New York City’s best fashion girls stood out in crowds wearing zebra prints adorned on breezy, silk tank tops for the summer and in bossy yet cozy long coats for the winter. Invest in a high waisted zebra print skirt for the ultimate fashion piece of the year.

The grayish, muted tones of snakeskin were seen mostly in the form of badass boots and classy clutches, to make an unforgettable statement. Crocodile skin was especially popular in mini dresses and bucket bags in moody shades of maroon, green, and black to create the ideal fall attire that was understated yet stood out.

The reason animal print continues to be a fashion favorite amongst those who set the trends and are style icons is that it’s one of the fashion staples that effortlessly elevate an outfit instantly. It’s a classy but bold fashion statement that fulfills the fashion spectrum which goes from dark and sophisticated to funky and unapologetic, and we look forward to designers reviving the trend again and again for the coming revolution in fashion.
