Showing the power of embracing your wild side, animal prints are gracing the runways yet again.

Animal print continues its reign of&nbsp;the fashion jungle this fall,&nbsp;and from the looks that dominated&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/categories/fashion-week">runway</a> resort shows, it seems certain to continue trending for some time to come.

The nature-inspired look&nbsp;has made its way into fashion as far back as the 18th <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/loewe-spring-2020">century</a>. At its start, it became popular because of its potential for&nbsp;giving those&nbsp;who wear&nbsp;it a sense of power and an elevated status of wealth&nbsp;and luxury.&nbsp;It saw a rise in popularity in the US during the turbulent 1960s and garnered larger prominence&nbsp;in &#39;70s and &#39;80s fashion as it took over&nbsp;dresses, leggings, and various accessories amidst a growing preference for a bolder style.

Animal&nbsp;prints have been on trend for quite a while now, and after scouring the runways of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gucci-fall-2019">Gucci</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/saint-laurent-spring-2020">Saint Laurent</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/paco-rabanne-fragrances-2019">Paco Rabanne</a>, and many more,&nbsp;it&#39;s clear that Fall 2019&#39;s most popular animal prints are zebra stripes, snakeskin, tiger stripes, and leopard spots. But while all of the above may spark memories of familiar styling from decades past or even last year, designers have created new ways to wear the prints that will have them feeling as fresh (and wild) as ever. See some of the most fun ways to spice up your animal look below.

&nbsp;

1. Layering

First,&nbsp;a popular styling method for this season&#39;s animal prints is&nbsp;to simply layer them&nbsp;on top of each other. Don&#39;t be afraid to mix your favorite animal prints together: for instance, you could match snakeskin boots with a leopard print top, and the right combination will have you looking chic instead of clashy.&nbsp;Paco Rabanne and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/j-lo-grammys-dress-versace-runway-2019">Versace</a> both employed this technique to form unique, stylish combinations perfect for a cold day or a party, viewable in the photos above.

Another way to rock the&nbsp;trend is to take note from the animals who inspired it and simply wear it all over. After all, if each piece creates a powerful feeling and&nbsp;aura&nbsp;of fierce authority, this effect can only get stronger if the look is&nbsp;all&nbsp;you have on.&nbsp;In such a case, rocking it as a statement piece from head-to-toe is a pretty wild idea.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

3. Colorful Reimagination

Ever since &#39;80s and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/maison-kitsune-yuni-ahn-2019">&#39;90s</a> inspiration made its way back into fashion&#39;s heart, bold colors have been an endless trend on runways everywhere. To this end, brands&nbsp;have also switched up the usual natural animal print colors&nbsp;(e.g. the classic black and white for zebra prints), presenting&nbsp;an&nbsp;array of these prints in bold and striking colors from deep pinks&nbsp;to bright yellows,&nbsp;greens to&nbsp;blues, and so on. This kills two birds with one stone&nbsp;if you want to add a pop of color to your outfit while simultaneously&nbsp;rocking a bold animal print.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

4. Tortoiseshell&nbsp;Accessories&nbsp;

With several ways to style the core of your outfit above, the next step is to top off your exotic looks with some animal print accessories. After a&nbsp;sharp and increasing&nbsp;surge of Pinterest searches this year, the accessories print of the moment&nbsp;is undoubtedly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/tortoise-print-trend-2019">tortoiseshell</a>.&nbsp;While it&#39;s commonly present in the jewelry sphere&nbsp;in the form of earrings, pendants, and bracelets, it also makes for a popular design for bags and sunglasses. Check out the unique arc-shaped bag with a tortoiseshell print from Cult Gaia, which has more than likely been present in some of the summery Instagram photos you&#39;ve liked,&nbsp;above.&nbsp;&nbsp;
