This season, be ready to show your wild side by wearing animal prints. From zebra prints to the never ending tiger one’s body hugging animal prints have never gone out of fad, and this season in New York to Paris, this animal theme was adopted with a variety as never seen before. Wear animal prints with combination of classic, hot and neutral colors and bring out the wilder you, because that is all what animal prints are about.

This season comes with a rush of metallic and hot colors, don’t shy back and experiment! Wear the animal prints according to your size by scaling them. While tiger and cheetah prints look stunning on almost all of the people, large prints like cow or giraffe have lot of white space in them and hence are difficult to pull off. Spring and summer 2009 heralds with an 80’s feel, complete with short suits and shoulder pads with the Catwoman effect using the animal prints. Designers all over the world especially in New York, Paris and London are showcasing jackets with a wide variety of sleeves worn over animal printed vests and cheetah printed lowers.

If you’re not that into “wearing” animal prints why not show that side of yours with a simple accessory? Accessories like normal pens, to funky handbags and jewelry are sure to bring out the full-on glamour look of a model in anyone. Grecian dresses and opaque look are another “In” thing this season with softness the key word when it comes to materials, combined with the tiger look using animal prints. Ralph Lauren’s gold dusted safari collection and Yves Saint Laurent’s safari collection in New York fashion week is a must for every bold woman out there who is not afraid to reveal her hidden side to the world.
