animal print clothing: let’s get wild

August 13, 2019

Do you have a wild side? Let’s be real…we all do! Embracing this every now and then is a way to step out of your comfort zone, have a little fun, and add some spice into your life. Maybe it means stepping onto the dance floor, hiring a babysitter so you can enjoy a girls’ night out, booking that last minute flight to a tropical island, or stealing a little bit of your daughter’s glittery eyeshadow. That is the side of you we want to get to know better this fall.

 Here at cabi, we’re letting our wild side roam free by wearing fierce animal print clothing this season. It’s all about skin prints on the runway this fall: cheetah, zebra, and snakeskin…we love them all! Today, we’re featuring five of our Fall 2019 Collection blouses that fit right into the Animal Instinct trend: the Crossover Cami, Prowl Top, Zebra Top, Serpentine Blouse, and Snake Charmer Blouse. We’ve paired each top with a carefully selected outfit for some styling inspiration. Take a look below, and unleash your wild side with these delectable skin prints. Why be tame when you can be wild?

The Crossover Cami features a wrap design with exciting pattern mixing. It hits at the high hip with a flirtatious peplum design. Pair it with a black bomber jacket and some funky jeans. Cuff your jeans at the ankle so you can show off these polka dot kitten heels that tie back to the top.

Featured Items: Crossover Cami, Chance Bomber, Tuxedo High Straight, ID Trio Necklace, Kitten Heels

The Prowl Top is done in a warm sunset color and features a leopard print for a unique color palette. With a double V-neckline and easy shape, you’ll reach for this blouse over and over again. We suggest tying a vibrant cardigan at the shoulders and going for a pair of slightly relaxed denim. Combat ankle booties will finish the look off with that extra bit of edge.

Featured Items: Prowl Top, Standout Pullover (Tied over shoulders), Slim Boyfriend, Boots

Bet you could guess the print of our Zebra Top. Take a step away from standard prints, and try this vanilla/chocolate zebra print top—it even has soft flutter sleeves for added interest! Style this top with our ganache-colored Repose Cape for some matching, and finish with a classic pair of skinny jeans and short cowboy boots.

Featured Items: Zebra Top, Repose Cape, Original Wash Skinny, Tudor Necklace, Booties

How about long sleeves? Our Serpentine Blouse features an irresistible snakeskin print and billowy sleeves that taper with a cuff. Go for a more elegant vibe by pairing back to a sleek black trouser and pumps. Throw on an opera-length charm necklace for some extra sparkle.

Lastly, we have our Snake Charmer Blouse, done in an alluring chiffon with a floral-meets-snakeskin mix of prints. It features a button-up design with wide cuffs at the forearms. Go for a darker palette by pairing with a black, faux-leather pencil skirt, tucking the blouse in fully. Run with the Animal Instinct trend by throwing on some cheetah print pumps.
