Bella B How To’s: Styling Animal Print

Animal prints are a huge trend this fall/winter season and we absolutely love it!  It’s the perfect way to make a statement and be daring while still wearing subtle, neutral tones.  There are so many ways you can style animal prints.  You can go for a casual daytime look with a subtle, small print or you can really make your night look bold with a larger animal print.  We’ve styled a few outfits with some of our favorite animal printed pieces for any look you may want, whether it’s just a purrr of animal print, a roaring statement, or a fierce and fiesty look.

For a subtle, daytime take on animal prints, try a top that has a very small, subtle print to it.  This top is perfect for any daytime look because the neutral shades make it super easy to match and the simple t-shirt style silhouette adds a casual touch.  We like this paired with a drapey cardigan, skinny jeans, and some cool olive green combat boots to add a slight touch of color to the look.   See how an animal print can make a simple outfit combination look a little bit more dressed up?  It’s like a no brainer!

We love this bold leopard printed cardigan.  It’s the perfect statement piece that works with tons of outfits and can really bring a look from drab to fab!  We like to add a bit of a bohemian touch when styling this cardigan to keep the look more cool and effortless, rather than too glam or bold for everyday.  Bringing out the neutral tones with the brown maxi skirt really tones down the cardigan and makes it appropriate for a casual day.  Pair with a cool pair of ankle boots and a scarf with a pop of color for the perfect fall look.

Now, we absolutely love a bit of animal print for a night out.  Why not go all out and really play against the fierce look of a bold animal print with a bit of leather and a lot of height with a tall heel?  This look would be perfect for a night out on the town with your best girl friends.  This gorgeous snakeskin printed top is ideal for the girl who is looking for versatility in her wardrobe.  You can dress it down with a simple pair of jeans and some flats during the day but paired with this faux leather circle skirt and these lace up booties, the top is transformed for a fiesty night out look.

The maxi skirt is an item that every girl needs in their wardrobe.  It’s comfortable, versatile, and fits any style.  You can also wear a maxi skirt in any season: by itself for spring/summer or with a pair of tights underneath for added warmth in the fall/winter.  We love this super soft and flowy burgundy maxi skirt because it’s the perfect color for this season and bonus: it’s only $28!  We’ve put together three everyday looks for this maxi skirt that are appropriate for any occasion, whether you’re out for lunch or headed to class.

We love pairing this skirt with a patterned crop top.  It makes your legs look slim and long and brings the eye up to the top.  We love how the skirt brings out the maroon tones in the top.  Both the pieces play against each other without taking to much attention away from each other.  Wear this look on a girls day out with some friends paired with your favorite comfy sandals.  If it gets chilly, throw on a longer cardigan to play with the proportions and keep the look elongated and flattering.

Product Information: Sweater, Skirt

Having one of those days where you can’t be bothered to fuss with jeans and a button up blouse but still want to look feminine and cute?  Pairing a maxi skirt and a slouchy sweater together is the perfect way to feel comfy while still looking girly.  We love the neutrals of the cream sweater, taupe scarf and brown sandals paired with the deep burgundy.  It keeps the look toned down while still being appropriate for fall.  If you’re having an ultra lazy day, pair this look with a messy bun and simple make up.

Product information: Kimono, Skirt

This is our favorite look that we’ve put together!  It’s got that effortless and bohemian feel that we love and is perfect for any occasion from a lunch date to just running some errands around town.  The plain crop top and maxi skirt really let the kimono sweater do the talking.  The slouchy kimono sweater’s neutral tones compliment the burgundy shade while the diamond striped pattern really brings visual interest and dimension to the look.  You could pair this look with some sandals on warmer days but we think it looks super cool paired with some black ankle boots for the fall.  Keep your hair down and stack up the rings to finish up the look.
