Wearable Fashion Trends 4: Animal Prints

The warmth from the sun brings out our inner animal. Release the beast by suiting up in some of the exciting animal prints. Leopard, zebra, and snake prints are making a huge comeback with patterns being seen on everything from dresses to bathing suits, handbags to stilettos. Pick up on of these animal print picks and be queen of your urban jungle.

2. Lampshade Leopard Dress - This dress is doing retro funk better than anything we've ever seen before.
3. The Whiskey Bikini - Tyler Rose has us walking poolside like it's a runway, and we've never felt sexier.
4. Jungle Mesh Clutch - A clutch that's sublimely touchable? That's perfection.

Runway: Big animal prints show up on everything from handbags to trench coats.

Reality: Animal prints -- leopard, zebra, etc. -- are a classic, but that doesn't mean just anyone can wear them. First, you'll need to scale the size of the print to your body type (larger prints for larger or taller women, and vice versa). This time of year you'll want to pair them with white to lighten them up. Add updates touches like a wide belt or patent accessories and shoes.
