Everyone’s carrying animal print bags right now and I can see why
The perfect autumn accessory
I don’t know about you but I am not finding the transition into autumn winter fashion particularly easy right now. In part down to the changeable UK weather and, as a sunshine lover, my steadfast resistance to embrace all things cosy until I absolutely must, I’m still pretty much living in my spring summer styles. That’s not to say I’m not excited to dive into the autumn winter trends (chic indigo denim is practically calling my name) but just that, for now, I’d rather look for ways I can dip my toe into them without taking the full on autumn winter plunge.
Thankfully, the latest must-have item I’ve seen taking over my feed does just that. You see, right now, everyone is carrying animal print bags and it’s the perfect way to incorporate the animal print trend that’s set to take over this season seamlessly into your current wardrobe.
While on the catwalks it was leopard print that was leading the way, when it comes to this seasons must-have animal print bags there’s no leading species. I’ve spotted everything from snake print shoulder bags to leopard print totes and even cow print making an appearance.
And, while traditional neutral colour ways are the most popular, there really are no rules. Jimmy Choo’s rose toned cow print style twists convention on its head while & Other Stories bright green snake print style is anything but subtle.
And, it’s not just the animal print trend that these styles tap into. Pairing perfectly with the boho resurgence we’re currently having as well as the utilitarian aesthetic that’s set to take hold, these styles promise so much wear into the new season as well as working perfectly with your transitional wardrobe now.
So, if like me you’re looking for an easy way to introduce the new season into your wardrobe now (without the need for snuggly knitwear) then keep scrolling for my edit of the best animal print bags to shop now…
