Animal print....will it be around in autumn/winter?

I am really loving all the animal prints around at the moment. Shoes, blouses and scarves look fabulous. However I now find I am looking at animal print jeans? So looking for opinions on whether it will still be "in" this autumn/winter?

Weird q. It's been in since the 1949s

But generally I haven't seen trousers and jeans that are so full on animal print until recently- and am hankering after something like this(if I can find it in the sales)

But just wonder if some like that and the floral jeans etc will be around later this year. And there is also a little voice screaming BET LYNCH in my head.....Shirts and shoes etc seem much safer and are always in fashion- but I have them already. Thoughts?

I think they might last into this autumn but whilst I agree shoes etc will always be around I would be cautious about the jeans. There are 100s of cheaper high street versions and if I were you I would just get a Zara pair and only buy j brands in a more classic style. I think they look fab on the very slim, less good on the chunkier of leg if that's any help!

The M&S look nowhere as nice.

I think snake print is set to be the print but leopard doesn't appear to be going anywhere.

River Island have some lovely leopard jeans in muted grey/blush colours. If you want brighter leopard print I can heartily recommend the Zara leopard printed trousers. They're brilliant and £29.99 iirc. I've bought a second pair as I'm pg and know I'll want to wear them after baby is born too.

Just saw this thread - know it's a bit late. Not sure about leopard print jeans but DD just had a party with a leopard theme - went down very well!!

H&M had some animal print jeans in the sale for £10 yesterday. Grey base colour with leopard (ish!) spots. May be good way of getting a pair without investing too heavily, then buy a more 'classic' colour of J Brands that you'll wear for ages.

I love all animal print snake, leopard etc.. but as accessories only - - not overpowering then and a little animal adds a lot to plain dresses, jeans, trousers etc. without making a huge statement -- less is more IMO . . . .Wink
