Gone with the "WILD"

Wild prints continue to be spotted from the runway to the local department stores. While never truly out of style, animal print fabric has been experiencing a resurgence of late.  Spring/Summer 2011 has jungle fever; from clothes to accessories and even footwear. With so many options to choose from it is easy to become overwhelmed and wind up looking like a Flintstone movie extra. Create a stylish look using animal prints and these basic guidelines.
Pair your leopard print piece with a black base, or add animal print accessories to a mainly black ensemble. Black leather goes well with animal prints and gives off a dangerous, powerful vibe.
Choose a pattern that suits your figure. Petite women can wear small prints, while full figures and tall women can get a way with larger prints.
Tip toe into the jungle with a pair of leopard print ballet flats. They can be worn with skinny black pants through out the season. Animal skin stilettos are also seen this season and can replace your basic black for some fashion fun.
Minimal accessories are needed when wearing wild prints. Since the print itself draws the eye anything extra will visually fight with the pattern. Think of making a solid backdrop for whatever animal print piece you want to showcase. Take advantage of the optical illusions animal prints can cause. Draw attention towards your best features by accenting them with wild prints. Wrap a leopard, tiger or giraffe print scarf close to your face, or tie it low in front of your body like a long necklace. This will visually slim you with the V-shape it forms. If you want to hide your hips and thighs in plain site, pair a dark solid bottom with an animal print blouse.Exotic animal prints can be paired with smoky eyes, or stained red lips for a classic look. It is often recommended to choose to emphasize either the lips or the eyes, not both. Whichever you choose, apply make up carefully, this look is one that will be noticed and you probably don't want to be noticed for hastily applied make-up. Hair can be worn slicked back, placed in a low pony tail or otherwise left simple.
