Urban Jungle Style

Have fun with your fall wardrobe by adding some on trend animal print pieces. From reptile to cheetah, accessories to blazers, there are lots of ways to kick your closet into high gear with prints that get noticed.

Scoop neck dress

Take a walk on the wild side (fashion-wise, at least) in this simple silk snake print scoop neck dress ($264). The sleeveless serpentine frock is perfect for the office but can easily be an evening staple with heels and a statement necklace.

Semi-sheer blouse

Blouses need not be boring. Case in point: this one in electric blue animal print ($88). Not only is the color ultra-vibrant (you’ll get noticed in this), the blouse is semi-sheer, another fall trend worth taking note of. Pair with black skinny trousers and motorcycle boots for effortless seasonal style.

Heels

If you need to add some variety to your shoe collection, we suggest starting with this gorgeous pair of Isaac Mizrahi cap toe heels in an eye-catching zebra print ($140). Whether you’re wearing them with a pencil skirt at work or dark denim on a night out, they’ll easily pull your outfit together and make a statement.

Tote

Brave the urban jungle with ease when you’ve got this Tory Burch cheetah print mini tote on your arm ($195). The stylishly structured bag is a great way to add interest to an otherwise neutral outfit and it’s the perfect take-anywhere size.

Top

Our cheetah print obsession continues with this flowy silk Alice + Olivia top ($195) with a scoop neck and cap sleeves. This piece pairs easily with black pants (add a blazer for the office) or dark denim (throw on some heels for evening) and offers a fun way to wear the animal print trend.

Blazer

We were drawn to this fitted jacquard blazer in gray and white animal print on sight ($90). It’ll be the perfect accompaniment to skinny jeans and heels and will add some serious edge to anything you might wear to the office.

I've never really been one for animal prints, but I love the black and white blazer and the cheetah prints! Cheetahs were my favorite animals growing up, so it'd be nice to incorporate that pattern into my wardrobe!
