Animal Prints Don't Have to Go into Hibernation Once Temperatures Begin Their Ascent

Considered neutrals by a majority of the industry, animal prints have a shelf life. At least that's what most people think. In reality, you can rock everything from leopard to zebra to snake to tiger and even cow 365 days a year. The key is to hunt for pieces with the prints that won't look out of place in spring or summer. Think the selection is rather limited? Well, you're wrong. There's actually a large amount of must-haves featuring warm-weather animal prints currently on the market.

You can pretty much rock them from head to toe. Choose from dresses, even a maxi style, tops, pants, skirts and shorts. We also included footwear and accessories. (Celine's fierce sunglasses are a definite add to cart.) Several of our favorites boast matching items so feel free to pick up the entire ensemble. Don't be afraid to mix and match and even sport different animals in one outfit.

Keep scrolling to find the best staples showcasing warm-weather animal prints to introduce into your wardrobe.
