Animal Prints

                A trend that has been very popular in the past, and is back again is the ANIMAL PRINTS. They are so exotic, yet fun and exciting patterns. Animal prints made their way back into wardrobes in the fall of 2010, and they are still holding strong during this winter. The great thing about these wild animal prints is that these patterns are expected to hang around through the spring and even into the summer of 2011!

            The most popularly seen animal prints are the famous leopard, the zebra print, the giraffe print, and even the snake skins. The original animal prints are made of very neutral colors, browns, tans, and black. However, the new trends are to change the colors of the prints with keeping the same designs of the print. For example, I’ve seen zebra print with neon colored stripes, instead of just plain black and white.

            The good news is that the animal prints look fabulous on shoes! A great way to wear these prints is to use the prints as an accent to a bold solid color that you’re wearing. (Shoes are a great way to accent an outfit!) In the winter, the bold colors were more natural, from browns, tans, greens, and black, and then throw in an animal print scarf, bag, shoes, or other accessory. However, moving into the spring, the great solid colors to pair with these prints will be much brighter such as: purple, navy, yellow, green, and in some cases even bright red.

            These prints are so full of life and so much fun, just be sure to not over do it! The images below were both received from Google Images. To the left, you can see that these shoes are more dressy, and are to be worn out, much more fierce. To the right, you can go more casual with the animal print converse. Of course, you can also find footwear with other selections of different animal patterns.
