Even in the most conservative of cuts, there's no denying the boldness of an animal print. Take a basic soft t-shirt for example: embellish it with a cheetah print, and it's instantly transformed into a lively layer that can anchor an outfit. Like the rest of us, Banana Republic obviously loves a good animal print too. Which is why the head-to-toe offerings are much-needed additions to any wardrobe.
One thing about leopard-, cheetah-, zebra-, or any other wildlife-inspired fabric is that it's timeless. These patterns never really go out of style. Sure the silhouettes evolve, but the prints themselves work no matter what the season. And in many ways, these classics work as neutrals against other complementary prints or solids. Even if you tend to opt for simplicity, browse these picks from Banana Republic and consider getting a little wild with your clothing choices.
