If you’ve been around here for a while, then you know I’m a fan of animal print. I even wrote a post earlier this year all about how to incorporate animal print into your wardrobe. Now that 2018 is in full swing, though, the trend has become even more clear. Animal print is running wild.

If you take a stroll through any department store or get on any brand’s website, you’ll see animal print on just about everything. From scarves to belts to bags to tops. You get the picture. It’s everywhere. I have to say, I’ve been a fan for longer than I’d like to admit. But here is how I’m rocking the look lately.

How I’m Wearing the Animal Print Trend

When I’m really into a trend, I like to go big. That’s why I’m holding nothing back and rocking this leopard print dress from And Other Stories. It can be a bold statement with such a busy pattern, but I love it. It’s the perfect look for any of you ladies in the corporate world. Or just a great, chic option for evening events or date night.

For the office, you could do a kitten heel or a flat. Then take it to date night by simply switching out the office-approved shoe for a sexier pump or even an over-the-knee boot for fall and winter. What’s better than a dress that can do it all?

The shoes I chose to wear on this particular day are cool. Look at that silver buckles on the black boot. Adding details like this is the perfect way to make any outfit edgy. I recommend keeping all your other accessories pretty feminine because the print already gives such an edge to this look. Keep the color palette neutral and you’re done.

Like I said, though, there are so many different ways to do animal print right now. Here are more of my favorites.
