Animal Prints Are Officially Taking Over My Fall Wardrobe—35 Items Currently in My Cart

I recently found myself doing one of my favorite things: flipping through old photos. There’s something so comforting about revisiting those little snapshots of life: the people I was with, the places I’d been, and, of course, what we were all wearing. The way my brain is wired, I can’t help but notice the outfits right alongside the memories.

Looking back, I can see how my style has evolved over the years. Some pieces still feel timeless; others are clearly from another era. But one detail popped up again and again: animal print. Of course, my love of animal prints has come a long way since the days of playing dress-up at Club Libby Lu in my cheetah boa (such fond memories). I now gravitate toward more refined takes, focusing on shape, color, and texture. It’s safe to say that animal print has always held a special place in both my heart and my closet.

This fall, it’s everywhere again, and there really is something for everyone—whether you want a bold leopard coat, a chic snakeskin boot, or a subtle cow-print bag. I’ve rounded up 35 pieces I’m genuinely excited to wear, and I know you’ll find a favorite too.
