MOZZA

Mozza Animal
Keys to making this trend work for you!

  • Don't wear this print all over, busy prints often add volume & can camouflage your waist- making you look up to 2 sizes bigger.... so pick top half or bottom
  • Keep your print piece sleek- tailoring and cuts that hug your curves will show off your body best
  • Don't be afraid to add color to your other half! Color will boldly contrast against the print & give your waist definition and your look a fashion forward look!

CHALA

Chala Animal
Keys to making this trend work for you!

  • Add Color! By adding a bold top or pant with a print, you give your top half & lower half separation and give yourself a smaller looking waist
  • Try a print that has built in curves by using color blocking- a snaking S pattern, diamond or V shapes pull in & push out in the right areas
  • Use prints on the half of your body you want to play up! Mix a sheer top with a printed button line with a bold contrasting printed pant...you can mix prints! The bottoms give your lower half curves while the print on the button line draws in your torso for the effect of a tiny waist!

TAWNIE

Tawnie Animal
Keys to making this trend work for you!

  • Keep your prints to scale! You are small proportioned, keep prints smaller than your fist...anything bigger will look like that cat ate you!
  • GO bold! You can pull off metallic leggings with your body so why not wear them? Pair them with a printed top that defines your waist!
  • Use tailored cut jackets and tops along with clingier knits to really give you some curves- defined body shape = instant va va voom!

JOZIE

Jozie Animal
Keys to making this trend work for you!

  • Aim high! Try to keep your prints focused on the upper half of your body unless they are darker in color and form fitting. Prints add volume so add it where you need it!
  • Stick with light knits and cotton blends when choosing a print piece, heavier knits and fabrics will add bulk...top your top with a thin to mid size belt if needed to keep your tiny waist on display!
  • When picking bottoms for your print go as sleek & straight as you can.  You don't have to pick skinny jeans, a great straight or boot cut jean that has give in the bottom & thighs are great pairing options!

SUZA

Animal Suza

Keys to making this trend work for you!

  • Camouflage- prints, especially animal prints are great at hiding problem areas as folds or layers blend together unlike solids. Choose a top that slightly flares at the hem but has an empire cut....this will look stunning on your body.
  • Keep your tops fitted & well cut through the arms & shoulders (unless the arms are supposed to flare) and show off your lean limbs!
  • If you choose a print for your top be sure to dress your lower with something sleek such as skinnies or leggings that will show off your fabulous legs!

LOLA

Lola Animal
Keys to making this trend work for you!

  • Go south! Try to focus your prints on your lower half, they add volume and will balance out your body- you can wear large exaggerated prints on your lower half for a super boost of ohhh la la!
  • If you pick a printed top, make sure it is sleek and has more weight at the bottom with either a flare or low riding belt, this will give you the right balance.
  • Pair your prints with a sleek counter part such as skinny jeans or a well fitted, knit top for a sexy look.
