Snakeskin print outfits: How to wear snakeskin print in three different ways

We talked about cherry prints being the up-and-coming print in the summer... now that we are in the middle of winter, what is the IT print for the season? The answer: Snakeskin print.

The python-inspired print dominated the runways a couple years ago and is coming back in a huge way thanks to the 2000s fashion revival we're seeing! It has been so popular that you can find basically anything in a snakeskin print right now. Wondering how to wear it? Stay tuned to see how to wear the hottest print of the season:

1. Snakeskin Print Top Outfit

I recommend wearing neutral tones (such as black and white) with a bold print like snakeskin so the print can be the focal point of your outfit. I especially love the brown tones in this snakeskin print bodysuit - the bodysuit essentially acts as a neutral that works with many other colors!

Further accentuate the golden brown hues in the bodysuit with accessories: I added a belt and layered necklaces to give the outfit some extra interest and flair.

2. Snakeskin Print Skirt Outfit

Flowy calf-length skirts have been making a huge comeback lately, so why not wear two trends with one item? This snakeskin skirt is classic and elegant; pair it with an oversized sweater and western booties to complete an uber-on-trend look.

Not only can this skirt be worn in the winter time, it's also perfect for the summer season (or spring break). Swap the sweater out for a vintage graphic tee, and the boots for a pair of chunky white sneakers.

3. Snakeskin Print Dress Outfit

A long snake print dress exudes serious bohemian vibes while being completely on trend. Pair the dress with other Western-inspired accessories such as a buckle belt and western boots to create this look.

Alternatively, for a more casual look in the summer, you could swap out the boots for a pair of gladiator sandals and a Panama hat.

Sometimes the little things make a big difference... try out the trend with subtle but statement-making accessories:

What I like about this trend is that the print is not limited to one color! Snakeskin print comes in a massive range of colors and that would go well with many items in your wardrobe. From a subtle, black snakeskin belt to a bold, silver snakeskin backpack, pick an accessory that will enhance your outfit the best without committing too much!
