Trend/{Fashion} Highlight: Snake Print

November 9, 2011
Are you an animal print lover?  To tell you the truth, I never really loved animal prints (leopard, zebra, etc.)  . The prints seemed too loud for my more conservative fashion tastes.  But as time goes on, I find myself more and more attracted to animal prints – they pack a really fun edge to a printed dress or shoe.  The print for this season is the snake print (my mother’s most feared animal – can’t wear it around her!)  I’ve been on the fence about snake print, particularly in clothing, because I wasn’t sure if I would love the scaly look.Fortunately, designers must have consumers like me in mind because there are a variety of snake prints in more subtle hues and patterns. If I can get my hands in a snake print in a classic black, white or gray, with a smaller print, it could be versatile enough for work to weekend wear.

What do you think of snake prints?

Here are a few favorite picks:
1. MICHAEL Michael Kors sequined snake print jersey tank, Net-a-Porter, $80
2. ACNE shimmer snake print top, My Theresa, $135
3. Helmut Lang abstract snake print dress, The Outnet, $153
4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Red Snake print jersey dress, My-wardrobe.com, $425
5. Pour La Victoire Haya snake print pump, mauve, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, $15
6. Tory Burch Reva Ballet flat Almond Snake print flats, Jildor, $235

little luxury list

    great selection. love number six.

    I love all animal prints, but I’m with you about them generally being a bit loud for clothes. I’ve always managed to incorporate them in shoes and accessories. I think snake lends itself to a more conservative look because it’s a smaller, more delicate pattern. That Marc Jacobs dress is fantastic, and that’s a great price for Pour la Victoire shoes!

    I could definitely be into this trend.

  • amy b.s. November 9, 2011 at 15:07

    i don’t think i pull the animal print off very well, but i do like the look of it.

    Adore snake print – it’s a nice change up from leopard. I have a small, snake print dress from Zara that I’ve gotten major mileage out of.

  • FashionJazz November 9, 2011 at 15:44

    Love your selection!! 🙂 xx

    I usually go more for subtle leopard or zebra prints, but these are great finds! Maybe I should give snakeskin a try on a very feminine piece.

    lovely ensemble…

  • Elle Sees November 9, 2011 at 17:08

    I need more of this print in my clothes.

  • Oh to Be a Muse November 9, 2011 at 18:34

    like you, i’ve become more of a fan of animal print recently. definitely loving the michael kors tank.

  • Alena: Oh, It's Just Perfect! November 9, 2011 at 18:35

    I’ve never been a huge fan, but #4, #5 and #6 are making me change my mind!

  • Tanvi November 9, 2011 at 19:26

  • FRANKIE HEARTS FASHION November 9, 2011 at 20:22

    all about the snakeskin print and I adore #2!! xo

  • A Heel in Mint November 9, 2011 at 20:51

    I have to agree with you on this. The subtle colored ones and gorgeous textures have made the animal prints more wearable and sophisticated. 🙂

  • THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE November 9, 2011 at 20:53

    I’m a huge animal print lover. You probably know that already 🙂 Love snake too. I’m dying over the Marc dress! xoxo

    Thanks so much for your nice words on tumblr. I don’t know why I can’t reply to your comment. 🙁 I’m super into snake skin print these days too and your round-up have me yearning for more! 🙂

    I’ve never worn anything snake print before, but it looks nice. However, I feel like it doesn’t compliment me well or I don’t know how to rock it. I also wish pieces like this were available in my area to try on

    i like it on a shoe! haven’t tried it on another piece of clothing because i think it’s too bold for me.

  • MizzJ November 10, 2011 at 04:25

    Snake print is great! It’s subtler than leopard but still makes a statement. I think in darker tones it can look very sophisticated.

  • Lady G November 10, 2011 at 12:30

    I didn’t really like reptile prints. But No.5 shoes looks kind of nice. I might wear them.

  • abeautifullife.ca November 10, 2011 at 18:08

  • SassyUptownChic November 10, 2011 at 19:57

    I’m like you, I love the smaller prints. I love the snake prints. 😀
    Loving that dress you featured.

    For some reason snake print on clothes freaks me out. I like it on shoes and bags, though! I’ve always been a big fan of animal prints (especially leopard), so I’m not sure why I haven’t gotten fully on board with the reptile print trend.
