When it comes to high fashion and the runways, well known designers and major fashion houses have always taken a whole lot of inspiration from the natural world. This isn’t all too surprising. After all, nature has provided us with examples of some of the most aesthetically pleasing prints, colours and textures that could possibly spring to mind! So, why not follow suit and incorporate a little flora and fauna into your own wardrobe? Here are just a few different ways to go about this!
Remember to Go Cruelty Free
There are still, sadly, many brands that take fashion directly from nature, rather than using the natural world as a source of inspiration. Animals shouldn’t have to suffer for our wardrobe, so make sure that any nature inspired pieces that you buy are cruelty free! There are alternative options to fur, leather, feathers, wool, and silk out there, so make the most of them!
Floral Prints
Many people associate floral prints with the spring and summer seasons. But there’s no reason why you shouldn’t work this look year round! You can shop floral dresses at any time of the year and these type of prints always tend to be a hit. They add a touch of femininity to any ensemble and florals are a great way to work colour into an otherwise plain outfit – whether this is subtle or bold.
Animal Prints
There are so many different animal print pieces out there. Tiger, zebra, and leopard print tend to be firm favourites, but there are more options out there – consider giraffe print, peacock print, or even cow print. Now, animal prints tend to be relatively bold, so try to pair them up with more plain and patternless pieces – if you are wearing a animal print top, try pairing it with plain bottoms and a plain coat.
Faux Fur
Winter is fast approaching and chances are that you’re starting to look out for cosier essentials that will keep you toasty and warm as the temperature begins to drop. Faux fur is a great way to keep the heat in and to avoid being left shivering. Make sure to buy faux fur. Faux looks and feels a lot like real fur, but keeps your conscience clean! What’s more? It is also cheaper than real fur, so it’s a win-win situation! If your faux fur coat is going to be your main winter coat, consider opting for neutral shades that will match more outfits, such as black, brown, or cream. If you’re looking for a statement piece, you can browse a few brighter colours.
These are just a few different ways that you can incorporate a touch of nature into your wardrobe in a fair and friendly way. Get started as soon as possible to make a real statement with your latest looks!
