Yes, you heard it right . Animal prints have long been a wardrobe staple for stylish women, but get ready to see the trend really take over for fall. From luxe leopard to snakeskin and zebra, there are endless options to take your look to the wild side this fall. Though Leopard was the exotic print of summer, but this season it’s all about Serpents. Leopard and tiger prints have been everywhere , but snake is the next exotic print to start adding to your wardrobe.

While it would be fair to argue that animal print never really went away, this season sees more niche contenders like snakeskin, tiger and zebra print challenge the ever-classic leopard for the top spot.

On the Versace catwalk in Milan, the model Stella Maxwell wore head-to-toe rattlesnake print on a bucket hat, shirt, shorts and handbag. Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy were spotted matching their snakeskin swimwear.

So what’s the appeal? Snake-print, like leopard, has a knack for adding up the glamour, whether on a dress that hugs all the right places, a bag or a snazzy pair of boots. Fashion writers overuse the term “modern classic”, but animal print has become as much a part of the clan as tweed, houndstooth or check and is, arguably, easier to get right. The fashion pack are treating Animal Print ,as you would treat denim or khaki.

During the New York Fashion Week , Victoria Beckham showcased classic leopard print pieces, Tom Ford added rainbow hues and gave a nod to sassy snakeskin while Prada granted tiger stripes a roaring reprise.

Basically guys, it's a jungle out there.

The high street, too, is full with animal print this season, meaning you’re spoiled for choice. From Zara’s high-shine snake jacket and trousers co-ord to Topshop’s zebra tote, you can go head-to-toe or simply dip into the trend. Whether you stick to timeless pieces or embrace wilder colourways, animal print will remain at the top of the fashion chain for quite some time.

So, I have been an animal print fan since years now, I guess since my passion for fashion developed. I have this print in various formats in my wardrobe starting from a belt, shoes, bag, clutch and a skirt. So, when I saw that this season its crazily trending, I just had to dig all my animals out from my closet ....hahaha.

But I was also tempted to add a snake print outfit in my wardrobe, which is the new king of the jungle this season. So, I picked this really chic Snake Print blazer from Shein India. I felt the blazer is very versatile and so easy to style. I styled it with my Besrkha bodysuit and skinny flared jeans from Zara. Also these jeans are my current favorite this season. I digged out my snake print red boots which i had picked up last year from Koovs online. So you see i have quite few animals hidden in my closet.

Have a look at my Snake print blazer look.

If you are a true animal print lover , then your wardrobe is incomplete without a Leopard print. Luckily the brown spotty pattern is super versatile. This print is the most classic print and has always been a fashionistas favourite. Also if you have a skirt in this print then you are sorted . There's a reason the leopard print skirt has been a favorite amongst the fashion set this season: it's easy to work into your wardrobe and makes for an instantly chic look. So when i digged into my closet i found this old leopoard print skirt fom Zara.This skirt is easily about 7 years old. This says it all , that this is such a classic print which always comes back in fashion almost every fall season. Also i was happy to see that i still fit into this skirt. I styled it with this mango yellow blazer again from Zara. Blazers have been such a huge trend this year. I love how it just uplifts your entire personality and makes you look powerful . Also do notice my leopard spots shoes ,again an old pair from Zara.
