I am someone who loves spending time on Instagram and Pinterest; I’ll admit it. I have my algorithm so well trained that, when I look for outfit inspiration, it doesn’t take long to find the trends I can adapt to my capsule wardrobe. And one of them has been animal print jackets.
Their wide range of prints goes from the classic leopard, which continues to captivate those who don’t complicate things, to deer-print looks with deer skin texture. Not forgetting other classics like zebra, or in its more discreet version, the crocodile.
Their ’80s-inspired vibe brings back the fun and the striking flair of the decade. I personally like them because they remind me of characters like Fran Fine in The Nanny, an Italian mob wife, or the looks of the characters from Dynasty. The best part is that you don’t need to overthink it to wear them daily. You can pair them with your trusted jeans, with leather pants that bring out your sexier side, or even with tailored pieces, pleated skirts, or over simple dresses.
