TREND: Animal Magic

TREND: Animal Magic

Faithful Fashionistas never change their spots. Print is always in vogue and animal print, specifically, adds a wild side that us students are attracted to every time. This season, numerous catwalk collections prolonged the trend, suggesting our love for leopard print and others isn’t fading just yet. As I noted last week, Topshop Unique was "Dalmatian divine," showcasing outstanding spotted prints and fun faux fur. For another playful take on the trend, Vogue’s "Animal Magnetism" trend report is perfect for those who wish to appear fashionable and up to date, but aren't afraid to have some fun with fashion!

This week’s Fashionista channels the animal print look in a floaty vest with gold zip pocket detail from Topshop. Get one for yourself here! The black and brown print is modernised with a computer-generated effect; digital print was seen on the catwalk from the likes of Mary Katrantzou and Georgia Hardinge. So, you know this top is a winner! Whatever your personal style, unleash your own animal instincts with these fierce pieces: Zara’s sophisticated blazer, Oasis’s funky snood, Urban Outfitter’s trendy tee or this imaginative mesh bangle from Miss Selfridge.

As leopard print works best on black, today’s Fashionista layers her choice over a bodycon mini skirt and opaque tights. To cover up, heavy knitwear provides the answer. Tick off two trends in one with this animal print woollen jumper. Wear with comfy ballet pumps and a stylish satchel bag like this student does and you’ll be ready to prowl.

Style On,
