How To Style Animal Print

The Timeless Power of Animal Print

Animal print has been a symbol of strength, confidence, and effortless glamour for centuries.

From royalty to rock stars, it has always carried an air of boldness and individuality.

Historically, wearing animal print was a sign of status and power.

Ancient rulers and nobility draped themselves in furs and exotic patterns to showcase wealth and dominance.

Fast forward to the 1920s, and leopard print made its way into high fashion, thanks to designers like Elsa Schiaparelli. By the 1960s, it became a rebellious statement, worn by icons like Brigitte Bardot and Eartha Kitt.

The beauty of animal print lies in its versatility.

It can be bold or subtle, classic or edgy, depending on how it’s styled.

It’s one of those patterns that never truly goes out of fashion, it simply evolves.

Today, animal print is a wardrobe staple.

Whether in a statement coat, a blouse, hoodie, skirt or just a touch of it in accessories, it brings an element of confidence and playfulness to any outfit.
