STYLE NOTES:

  • LOW-KEY SAVAGE: Make the everyday exotic by adding an animal print accessory like sunglasses, shoes or a bag.
  • SPLICE IT UP: Look to brands like H&M Studio and Rixo for unique twists like floral and animal print pattern splicing.
  • TAME THE BEAST: Make one animal print piece the focus of your look with the help of calm basics in neutral colours.
  • NATURAL BALANCE: Balance the strength of an animal print with discrete details like a midi hemline, long sleeves and fuss-free silhouettes.
