How to combine animal print: the ultimate guide
Animal print is back with a vengeance this season. How do you choose to wear it?
Animal print, the wild and daring print that has marked territory in fashion for decades, continues to be one of the top trends season after season. Evoking the beauty and majesty of nature, this pattern can take even the drabbiest look from ordinary to extraordinary. But how do you tame this fierce print without going overboard? At Discover by MANGO we take you on a fashion safari, exploring how you can incorporate animal print into your wardrobe in a stylish and sophisticated way, no matter what the occasion.
Animal print, what colour does it go with?
Let's start with the main course: mixing colours. Animal print is a versatile print that can be combined harmoniously with a wide range of colours. Neutral tones such as black, white and beige are always a safe bet, as they allow the print to shine in all its glory.
We suggest going one step further and stepping out of your comfort zone by opting for bright colours such as passion red, emerald green or cobalt blue. The trick to getting it right the first time without overloading the look? Complement it with plain accessories, for example, with a maxi bag in neutral tones and simple black shoes. You can also add minimalist jewellery in metal or natural stone, always prioritising golden tones.
How to combine animal print trousers for an irresistible look
As fun as printed trousers are, they're not always the most practical piece of clothing, are they?
Matching prints may seem like a task for an expert, but with our simple tips, you can create irresistible looks. Let's start: for a casual look, nothing could be easier than pairing your animal print trousers with a basic white T-shirt and a pair of light-coloured trainers with a chunky sole.
Prefer a more sophisticated touch? Let the black invade the rest of the outfit: opt for a blouse, heels, sunglasses and a small bag in dark tones.
Ultimately, the key to successfully pairing animal print trousers is to let simplicity dominate the rest of the outfit and let the trousers be the centre of attention.
Matching an animal print dress: a flirtation between prints and textures
An animal print dress adds a bold and vibrant touch that makes it the centrepiece of any casual and sophisticated outfit. The trick? Carefully choose the rest of the clothes and accessories you add to the look.
Start by choosing a dress that makes you feel more comfortable and confident. It could be a classic leopard dress, a black and white zebra option, or even a snake print for a more exotic touch.
To balance out the bold print of the dress, opt for clothes and accessories in neutral tones. When it comes to shoes, the choice will depend on the type of look you want to achieve. For a casual chic look, white trainers or flat sandals in beige tones are the perfect match. For a more elegant look, opt for black or nude heels.
The key is to complete the look with pieces that don't detract from the animal print.
