While we love a good leopard print here at Elegancy101, this autumn is all about borrowing from another member of the animal kingdom: snakes!
Snake is gorgeous, plastic, and full of grace. But at the same time we are all afraid of that creation. Snakes are mean, wise and heartless. And have the most beautiful skin in the world! From the Ancient times women tried to make snake print dresses.
Snake print has gained popularity after appearing in numerous spring runway shows, while celebs have recently been spotted rocking this print on the red carpet. Both Dolce & Gabbana and Prada had snake print dresses in their spring-summer 2011 collections. Gucci created numerous bags featuring snake print detailing in a variety of colors. This animal-prints is rich in colors, has interesting textures, and variety of prints to choose from.
Now that snake print pieces are finally trickling down to retailers, fashionistas everywhere can test out this autumn trend. The print has a sultry and mysterious vibe, making it the perfect choice to add a little edge to your wardrobe. Snake print may seem a little intimidating to wear, but it’s actually super-easy to pull off!

How to Wear Snake Print
Need a little outfit inspiration before you’re ready to rock some snake print? Here are two ways to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe:
A great way to wear this trend for daytime is by rocking snake print shoes, like these Carlos By Carlos Santana Privilege Heels (collage: Image 5). Pair it with a simple T-shirt and a laid-back winter blouse. And tuck the T-shirt in your high-waisted denim skinnyjeans. Finally, accessorize with some unique cuff bracelets (collage: Image 2).
What about the Parker Ruffle Wrap Dress (collage: Image 1) in a bold blue snakeskin print. This charmeusse dress will flatter many body types and feel luxurious on. Isn’t this snake print dress awesome? Its neutral color and subtle pattern make it a versatile piece that can be styled countless ways. However, for this look, I chose items to style the dress for a fun night out. Wear the dress with a wide belt in order to cinch the waistline and add some interest. Then add some edge with cool wedges and a sleek clutch (collage: Image 8). Since the rest of the outfit is so bold, you just need some delicate earrings to complete this look.
