Each season, trends set the course of fashion, usually with references from times gone by. Examples like the y2k aestheticthat reigned during spring-summer and will continue to do so when the cold arrives with tank tops, low-waisted pants or platforms; the aesthetics ‘preppy’, where sweet and feminine garments recall the best of the wardrobe of the wealthy of the 1990s; or the futuristic silhouettes, with metal clothing or in technical silhouettesThey run the station. Although not all of them come alone.
This fall/winter there are also other trends that, from a simple fad, have become a wardrobe staple. Example of this is animal printinternationally known as ‘Animal print’. A wild design that, despite being a slightly bold print, has established itself as an essential piece when it comes to building a good box ground and one of the most repeated patterns in the street style outfits. And it is that, if in the beginning animal print reigned mainly in specific items of clothing, such as a sweater, a jacket or a Jean, now it is expanding to suit everyone’s taste and we see leopard, zebra, tiger, snake prints to the most recent, the cow, in countless accessories and selected garments.
What kind of animal prints will prevail in 2022? The truth is that, despite the wide range and variety of possibilities, classics such as leopard or zebra lead the season. Of course far from that ideal beige and black or black and whitethese wild prints give room to creativity and offer new versions ranging from the most colorful leopard to animal graphics in denim or the patchwork combined with leopards, zebras and even snakes or tigers.
This winter we will continue to wear the animal print and there is no new trend or current to hold it back. The catwalk even dictates the maintenance of these garments through collections that are a true statement of intent. Examples such as the now historic Miu Miu winter collection, where unique ballet dancers are dressed in leopard liners. Also in total looks options, such as those for autumn / winter from international firms such as Michael Kors, Sacai or Roberto Cavalli.
