I'm seeing a lot of animal prints these days... Not so much on the streets, but in mags. I think it takes guts to wear them well, and some forethought. Here are some rules incase you want to head for the jungle. And I suggest you do!

Pick one thing, and only one thing, to wear at a time in animal print. Wearing more than one animal print can look like a safari gone terribly wrong.
Do not wear colored animal prints. If you can't find it in nature, you shouldn't find it in your closet!
Go easy on accessories. Choose bigger pieces that overpower the print, essentially putting a larger accessory on top of a smaller print, or vise-versa. You don't want both the print and the accessory to be the same scale.
Some things just don't work in animal print: pants, leggings, most knits, sheets!
Choose good fabrics, silks, leather–I like faux pony skin jackets, especially in Utah.
Be careful of the "Married to the Mob" look. Simple is always better. Wear your print without chewing gum or big hair...
