When is animal print not cool? Pretty much never.
It’s the eternal, ever-evolving trend that most gals love. For some reason, it’s a print that women from all walks of life admire. Whether you are Gwen Stefani and in the punk rock world or a conservative diva, animal print seems to appeal to all.
Today’s features are going to be focusing on the more sophisticated side of animal print with a splash of fun. But then again, when is animal print not fun?
Starting off with boots seemed to be a good approach to the season. Therefore, my first feature is a Dolce Vita boot that will be a great accent piece to complete a dark legging or that fall dress. The red outline and heel, and the tiger print detail give this boot ultimate sass without looking too funky.

Pencil skirts are always a great way to look classy, but can sometimes be uncomfortable. Try a tube option from Topshop. This knee-length skirt can be done up to perfection with black pointy patent leather shoes and solidified with a black tuxedo jacket.
Then, if you feel a little punky on the weekends, wear it over leggings with chunky boots and an eccentric solid colored top. Whatever way you choose to go, one thing is for sure - you will be comfortable.

Okay, so maybe my next choice isn’t “sophisticated,” but I couldn’t avoid featuring it. The leopard skinny jeans are likely too loud for work, but can definitely be toned down if needed.
I love the zipper accents on the pant leg. It's got that hipster flair that’s seen less frequently. Gwen Stefani would rock out in this skinny pant. Wear with architectural shoes or boots with personality to keep up with this hot pant.

I was searching for a specific item for a friend on Tory Burch’s site when I came across a glamorous find for this article. The ‘Denise’ dress is so luxurious. The main golden accent is a wonderful contrast to this elegant work-worthy dress. The pleated hem and the longer sleeves give it a fresh, fall look.
