Slithering Styles

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emory chapter.

If you’re a fan of animal print styles and a fashionista who loves her neutral palette: come slither this way. It’s time to take a walk on a different side of the urban jungle.

Collegiettes, whisper hello to snake print!

There are so many reasons to crawl head over heels for snake inspired trends. Snake prints evoke a sultry and sophisticated aura. They are a fresh departure from the popularity of patterns from the cat family. It’s so simple to incorporate a hint of snake into your wardrobe; most snake print pieces don’t venture too far from the earthy color tones of grey, brown, and black. Even better, with great ease, you can twist the trend from day-to-night.

I’d recommend wrapping yourself in no more than one snake print piece per outfit. With any more scales than that you may come across as a Steve Irwin groupie.

Jessica lives her life at several speeds. She talks too fast, eats too slow and over-analyzes too much.  When she’s not telling long-winded stories, sitting alone at the dinner table, or staring off into space, Jessica loves all things creative. Screenwriter, play director and poet at age 9, songwriter and choreographer at age 16, now, at 23, all she really wants to do is write, help others, and post Instagrams.  As a social media coordinator for multiple fashion brands, and a post-grad writer for Her Campus, she gets to do just that. Jessica is a Midwestern girl from the suburbs of Chicago, but she fell in love with city living during a summer internship in the Big Apple, and now calls NYC home. Jessica loves chocolate milkshakes, dance parties, Chippewa Ranch Camp, Friends re-runs, Chuck Bass and of course, spending time with her fans (read: family and friends).
