Hello beauties! Can you believe it’s November?!!! I almost fell out of my seat when a co-worker said this past Thursday made it exactly 2 weeks to Thanksgiving! (Shudder).  Anyhoo, animal print is a timeless wonder that will always be in style. And what’s great about it is there are oh so many ways to wear this glorious print. Whether you opt for Zebra, Cheetah, Leopard or Snakeskin in their typical hues or their more colorful variations, bottom line is you can’t go wrong with animal print! Check out below for how to wear animal print like a pro. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions! You can leave a comment or shoot me an email at [email protected]. Plus! Scroll for a free printable/pinnable for easy reference! Great for printing and keeping in your closet as a reminder or you can pin to pinterest for later.

How to Wear Animal Print like a Pro:

Wear an animal print top or sweater with:

  • Leather pants for a night out.
  • Jeans.
  • A pencil skirt for work.
  • A flared or A-line skirt. Just tuck it in!
  • A sleeveless dress so the dress becomes a “jumper.â€
