Wild child: the celebrity animal print fashion trend for Spring/Summer

This Spring/Summer is the time to embrace your wild side and don the celebrity favourite – animal print, as adorned by celebs such as Alex Gerrard, Tulisa, Paris Hilton and Rhianna.  At Walk in Wardrobe HQ we fully understand that animal prints can portray a sassy ‘roar’, or a tacky ‘mew’.  We want to make sure that your urban safari is recognised for all the right reasons, so we thought we’d put together a few guidelines to help you on the way:

Animal print do’s and don’ts:

1)      Let the print speak for itself.  Don’t clutter it up and make it compete for attention with other animal prints or patterns and clashing colours.

2)      Accessorize sensibly.  For example, if you are wearing a complete outfit in leopard print don’t accessorize in kind, choose colours which will compliment it.  We have found gold to be an excellent colour to go with leopard print as it keeps in with the earthy tones that leopard print is known for.  If you are going with zebra print, accessorize with dark silvers and black shoes to give you a classy, evening feel.

3)      Make sure you get your animal prints from a quality brand such as the ones we stock to ensure that the print does not look cheap or tacky.

4) Wear all prints with confidence – many animal prints are associated with predatory animals, so hold your head up high and give us a roar!
