Leopard isn’t the only animal print dominating the fashion world this season. Rummaging through my closet revealed the fact that I had far more snakeskin print than I realized. Heading out to shop the trend I was surprised at how many snakeskin items I was able to find at almost every store I went into.
Looks From My Closet:
This first look was initially featured on our blog post titled: Eight Ways to Style Faux Leather Leggings. Click: Here. This snakeskin print Michael Kors top has been in my closet for so long that I don’t even recall how long. The detailing is what attracted me to it – metal studs along the shoulder/arm area. This top is easily styled with jeans, dress pants and here – my favorite new staple item – faux leather leggings along with my silver booties. I’d deem this a kind of edgy, casual look.
The next two tops are bolder snakeskin print tops with brighter pops of color – turquoise and ombre shades of pink. I styled both tops with my faux leather leggings, sock booties and snakeskin print purses.
SHOP THE LEGGINGS:
This next snakeskin print tunic has also been in my closet for a very long time. It’s from Stein Mart and has iridescent sequins at the neckline, hemline and around the wrists. I typically wear it in the spring/summer paired with white pants. True confessions – I style things one way and don’t usually try to think of other ways to style them. Since starting my blog and social media platforms, I’ve been inspired by all my fashionista friends and have begun to expand my styling options and to think differently. Before doing today’s post, I would have never thought to wear this tunic in the winter. Hope you are more creative than I am!
This cardi is so unique both in color and style. Perhaps you don’t like an all over snakeskin print so consider something with some touches of the print. This cardi also has interesting detailing such as the gold and metal. The combination of grey with bronze, gold is unexpected but very interesting. This cardi and top are from Stein Mart many, many years ago. The gray jeans are new from Stein Mart. This is a casual look I’d wear out – on this particular day a doctor’s appointment and shopping!
This next look is styled around the snakeskin print scarf and snakeskin print flats. The infinite scarf has two tones of snakeskin print with a touch of gold. The flats, which I typically don’t wear, have a gold shimmer and gold studs on the heels. This is a more casual and subtle way of incorporating the trendy print. (The scarf and flats are from my closet. The scarf was from Express and the flats were from Target.)
Try Ons:
I had so much fun doing try ons for this post! Mainly I was super surprised to see how much snakeskin print is currently available in the stores! First up is a try on at Macy’s. This Michael Kors top is currently available and also comes in a dress. The built in pattern mix of snakeskin print and stripes adds interest along with the statement sleeve and lace up/gold grommets. This tunic is easily dressed up or down – casual or dressy.

Next, stop was Express. Express has my all time favorite (best fit, length and comfort in my opinion) leggings! They had black snakeskin print leggings. The pictures don’t truly show the pattern so it’s rather subtle. However, I thought you’d still like to see the fit. They come in black and red. I’d pair them with a long sweater or tunic, which can be dressed up or worn casual. This would be a great option if you don’t care for a bold snakeskin print.

H & M had a large selection of snakeskin print items. I felt like I hit the jackpot! Cha Ching! I tried on a tee that would be so easy to style so many ways and a skirt that was way out of my comfort zone. It’s a silky material, which I was sure would be body clinging and surely unflattering on me but for the sake of pushing myself and knowing I could choose not to include it I forged forward. To my surprise I loved everything about the skirt and I styled it two ways in the fitting room. For under $15.00, it’s a winner and came home with me! So glad I stepped out of my box! There will be many ways to style it…think a white sweater and white booties or black top and black booties. It will also transition well into other seasons.

Hi Andrea,
Yes, I was surprised at how many snakeskin items I had in my wardrobe! I guess I like it even more than I realized! Yes, now is a great time to invest in some pieces if you don’t own any; and you can find so many things at such reasonable prices. Can’t wait to see what you get and how you style it!
