Not Your Average Animal Prints

Spring 2019 Animal Print Trend

Zebra, leopard, cheetah, tiger, snake… these predators of the wild have been creeping, sneaking and slithering their way through the fashion trends for the past few seasons but for Spring 2019 they will stalk your closet in a whole new way!

The animal print trend continues into Spring 2019 with unexpected colorways (like lavender, hot pink, blues, oranges and yellow) and  literal animal prints, i.e. clothing covered in pictures of all kinds of animals.

At Valentino we saw a gorgeous symmetrical design of two storks facing each other, FENDI delivered flocks of birds in spice colored hues and at  Dolce & Gabbana (a brand that never shies away from animal prints) we had the unexpected  showing of a stunning white gown emblazoned with farm animal prints, yes actual farm animals- everything from roosters to horses and cute little piggies. At Burberry we even saw some Dalmatian print!

When rockin’ animal prints this season make sure to look for fun imaginative color takes on the classic prints.  Think purple zebra, blue leopard, orange snakeskin etc.  When in doubt channel your inner child.  Think “If my 4 year old was to color in this print with crayons what hue would they use”.  Let your imagination take the lead and don’t shy away from playing with mixing prints!

Animal Print Trend: It’s a Jungle Out There

Animal Print Trend

I’ve been talking, posting and writing non-stop about how hot hawaiian and tropical prints are for SS18 but have I mentioned that for Pre-Fall and Fall 2018 animal prints will be leading the pack?

The animal print trend game is strong this Fall.  The shows were packed with animal prints, from Dior to Herrera, Stella McCartney to Saint Laurent. Designers took inspiration from the notebooks of zoologists incorporating the ENTIRE animal kingdom into their designs everything from Leopard to Zebra, exotic tigers and even snakes.

I know, I know… you are wondering why I am talking about Fall when it’s a 113 degrees outside but in order to make smart clothing purchases now you have to look a season ahead, which is precisely why I became instantly starry eyed when I saw this dress.

It was totally love at first fashion sight.  Picture a rom-com montage of me and this dress laughing, sipping cocktails, walking hand in hand on the beach and riding off into the sunset together.

Yeah it was that and here’s why….first, it has a tropical print so it’s hot NOW and second it has an animal print so it will be hot LATER PLUS it has 3/4 sleeves (I told you all about why I love these HERE) and it’s a shirt dress, which is one of my favorite silhouettes.

Wear it now for summer with sandals and wear it for fall with boots, a leopard or zebra coat and a fun animal print bag.

Yaas! Oh Yaas!

The animal print trend fits in so flawlessly with the tropical print trend that there is really no reason to wait until Fall to start rockin’ it.

Incorporate animal prints into your summer wardrobe by pairing leopard with palm prints or zebra with tropical florals.

A Hawaiian print button down shirt becomes oh so tropical chic when paired with a sleek leopard print pencil skirt or if you just want to take your animal prints as a garish on your tropical drink of a look try mixing in a fun parrot print clutch or tiger striped earrings.
