Shocking Fashion

Any fashion fan knows it’s one industry where people love to shock, and the upcoming season will certainly do that. One of the biggest looks to grace the runways was reptile-print jackets, sure to split fashionistas right down the middle.

Chloé showed models in a daytime version of the trend, pairing a brown reptile-print jacket with voluminous trousers and equally roomy bags. Fendi went for a slightly edgier take on the look, colouring their fabric a bright turquoise and giving it a fur trim. Gucci showed yellow versions while Marc Jacobs have skin-tight black jackets with massive fur sleeves.

The issue of animal hides in clothing is always going to be a contentious one, but there’s actually no need to opt for the real thing. This look is set to be so big that come Autumn/Winter there will be no shortage of fake versions on the high street.

It’s not a trend for everyone, and it’s vital to get the rest of your outfit right. Go too overboard and you run the risk of looking too showy, while too understated and the look really won’t work. This isn’t a piece which can be paired with boyfriend jeans and slouchy boots, you have to make a bit of effort.

Try wearing one with a pair of tight jeans or leggings tucked into high-heeled boots, with a slouchy hat topping off the look. For an evening out a coloured variety would certainly make you stand out from the crowd – team with a simple black dress for a stunning yet edgy look./Cover Media – Fri, Jul 29, 2011/Yahoo
