I’m a long-time believer that animal print is a neutral. For years, I stuck to easy pops of leopard print — like a shoe, scarf or small bag — to amp up my everyday basics. But this autumn, the huge animal print trend has my enthusiasm reaching new heights. I want it all: from this boxy python blazer to everyday ballet flats and midi-length slip skirts.
