Animal Print Style Tip: Take a Look at How to Make Neutral Outfits Exciting

Today’s animal-print style tip is winding down my series on the topic. The next style tip will be the finale. In this post, we’ll take a look at how to give neutrals that extra dimension that takes them from blank canvas to finished portrait. Think of your outfit as a work of art with you as the subject. Age doesn’t matter because there is beauty in being your true self. So find your favorite animal and try adding at least a hint of it to your daily clothing creations!

Style Tip:

Use animal prints to add interest to an all-neutral outfit.

Animal prints are not just for fall. In spring, think urban safari. (See my safari outfit ideas HERE and HERE.) In summer, use lightweight materials and colored prints.

Accessories are an easy way to add some excitement to a neutral outfit. An animal-print scarf tied at waist over trousers can go from day to evening. Amazing, right?

One little animal-print accessory can make a world of difference in transforming a neutral outfit.

An animal print still makes an impact, even when it is in the same neutral colors as the rest of your outfit.

A simple tee is no longer simple when it’s in an animal print. It adds complexity to neutrals and laid-back basics.
