You’ve got to love a classic. Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking in the same way that animal print for autumn is predictably ubiquitous. Does it mean we should skip it? Not a chance. Does it mean we should make it our own with a fancy new spin? Now we’re talking…
I’m with Pat Butcher on this one, animal print is the ultimate neutral. It can go with anything and – bonus – it can add a little extra interest to your outfit. Do you see nude doing that? Didn’t think so.
Anyone who loves a silky leopard slip skirt with a basic T-shirt will know: animal print is the perfect combo of chic and sexy, which sounds like exactly our kind of party.
The trick? Make it your own. And this applies to your mani, too.
