3. Animal prints from NY street

One of the many things I love about the city is that I never get bored by just looking at what people are wearing on the streets. Nothing can remind me of the fact that I live in NYC, the center of the world when I see someone who dresses gorgeous walking in a coffee shop or who is wearing neatly well fitted suit trying to catch a cab on the streets.

Each individual's beautiful and unique style is what makes this city more fascinating.





Animal prints especially, Leopard print is almost like steady classic item nowdays. A friend of mine scolded me once because I wanted to buy a pair of Leopard printed glasses in Germany couple years ago. He was like, "Don't even attempt to try them on. It's so out of fashion!!" Oh well, I think Leopard print is never out of fashion. It is classic now.

In fact, animal print was a symbol of power or wealth throughout history, for example, kings and high class people used animal prints rug and some other home products to show their power. We no longer use animal prints as the symbol of wealth, in fact, there are many widespread inexpensive animal prints items everywhere and I see a lot of people on the streets are wearing them.

More than one animal print item can be quite frightening but it can be a really fun point item when you feel like your outfit today is so boring.

Leopard scarf is probably the most widespread animal print item. It goes well with pretty much any kind of outfit especially, you can never go wrong with leopard scarf with a black leather jacket in fall!
