t.r.e.n.d: Tribal tights

New York fashion week has kicked off to a good start and it is time to go trendspotting. After browsing the newest collections online, I realised this fall is starting to be heavy on prints, taking roots from the savannah in Africa, with many looks camouflaged with the leopard tights.

The Betsey Johnson girl has added animal-print tights to her hoodie and prom frock ensemble. DvF has hopped on the full-fledged safari trend with an army green parka, animal-print top and cheetah spotted legwear. The models look like they catwalked straight out of the safari. Miss Sixty stayed true to her rockability vibe, with muted blue tights paired with knee-length boots. This outfit is sure to look chic on the streets this fall.
I am looking forward to see more animal-printed tights...it is amazing how such a simple legwear can come in a myriad of creative patterns.
