When fashion takes its inspiration from the animal world, it creates looks that cause a stir in the urban jungle. Animal print thrives on the play with contrasts: Sometimes it presents itself as dramatic, sometimes as subtle – and is therefore also perfect for a casual look. Find out here which animal prints are currently dominating the fashion scene and how to combine them.
What defines animal print
Nature was the inspiration here! Animal prints are large-scale patterns that are based on the skin or fur pattern of wild animals. Animal prints can be adapted and reinterpreted in many different ways, which means that they offer a great deal of creative freedom. The look transforms every single item into a real statement piece – especially when the clothes also incorporate other trends such as the Boxy Style.
High-quality fabrics like viscose underline the exceptional elegance of the outfits at MARC AUREL and make them as exquisite as the animal patterns they mimic. Extravagant trousers get just as much attention thanks to a sophisticated snake pattern as delicate skirts showing off leopard spots in a stylish way.
What we associate with the animal print
Eye-catching animal prints stand for the exotic, which has consistently been a source of great fascination. And there is always a hint of adventure. If you are looking for mystery and like to bring your wild side into the spotlight, animal prints are just right for you. In the urban jungle, animal print stands out as a true eye-catcher.
A foray into animal prints: Which animal prints are particularly trendy?
Leopard, snake and tiger – in the wild they rarely, if ever, meet, but in fashion they make for a good match: As exciting animal prints they adorn shirts, blouses and tops, but also dresses and accessoires such as belts and scarves. At MARC AUREL they form the top hottest animal prints.
Leopard print:
Leopard print is one of the most popular animal prints. The animals themselves are among the most dangerous predatory cats and fascinate with their majestic appearance. Their fur pattern is characterised by their leopard spots, also called rosettes, which now appear as patterns on trousers and tops and can be anything from casual to bold. The wilder the better!
Snake print:
The magic of the snake has become firmly established as an animal print: Typical of the snake print are the overlapping scales, that can be arranged in ever new geometric patterns, so that the snake pattern includes particularly varied designs. A mysterious animal print that looks feminine and elegant in equal measure. It works both with statement pieces like a blouse or as a complete look.
How to combine the animal print trend pieces
The exciting patterns are made for the city jungle: those who are particularly daring can create an all-over look with the animal print – you can even mix and match different animal patterns. Marc Aurel offers the right combinations.
If you prefer a more subtle look, use the animal print as an eye-catcher and go for simple basics, for example include it in the layering look. Leopard-print trousers look great on their own with a simple plain shirt or top. This is a great way to play with contrasts. It works just as well the other way round.
Leopard, snake and co. also find perfect styling combinations in pieces made of leather or denim, as they too evoke a sense of being wild.
In terms of colour, the animal trend gives you plenty of creative freedom, as the shades of animal-print trousers and shirts are currently rather muted. If you pick up the colours of the pattern in the rest of your outfit, it will look particularly stylish. Apart from that, black is also a good colour scheme.

Snake print:
The magic of the snake has firmly established itself as an animal print: Typical of the snake print are the overlapping scales, which can be arranged in ever new geometric patterns, so that the snake pattern encompasses particularly diverse designs. A mysterious animal print that looks feminine and elegant in equal measure. It works both with statement pieces like a blouse and in an all-over look as a second skin.
4. Zebra print:
Contrasting stripes form another eye-catching animal print that fashion designers have copied from nature. For the zebra, its striped pattern serves as camouflage, as a styling it relies on its hypnotic effect. In terms of fashion, the zebra print is not limited to black and white but is designed in many other colour combinations.
