OUTFIT DETAILS: Chanel Dress & Pumps, Hermes Bag (similar, less expensive here), Dior Sunglasses

Animal print is one of those things I never really put away. I think of it as a print I can work in at any time of year, in any season, something that adds a little wit to an outfit. Leopard, cheetah, zebra, tiger stripe, they all have their moment.

Animal print is bold by nature, but balanced with more polished accessories, it feels just right. In summer, the pattern works best when there’s a lightness to the piece, whether that’s a leopard sandal peeking out from a skirt, a small printed bag that adds a pop, or a sheer pant with a little movement. The print I love year-round, worn a little easier.
