With summer now in full swing, it’s the perfect time to try out those daring, whimsical pieces that are much more difficult to put to use during the colder months of the year. Luckily, this season, some of the most popular brands are leaning more toward statement-making items rather than minimalism. One trend in particular that is hard to miss is animal-themed prints. This lighthearted look is perfect to be paired with classic pieces and basics, or even another print to heighten the trend. Check out Zara’s Printed Top with Bow Sleeves, complete with strategically-placed bird detailing, making it easy to pair with the denim already in your closet. Similarly, Reformation’s Sparrow Dress is great for more formal occasions, while still maintaining a sense of amusement. For accessories, the Furla Metropolis Mini Cross Body Bag and the Alexander McQueen Printed Silk Scarf are finished with leopard and butterfly detailing in a apt vibrantly-hued color palette. Try pairing these with a neutral-shaded sundress or denim for everyday versatility.

Can you mix animal prints in one outfit? Seeing spots? How dare I wear leopard with more leopard! But look how I made it work – I wear two different color combinations of leopard print, and I separate the two with a solid, neutral color (my shorts).

One of the prominent trends spotted on the spring 2009 runway was most definitely leopard print. We saw the wild design in a spectrum of colors and speckled across everything from Louis Vuitton bags to Zac Posen dresses. Whether it’s a cocktail party or a day at the beach, these cool spots will certainly add some spice to your look.
We’ve gone on to find a variety of pieces flaunting this wild print — all for under $150!
The purple leopard print on this Sequin Safari Minidress, ($24.80 Forever 21), updates an otherwise ordinary going out dress, while the Leopard Lawn Annette Blouse, ($78, J.Crew), vamps up a modest look. Plan on keeping warm in this Black& Merino Leopard Print Cardigan ($88, Ann Taylor) or the Parfait Animal Print Cardigan ($118, Nordstrom). For the perfect accessory, this Dooney & Bourke Leopard Checkbook Clutch, on sale for $138.75 at Dillard’s, will lend even the classiest girl some wild cat edge, or try the NYC by Perlina Reversible Leopard Print Tote ($59.99, Target). No matter what item you choose, you’ll definitely be equipped with one of the most popular trends for 2009!
