If you look at publications about fashion trends of past seasons, you will definitely find a lot of materials dedicated to popular animal prints. The fall-winter 2015-2016 season was no exception, animal prints still adorn clothes and accessories, which we will talk about today.

In the new collections, there are a lot of shoes, bags and other accessories in the animal style. The most popular are two main prints, snakeskin, which has always been famous for its richness of colors, and leopard.

Regarding snake print, it is not always just a print or an imitation. In fashion collections fall-winter 2015-2016 a lot of jackets, skirts, dresses, and of course bags and shoes made of natural snake skin. In many countries, there are an abundance of snakes, and somewhere special farms are being created, where reptiles are safely bred and raised. Therefore, products made of snake skin do not threaten the extinction of some rare species. You are not afraid of the disappearance of chickens and sheep, are you?

Snake print even in nature, it boasts a variety of colors, and modern dyes allow you to dye products in the most incredible color schemes. Cat prints are another matter - in nature, a leopard and a tiger are easily recognizable, you will never meet a blue or pink leopard, therefore, in the fashion world, the leopard was originally also as close as possible to its natural color, but then the designers decorated the leopards in different colors.

Today there are grays, blues, reds and other shades of leopard. All products are imitations and have long had nothing to do with the skin of a beautiful cat. Therefore, you can buy leopard accessories without fear of harming nature, the main thing is to be able to wear them correctly and not pay attention to the ridicule of the crowd.

Fashion develops in a certain way - first, a certain celebrity, fashion brand or style icon, takes the liberty of creating new images, inventing something new that did not exist before. Then courageous women of fashion pick up the baton. Further, more and more people accept the fashion trend and over time it is vulgarized. Manufacturers produce cheap low-quality products and very soon it is unpleasant for women of fashion to wear something that once aroused delight and was an object of desire.

Leopard print in recent years, whoever has worn - both stars of the first magnitude, and grandmothers from the collective farm market, so the leopard to some extent could be vulgarized, but on the other hand, the leopard print is the beauty of nature itself, and if you know how to wear it, at any time make a good impression.

Tiger and zebra in the fall-winter 2015-2016 season, they are much less common and are often painted in a traditional color. This is not surprising, these prints retain their animal identity only in natural color, if they are painted in other colors, such as red zebra, purple tiger, connection with nature can be lost and the print will cease to be animal, but become just a print.

If you are used to buying things very thoughtfully and want to wear them for many years, buy snake and leopard prints, or better bags, shoes and belts made of genuine snake skin. Quality snakeskin accessories never go out of style.
