Notice the trend? It seems the animal print is everywhere. It’s on dresses, bags, and  well, scarves aren’t missing out on it too.

The good thing about these animal printed scarves is that it will never go out of style. You can store it in your closet until you’re 99 and it will still look fashionable. It’s extra hot at the moment, but if you think about it, animal printed scarves have existed since time immemorial.

An animal printed scarf not only adds color and personality to a plain outfit, but the oomph factor that you get from wearing one is far greater than what you’ll get from paisleys, abstracts, or florals. The pythons, leopards and zebras are bold, strong, and fierce prints that give any look a strong and sexy kick.

If you don’t have an animal printed scarf yet, or perhaps you just want a fresh one, try these TOLANI creations from Chickdowntown.com:

One of Alexander McQueen’s many unique creations was the Skull Printed Scarf. Putting skulls on an accessory that portrays elegance was unheard of until Lee McQueen did it. And true enough, people and celebrities alike went crazy over this accessory once it hit the shelves. Among the celebrities spotted sporting this neck piece were Keira Knightley, Ashley Olsen, and Nicki Hilton:
