I’m usually a neutrals type of girl. Black, gray, white and
a ton of denim make up the bulk of my wardrobe. But I’m slowly but surely
coming around to animal prints.
Designer extraordinaire Diane von Furstenberg says the trick
to working with animal prints is to treat them like a neutral. That makes total
sense. After all, animal prints are made up of neutral colors.
I decided this blouse from Rebecca Taylor would serve as my
first foray into animal prints. With the body of the top in leopard and the
sleeves in black, I didn’t feel overwhelmed by the print. And pairing the top
with beloved neutral pieces like my AG skinny jeans, gold jewelry and classic
Chanel bag seemed to balance out the graphic nature of the top. But I didn’t
want the outfit to be too safe—hence the sky-high heels with cutouts.
Next time, I’ll try to wear animal prints with something a
bit more adventurous. Perhaps neon and leopard may be the next pairing on the
horizon…
How do you wear animal prints?
