Experienced fashionistas may have no problem mixing different animal prints, but if you are just starting to wear these prints, it is best to choose only one animal print per style.

If you mix different patterns or a pattern of different colors, they are probably not harmonious. If you still want to wear more than one animal print to garment, make sure the prints are identical, like the snake prints Jennifer Lopez is wearing in the photo below.

Boldly colored clothing can certainly look fabulous, but like combining various animal prints, wearing bright colored stripes and spots may require some knowledge and experience.

If you want to feel more confident and comfortable with your “wild” appearance, choose natural colors that are close to the true colors of an animal’s skin.

When you feel more confident, you can experiment with colors.

If combining animal print with something else is still a challenge for you, choose a classic cut dress with animal print in a natural color and combine it with simple and elegant monochrome accessories, or do not use any accessories.

These Jennifer Lopez (top) and Kim Kardashian (bottom) outfits are good examples of this principle of animal fashion.
