Stylish Steals: Slither into some snakeskin prints this weekend

If you’ve been hitting the shops to assemble your summer looks, you may have noticed a dominating print in the mix: snakeskin. We know leopard print has been getting most of the trend airtime in 2019, but snakeskin, one of the most versatile prints of the season, deserves some love. Even though snakes tend to be dangerous or docile, with little in-between, snakeskin is a subtler print and easy trend to try.

Animal-inspired fashion is certainly having a moment, maybe due to the much-anticipated release of the live-action Lion King movie, which is already having an influence on makeup looks for the season—or it could just be that our leopard and zebra and snake prints hold a nostalgic place in our hearts. The beauty of this pattern is that it works as a neutral and can slither (had to) right into your wardrobe. Depending on your style, you might embrace it in a head-to-toe look, or go for more subtle accessories to complement your usual summer uniform.

Below, eight snakeskin pieces you can buy without leaving an anaconda-sized hole in your wallet.
