Don't get me wrong—I'm never forgoing my neutrals. They remain the backbone of my closet and the cure to the What Should I Wear? syndrome that so often hits right before I need to head out the door. That being said, I'm all for finding new options that act as staple pieces, without necessarily being so black and white (no pun intended, but that too). This season, animal print has been the definitively standout trend, and while a leopard look is chic and timeless, I'm personally leaning more toward snake-print pieces.
To me, they feel edgier and more unexpected while offering the same "basic" feel as the neutrals in my wardrobe. At the moment, I'm trading in a snake-print blouse for my normal white top, and serpent-inspired boots and bags over my normal go-to accessories. In other words, this trend is undoubtedly replacing every classic piece I own. Whether you're leaping into this trend headfirst or hoping for a subtler approach, scroll to shop the MyTheresa.com pieces that will help you tackle the trend.
