Trend of the week: Answering the call of the wild

Heed the call of the wild, says Annmarie O’Connor.

INSPIRATION

Watch out! Scaly textures, furry naps and animal prints continue to roam the runways with designers like Céline and Marni indulging in creature features (zebra stripes or bright snakeskin, anyone?). As for the highstreet? It’s a veritable jungle out there. So, don’t hold back. Be fearless!

STYLE NOTES

* Creature of habit? Switch up a classic look with an animal print clutch or statement feather necklace.

* Unleash the beast with a leopard print Crombie – the perfect combination of function and fashion.

* Too wild? Soften the roar of an animal print with this season’s polo neck or chunky knit.

* On the prowl for something different? Try a bright colour like M&S’ coral wildcat coat.
