wildside!

New animal print is all about subtlety rather than full-on head to toe leopard print! Animal inspired prints this season will appear on clothing, footwear and accessories so there are plenty of options for you to display a little bit of your wild side! Wear your prints with this season’s utility trend to hit the safari vibe or if you just can’t resist this trend in its fullest then go all out in an animal print maxi.

The prints; Leopard print has made a transition from evening to day wear and becomes more casual and a little edgy for summer. Zebra print and tiger print are also on trend so be creative with what prints you wear. Snakeskin looks great for accessories but not so good for clothing, so best stick to the handbags and shoes for this particular print. Why not glam-up your work wardrobe with a bit of print? Our Animal Spot Shift Dress in a subtle mono-chrome print is smart enough for work but add heels and a few glam accessories and it will work just as well in the evening! The shift shape and to-the-knee hemline keeps the dress sophisticated but the print makes it a bit more exciting than your standard office dress!

Animal print is also taking over swimwear this season. The Masquerade Tassia bikini combines black and brown zebra print with tribal inspired beading on the alterneck and briefs to a very glamorous effect and what’s more, this style is exclusive to us! Wear yours as it is on the beach and under a sheer kaftan for evenings or pool side lunches.

It might seem like a daunting trend but if you stick to this simple guide to wearing print then you can’t go wrong! Prints for this season scream notice me, they’re bold, bright, tropical, tribal, or floral and they’re definitely not for the faint hearted! These fun and fashionable prints have also stepped up a notch as they become digitally enhanced, so that wearing one becomes like wearing a giant digital photograph, very avant-garde!

For the brighter prints keep the style short, a tunic dress, shorts, or eye catching jacket should do the trick with out overpowering the look with too much of a good thing! The traveller look is great for this clashing print frenzy, simply combine earthy tones and animal print with bright, bold flashes of colour and wear with wedges for an effortlessly chic spring look. If you like prints but don’t however like the showiness of OTT trends then opt for more subtle prints in softer colours. Floral prints work well for pulling off the boho vibe and can be worn in longer styles such as maxi skirts and dresses.
