WHAT’S HOT?
That Always Trendy Print, That’s What!
Happy Halloween Hot Friends!
I hope everyone has their costumes sorted out by now! I’m usually Frida Kahlo, but this year I’m switching it up. (Photo to come! :) ) I didn’t think Halloween could get any bigger, but it feels absolutely everywhere this year. Is it just me? Whatever you’re doing to celebrate, I hope it’s fun and safe—and maybe just a little fabulous.
Now, let’s talk about one of my all-time favorite trends: leopard print!
Every year I laugh when the fashion reports declare, “Animal prints are back!” Really? When did they ever leave? I’ve been wearing them for 40+ years—and have the pieces to prove it. Animal print has been around for centuries, evolving from a symbol of status and power in ancient civilizations to a modern classic shaped by designers and Hollywood icons. (Who can forget Anne Bancroft in The Graduate?)
Animal prints are timeless, surprisingly neutral, and endlessly chic—basically the fashion equivalent of camel, khaki, or even black and white. So don’t fear the leopard! Start small with a pop of print to add instant personality to your fall wardrobe.
Here are six pieces that will do just that.
And IMHO, animal prints pair best with bold gold jewelry. Fortunately, we have some great new pieces on Hot that fit the bill perfectly.
