The trend we can’t get enough of: snakeskin print

Take a walk on the wild side with the latest craze in the fashion world: snakeskin print. We love it for its amazing versatility and status.

Vogue dubbed it the new neutral and High Snobiety says it hints at danger; whatever your feeling about snakeskin print, you can’t avoid its trending status. We’re drawn to it for its versatility – it pairs well with the wardrobe staples you likely already own, and it looks fantastic on skirts, blouses, trousers, dresses, shoes, bags, purses, clutches; you name it. Here’s why you need more of this print in your life.

IT ELEVATES A MINIMALIST WARDROBE

If you consider yourself a minimalist, this is one of the few prints you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe, either by way of a key piece of clothing such as a blouse or dress, or with accessories such as a clutch, a pair of boots or a handbag. Opt for this print in neutral colours – think nude, grey, muted brown, white and cream – to go with the rest of your minimalist palette. This print will instantly add interest to an otherwise standard look.

IT MAKES A BOLD STATEMENT

If Virgil Abloh’s SS19 Off-White catwalk looks are anything to go by, then luminous, acid washes of snakeskin print are definitely the way to go if you’re not afraid to stand out. Bright but not garish, this take on the trend is stylish and sophisticated. If you aren’t into the bright versions of this print, keep it classic – it still makes an impact because, well, it’s animal print.

IT’S BOTH CASUAL AND DRESSY

The best kind of trend, and one well-worth investing in, is one that can be used for all occasions. We love that we can dress the print up for a special night out, or down for a casual Friday. Whatever your preference or style, incorporating snakeskin print in its many shapes, colours and forms is an easy way to breathe new life into your wardrobe.
