If like me you’re a confessed hoarder and keep all your old clothes just in case you’ll be able to fit into them again or hope they’ll be back in fashion soon you’re in luck, as this season’s trend is an old favourite screaming hakuna matata. This spring bold animal prints are back and personally I hope they’re here to stay. Admittedly I’m no fashionista, but if you won’t take my word for it who are we to argue with Roberto Cavalli and Donna Karan?
Ladies it’s time to put those winter frocks away and embrace the big five, after all we wouldn’t want the time and effort put into designing these crafty tribal prints to go to waste. Donna Karan’s spring collection showcased a tribal print skirt to die for teamed with a chic part velvet crop top. Now if like me you simply don’t have hundreds of pounds to spend on an outfit fear not for the Australian brand, Reverse, offer a fetching cut out zebra stripped dress available from Asos at a student friendly price of just £48. This outfit is perfect for a night out and cosmopolitans with the girls or that well deserved holiday you know you’re dying to book. Even if you don’t have anywhere to wear it, it’s a must have so treat yourself.
Other Afrocentric trends showcased included Salvatore Ferragamo’s silk scarf leopard print maxi dress. The design combines both sophistication and a dash of sex appeal, showing just enough skin to make the dress a statement of seduction. For a look that won’t break the bank why not try visiting Lipsy and purchasing the leopard print hourglass belted bust dress for a look that’s easy to transfer from day to night. Not into girly dresses? Don’t beat yourself up about it, this season has a little something to offer everyone. Try teaming a pair of black skinny jeans with a leopard print bodysuit instead, or dare to be different and opt for the Reverse tribal pattern bodysuit instead also available from Asos.
Let’s face it, no outfit would be complete without accessories so if you daren’t brave the Afrocentric look, why not go for a subtle ensemble and share our love of the trend by adding accessories to your outfit. A simple way to spice your outfit up would be to make sure you are seen with the dalmatian spot cross body bag available from Topshop at the bargain price of just £25, it goes perfectly with most outfits and is convenient for day and night use. If you’re still feeling chilly and can’t afford a holiday why not settle for the Next animal print blazer, finishing your look off in style: practical and chic, what more could a girl ask for?
