Release the beast: embrace your inner animal with these 15 stylish animal print pieces

Go ahead, release your inner beast

1/16

Today is World Wildlife Day - a day dedicated solely to celebrating our beloved animals that we share the planet with. From the spikey to the slimy, the feathery to the furry...we love all. So we figured, what better way to pay homage to the creatures than rockin’ their print in our ensembles!

Animal print will always be readily available in the style stakes - it’s a timeless fashion staple. We love both the versatility of the print as well as the variations - you can stun onlookers in snake, lebra, leopard, tiger print etc.

But please remember when it comes to wearing animal print - always go faux.

Check out our top 15 favourite animal print pieces that are available to purchase online now. 

 

Ruched Leopard-Print Silk-Cady Midi Dress

2/16

D&G know how to play on the sexuality of the female curves, and this leopard print dress is leading front line.

Animal print, particularly leopard, has connotations of sophistication and expensive taste, all mixed with a very overtly sexual aura.  

Add a lick of red lipstick and some heels with this dress and you’ll bowl him over on first glance.

3/16

This ASOS own collection slip dress is perfect for the girl who wants to enjoy some print but dislikes all the brown and orange tones.

Thought animal print made you look cheap? Think again. We cannot get over how beautiful this one-piece swimsuit is by Zimmermann.

Team it with a chunky gold statement necklace and heeled wedges for the ultimate ‘resort’ style.

We think these sandals should belong in everyone’s closet.  They’re comfy, cute, printed and easy to wear - you can literally team these with anything.

Rather than the standard black or plain sandals, these will elevate your outfit with just a tickle of extra style, and at a purse-friendly budget too.

Animal-Print Scuba Pencil Skirt

9/16

We figured this pencil skirt is deal for date night. It says ‘sexy’ but not overtly provocative as it skims your knee and is semi high-waisted, whilst hugging your female curves.  

You come across confident but alluring. Team with black mesh blouse and some black stiletto heels for full-on first date POW!

What easier way to brighten up your dreary gym days than with some cobra print pieces.  

This sports bra (can also purchase matching leggings) will give you all the drive you need to get up early and get your workout done.  

Who ever said sportswear had to be practical and thus boring obviously didn’t know where to shop.

Distressed Leopard-Print Low-Rise Skinny Jeans

11/16

We’re obsessed with these printed skinny jeans.  They showcase that actually, animal print can be edgy, cool and on-point. The high rise style with cropped hem finish makes them great for weekend plans, albeit with the boy or your girls.

Pair with pumps and oversized t-shirt. Sorted.

Every savvy Singaporean will have their go-to pair of sunnies.  Make them extra special with these cat eyed leopard print pair from London based designer Stella McCartney.

Lace-Trimmed Leopard-Print Silk-Crepon Midi Dress

13/16

This crepon dress hits all the right current trends, what with the print and tiered ruffle black lace combo on the tulle skirt. It is literally a ‘how many trends can we fit into one ensemble’ type of purchase.

It is perfect for that Monday morning meeting where you need a fuss-free outfit that still screams ‘don’t mess with me’.

14/16

Maybe you feel print is too bold or ‘out there’ for outside, but you like the idea of owning a printed piece. No stress, ASOS delivers with this satin indoor robe.

Ideal for the lazy days we all crave after a hectic working week, this robe will make you feel less like a tiger, more like a pussy cat.

Isabell Zebra-Print Chiffon Jumpsuit

15/16

 



There was no way we’d leave zebra print out, it’s one of our favourites.  The black and white element of this particular animal print makes it universally easy to wear.  Nothing says ‘understated style’ than a monochrome one piece.

This chiffon jumpsuit is thus your must-buy for a wardrobe upgrade.  Due to the slightly see-through quality of the material, it’s better to be worn in ‘resort’ mode aka lounging by the pool or on your vacay beach trip.

L'Agent by Agent Provocateur Zebra Print Chiffon Jumpsuit, $240 at Net-a-porter

Cashmere Animal-Print Duster Cardigan

16/16

If the idea of full-on animal print is too much for you to handle, this cashmere cardigan could be just the thing.  In a soft and flattering grey, the animal print heavily features on the shoulders but becomes sparse as it ‘falls’ down the garment.

Team with a white tee and black denim shorts for ‘pop to the shops’ outfit, or skinny jeans and heels with a bodice if you’re heading out to dinner.
