Summer is reminiscent of fresh floral patterns, pastel colors and crisp white dresses. But, as you probably know by now, we like to think outside the box. We’re the type who likes to bring a little fall into spring and a touch of summer into winter. So it’s no wonder that we prefer summer animal prints.
We know we know It sounds like an oxymoron. But listen to us. While leopard, tiger, zebra, snake, and even giraffe prints seem appropriate for fall, they can actually work in the warmer months. Especially in combination with seasonal fabrics such as silk, cotton and linen.
And you don’t have to go hunting to find summer-ready options. From an airy two-piece in an eye-catching cheetah design to a cool romper to a jumpsuit inspired by ocelots, there are many coveted items. A quick suggestion: don’t rock animals from head to toe. You can match your top with your bottom, but if you throw in a fierce bucket hat and papa sandals, you’ve gone too far.
