So after 26 years of actively rejecting animal print as anything more than a costume option, Cardi and Beyoncé turned me into a believer last fall and I have yet to look back. Both of these looks are as luxe and as extra as I aspire to be. This week I’ll showcase a few easy ways to add some catty vibes to your ensembs this summer.

Of the many ways to add animal print to your wardrobe, a midi leopard skirt is definitely my pick for easiest to style. With this look, you can throw on a blazer during the day and remove for a saucier date night ensemb. For a more casual vibe, you can simply swap out the silk cami and strappy sandals for a simple graphic tee and low-top kicks.

Some quality zebra print appreciation post bc it doesn’t always get as much shine as it deserves.

Animal print, in and of itself, is super extra BUT to really level up try an animal print piece in a fun, non-neutral colorway. I’m obsessed with this green and peach long sleeve button-up from Wacko Maria. If you really want to get in your Miami bag, you can rock it alone with a few buttons undone for a peek-a-boo chest moment or you can keep it lowkey and wear it as an over-layer with a simple tee. Tbh, there’s no better time than summer to wild out with prints and bare some thigh, so go forth and flourish.
