Outfits with bright pops of color are all the rage right now, and animal prints are a tried and true classic. So, it makes perfect fashion sense to pair both of these looks together. Solange Knowles did just that and looks oh so hot! Don’t just sit there coveting this look, here’s how to rock it:
Coat: We have to start with the most important piece - the coat. I think every woman should have one animal print coat in her closet. This Dennis Basso version is faux fur and for $150 on clearance, is a steal! You will be wearing this coat forever.
FYI I noticed a very similar coat at Forever 21 a few months ago for even cheaper. Be sure to check your local F21 first!
Yellow Shift Dress: The color yellow looks great on brunettes and really pops with the animal print. The shade Solange picked is lemony and so on trend. If you’re petite, ASOS has a great option for $54:
If you can rock any size and want to be a tad daring (Solange would approve, I’m sure) check out this sweet shift dress with cutout sides for only $20! I repeat, $20!
Clutch: ASOS does it again with this cute, pink clutch for only $32:
Shoes: For $49.90 I’m wondering why I don’t have these Zara shoes, which remind me so much of Solange’s Derek Lam wedges (that retail for $850).
Making this look all the more easy to pull off is the fact that it requires minimal jewelry. Even Solange’s makeup is perfectly simple. Add some pink to your pout, sport a few rings, and let your fierce colors and prints do the talking.
