Welcome To The Jungle

This fall the two predominant jungle animal prints we have and will continue to see are snakeskin and leopard, and I really think it's safe to say that these are my two favourite prints. They continue to come back season after season (even for spring and summer), and because we find them in nature, they truly are timeless. If you wanted to invest in some serious leopard and snakeskin pieces that will last you through the seasons, go for some like the items below, in neutral palettes. From time to time, we will see these prints in crazy colours like bright pink, but their natural colours keep continuing to show up.

If you want to go all out, mix these two prints together in one outfit, but remember to break it up with blocks of colour. For instance, wear the snakeskin bralette with the leopard pencil skirt, but add a brown leather jacket and chunky brown booties. Or opt for the prints in your accessories, like the sunglasses and clutch, while wearing a monochromatic outfit. As well, if you are going to mix the prints, keep them in the same colour family (like both prints in grey or both in brown), and wear one print bigger than the other so they contrast each other (like the big snakeskin print on the blouse and the smaller leopard print on the sunnies).
