Trend Watch: Giraffe
A new trend-to-watch is Giraffe! I have been noticing all sorts of different giraffe-themed fashion in all departments and styles; children’s-wear, women’s-wear, shorts, graphic tees, bags, shoes, jewelry. I love this emerging trend because it’s different from what we’re used to- we’ve exhausted the leopard print! It just opens up a whole new bag of options.
In the above set, I featured a pair of khaki TOPSHOP giraffe printed shorts. I love this because not only is giraffe print #trending, but actual giraffe images are too! It certainly makes for a unique look and it has a slight exotic vibe to it. I also like the fact that they are khaki safari-style shorts. Since Africa is home to the Giraffes, it adds some authenticity to the look. I paired these shorts with a white Armani Jeans ruffle blouse and a tan Christian Dior short-sleeved belted blazer.
I accessorized with all giraffe print products- a Stuart Weitzman handbag, pointed-toe bow flats, and gold-toned bangle bracelet. I also used a blue rock-crystal multi-chain necklace, which helps add to the “African” inspiration behind this look.
Do you like giraffe prints? How would you style it?
