Animal prints abound on the runways, and fashion has officially decided that animal prints are not a fashion risk, but a versatile neutral.

For fall, take inspiration from the runway (Michael Kors, Celine, Etro, etc.) and surprise with a cool animal print coat or jacket.

Smart tailored silhouettes will be the MVP of your wardrobe for the colder months ahead. Infuse personality into the understated silhouette with button detailing, strategically placed pockets, and wide lapels.
