From leopard and snake to cow and tiger – animal prints are dominating accessories for autumn/winter 19 and you can wear them already from just £10.
With zebra prints at Saint Lauren, leopard prints at Zimmermann and snake print at Roberto Cavalli on the autumn/winter catwalks, it’s no surprise the animal kingdom is having an impact on our outfit choices.
Leopard print is a longstanding favourite year after year, but this season any print inspired by animals goes. New season autumn pieces are dropping in, but while it’s still summer it’s too soon to be stockpiling winter coats. This is why, accessories are the easy way to wear new season already.
From Acne Studio’s python print Western boots , to the Topshop cow print mini bag that’ll update any outfit. These are the 9 best animal print accessories that’ll update your summer wares.
Scroll down to see shoes, boots, bags and headbands from just £9.99. Go wild and mix and match, if you dare!
