Wild Style: 20 Animal-inspired accessories we want
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:02
Embrace your animal instincts and take a walk on the wild side with our pick of accessories that range from bags to shoes.
Accessories can make or break an outfit. They’re also a great way to express our personalities and allow others an insight into what makes us tick. Why then do we choose the same old, same old when we can break out of the mould and be individualistic with our accessories? This summer, bypass the usual suspects and add animalistic allure to your looks with fun and daring animal-inspired accessories.
Ever since Kenzo‘s wildly popular Tiger sweaters, animal designs and prints have been a big feature in the fashion world. The fuzzy faces of some of our favourite animals have made their way onto almost every clothing item we can think of and now that they’ve conquered our outfits, they’re making their presence felt in our accessories too!
Incorporating these animal inspired accessories into your outfit shouldn’t be hard. Simply think of them as your statement pieces and dress like how you would when you’re wearing a statement necklace or bag.
The beauty of these bold animal accessories is that it only takes one item to make your whole outfit stand out. The key is to keep it simple and either work your outfit around one big eye-catching piece, or balance it out with other accessories.
Never go all out when it comes to animal prints. If you know you’re going to be wearing your sexy leopard print pumps, don’t try to pair it with a leopard print dress or, worse still zebra prints! Keep the bold prints to one accessory (either bag or shoes, not both) and try to limit the animals you wear on yourself at one go, unless you want to look like you’ve raided the zoo for your outfit.
Ready to work your animal inspired accessories? From fun cowboy rings to bold leopard print shoes, we’ve hunted down the finest animal accessories that will make any outfit fierce and fashionable!
