I\u2019m calling an emergency meeting of all teens and tweens of 2010-2012: Dare I say it, but animal prints of the 2010s variety are back in a big way\u2014and before you shutter, we\u2019re doing it way cooler<\/em> this time. Immediately no to the insanely tight zebra-print jeans and Snooki cheetah of our closets’ pasts. Instead, file animal prints in the wearable neutrals category in a way that impactfully matches most. Say it with me: elevated, chic, and timeless.\n<\/p>\n

And while we are all for zebra and cheetah prints, we\u2019re expanding our horizons this go-around. How refreshing to see fawn (aka deer and doe), tiger, pony, cow\u2014the animal kingdom isn\u2019t an exclusive club these days. I\u2019ll hold your hand as I walk you through some starter options. Trust me: Your first animal-print back will unlock a playful aura \u00e0 la the golden days of the 2000s that\u2019ll leave you shopping for more.\n<\/p>\n

Not all of my picks are so bold, but why bury the lead\u2014these pants are the embodiment of confident, fashionable, and iconic. I\u2019m loving the flattering mid-rise fit and wide-leg combo. Pairing them with a white T-shirt, a leather jacket, and black booties allows them to have their moment. Or double down with the matching top. You can even plan for both when going from day to night.\n<\/p>\n

Still cool but not so in-your-face, this leopard print dress proves this trend can also be dreamy and romantic. Extra points for the matching scarf\u2014you’re basically getting two pieces for the price of one. I\u2019d wear this to work with an oversized black blazer or out on a date night with a black-suede trench\u2014she\u2019s versatile.\n<\/p>\n

Pony print isn\u2019t as been-there-done-that as other prints; it\u2019s surprisingly unexpected if you ask me. If you want to dip your toe into this trend, a flat is the perfect place to begin. Styled with your favorite baggy jeans, and voil\u00e0, your look is effortlessly cool.\n<\/p>\n

Another non-committal option is this tiger purse designed by Devon Lee Carlson for Reformation. Brown and black are the color pairing of the season, and we love to see it all dressed up in animal print. This bag will be the perfect oomph for your look, making an impression without being too loud.\n<\/p>\n

Another color of the season is red\u2014and, seeing as silk scarves are also back, this pick checks three major fall trend boxes. And who doesn\u2019t want to be wrapped in delicious silk? This purchase wins across the board.\n<\/p>\n

Similar to pony print, fawn is a fun, fresh take on animal prints\u2014it\u2019s giving sweet and soft verses some of the bolder, stronger patterns in this category. Even better: This faux fur jacket feels exactly how this print looks\u2014a satisfying match made in Asos heaven.\n<\/p>\n
