What's the Scoop on Fall Animal Prints? | yohana

Katie Holmes
Leopard seems to have a slight edge over tiger and zebra, fashion watchers say. Still, as East Coast-based Urban Darling stylist Eileen Nelson tells me, "All three animal prints are fall '10 statement makers!
The Cadillac of leopard-print statement pieces this autumn? The leopard-print coat. Sonia Rykiel has this trend all wrapped up with a coat to end all coats over at Net-A-Porter—faux, of course—though if you're strapped for cash, you can always head over to QVC.com and get a leopard-print trench for under $70. Look to Katie Holmes for how to style it.
"The tiger print slithers into second place with the amazing DVF tiger-print purse bag," Nelson tells me. "The tiger print is infused with rich warm tones to complement camel, green, red and burgundy, the must-have colors for fall '10." At $1,000, that DVF bag may suddenly look a little less than "amazing," which is why you may want to consider this Kooba bag as an alternative.
As for zebra, a great place to rock that print is on a new pair of cool-weather shoes. And why not blend the trend with the "must-have" fall 2010 shoe, the clog?
"Pair the fabulous Sam Edelman 'Faye' clog with your favorite skinny cargo pants for a chic, relaxed daytime look," Nelson suggests.
