Reposting this week's animal print breakdown because it's the trend I'm actually seeing stick — not just trending, sticking. Leopard, zebra, snake — they're all functioning as neutrals right now, which means they're doing the heavy lifting a black trouser used to do. The trick is treating them like you would any other print: one statement piece, rest of the outfit quiet. My working rule: if the animal print is the loudest thing you're wearing, everything else should shut up. Solid tee, solid denim, solid shoe. Let the print talk. What I'm skipping: head-to-toe animal print, matching animal print sets, anything with rhinestones or novelty. This trend ages badly the second it gets over-styled.
