This season, the catwalk and shops are all still featuring some of my favorite recent trends, like the military look and of course subtle (and not-so-subtle!) animal prints. They’re so much fun to wear, but it’s also easy to go overboard and look foolish. It’s best of course to just wear one key piece per outfit, and that one piece should really be unique and fabulous. Here are 7 gorgeous animal prints for fall…

When I was little, I used to dress up in my grandmother’s leopard-print faux fur coat. It was so glamorous, but obviously, one doesn’t need to wear an entire coat of leopard print, just a few details will do. Like, for example, the trim here, along the cuffs, pockets, hood, and pockets. Very chic!

Would you wear these to work, or would all of the other girls be jealous? They’re so on-trend, so incredibly chic, the claws could come out… though I suppose you could just offer to share. Pair with an otherwise modest outfit, and let your blue and black cheetah print peep-toe heels do the stalking.
