When it comes to animal print-related fashion trends, it’s safe to say The Cheetah Girls walked so Tiger King could run. While binge-watchers everywhere have been captivated with Joe Exotic’s zany personality and the murder-mystery of what happened to Carole Baskin’s husband, they’ve also been obsessed with the ~unique~ fashion within the series. The animal print clothing trend ignited by Tiger King has officially taken over, and while leopard print is always in style, tiger print might be giving it a run for its money in 2020. Still, animal prints of all varieties are cool right now, so grab your Carole Baskin best and get ready to dress up, tiger style. Rawr.
If bold patterns intimidate you, animal prints should definitely be your first foray into the world of statement dressing. Why, you ask? Unlike most polka dots, paids or zig zag prints you might come across at the mall, the majority of tiger stripes and cheetah prints are neutral in color, so you can pair them with black, brown or white without worrying about a potential clash. While Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin leaned towards more over-the-top animal print lewks, you can totally incorporate one or two tiger-inspired pieces into your wardrobe without looking like you just stepped out of a cub-petting sesh at the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park.
If you’re ready to give the trend a whirl and embrace your inner big cat, read on for some stylish (and a few funky) animal-printed picks below, all guaranteed to help you look fierce AF.
