After months of *exclusively* wearing trackies, hoodies and oversized comfies, I’m ready to emerge from my cosy cocoon like a (social) butterfly who’s ready for cocktail nights and garden parties.
And, honestly, I’m kinda over those subtle prints and play-it-safe colour palettes that have populated my floor-drobe since early last year. Goodbye tired leggings and loungewear, hello bold prints and statement pieces.
The first stop in rejuvenating my wardrobe? Animal print. Dabbling in fashion’s favourite zebra and leopard prints is a quick, low effort way of putting a wild twist on an everyday outfit. So with that in mind, here’s my spotlight on, well, all things spotted and striped.
One Shade Wonders
Get yo’ greens via Jonah, the suit-all shirt dress that teams subtle leopard print with vibrant green hues. This high drama mini is gorgeous with strappy black heels – and your go-to girl squad at happy hour.
If you’re more of a lady in red, we recommend snapping up the Teagan dress. This fiery mini features a waist-cinching belt that promises to accentuate your curves and flatter your figure. Come autumn, you can pair this wear-anywhere piece with heeled boots and a faux leather jacket.
Jeans & A Nice Top – With A Twist
Yep, we’re reinventing the failsafe duo via vibrant splashes of your fave animal prints. First up, we love pairing the waist-hugging Joanne top with light wash denim and nude heels for casual hangs and low-key lunches.
Needing something with a li’l more va-va-voom? If your next girls’ night out is on the horizon, team this vivid alligator print shirt with black skinny jeans and high-impact heels.
Mixing Prints
Fortune favours the bold – and those who clash statement prints. Wanting something with major main stage energy? The Jagger combines standout florals with bold leopard print for maximum impact. This rockstar maxi pairs best with understated heels and accessories.
Can’t choose between stripes or spots? The Adelyn midi splices together zebra and leopard prints in sweet shades of green, blue and pink. Team with fresh white trainers and your fave clutch.
