Animal Print Dresses FAQs

How do you style animal print dresses?

Animal print dresses are designed to steal the limelight in any outfit. For easy styling, let your print shine against block-coloured separates and accessories in understated neutral hues. To take a bolder approach, introduce vibrant colours, including red and orange, or bring in some contrast with indigo denim. It’s best to resist the temptation of adding attention-grabbing jewellery or any other prints, as this can make things fussy.

What are the different types of animal print?

While a leopard print dress is an all-time classic, there are plenty of other animal prints to experiment with. On the big-cat theme, you’ll find tiger and cheetah in warm tones. Cow, zebra and Dalmatian-inspired print dresses all combine black and white for a monochrome look. Abstract animal patterns combine different elements without focusing on one specific species. Look for crocodile or snake effects if you like a geometric design. The impact your print has will depend on the scale, as well as the colour.
