Over 75 Ways to Wear Animal Print Tops
This is the first in a series on animal-print outfit ideas. I introduced this series with three style tips on some of the best, classic and popular ways to wear these prints. Today, the focus is on animal print tops.
This post starts with outfit combinations for blouses, shirts and tunics in animal prints. Future posts in the series will cover: the general colors that combine well, as well as ideas for how to pair animal prints with jackets, blazers, suits, skirts, faux leather pants, blue jeans and more. With all that variety of choices, age doesn’t matter!
Leopard print is my favorite animal print and maybe yours, too. Zebra print has made its way to the forefront of 2023 fashions. And there are lots more such as cheetah, snakeskin, zebra, tiger, cow and giraffe. If you want to stretch a bit, you could include graphic prints with birds, puppies, ladybugs, etc. I’ll include graphic tees such as these in my final post of the series.
I hope you’ll use this guide as inspiration to get new and interesting ways to wear all things animal. So let’s get started on this series with the many ways to wear animal-print tops!
