What to Wear Instead: Python Prints
"Python print is the new leopard," says Adam, who swears that you can find faux that looks just as exotic as the real thing. Colored snakeskin makes the pattern stand out, but neutral versions (like brown and gray) add texture to any outfit in a more subtle way. Just remember his number one rule for pulling off this trend: Never mix animal prints—say, a zebra-striped blouse with a snakeskin belt—or you risk looking like a passenger on Noah's ark.
