Leopards, tigers, pythons, oh my! Animal prints are clawing their way back into the spotlight. Reasons number one through 100 to love animal print are really all the same. Adding anything animal print to an ensemble is the quickest way to add a little spice to your style. It was the first fashion trick I ever learned, and my wardrobe in high school made that very clear. Now that I’m (mostly) a grown up, I prefer sleeker options.
After discovering Saint Laurent’s Leopard Print Goat Hair Bomber Jacket, I fell down the rabbit hole, and before I knew it animal print of all shapes, sizes, and genus slowly began to fill my cart. Thanks to all of my, ahem, research, I’ve learned a few things about 2018’s animal print trend: leopard print is back in a big way this winter. Although tiger stripes definitely get an honorable mention. Go wild.
