Wearing snake prints to celebrate the Year of the Snake in style? How apt is that, right? For those who are excited to don a snake-themed wardrobe this Chinese New Year, this one’s for you. Ophidiophobes beware, this post may be detrimental for your mental health.
The snake year according to the Chinese Lunar calendar begins on the 10th of February this year. For those with mysterious serpentine-y spirits, wearing snake prints should be easy enough. It’d be like an extension of your self, only that you’re no cobra.
The thing with snake prints that just don’t quite jive in with me is that they can appear outright disturbing, especially the ones that completely emulate the scales of a real python.
No one wants to be caught screaming at the sight of a faux snake skin clutch carried by a trendy friend and then have to apologize profusely for mistaking an expensive style item as a cold-blooded slithering creature out to get you. But, hey that’s me.
For those looking for a subtle way to incorporate snake prints without looking too full-on King Cobra and get banned from entering your grandparents’ home on the auspicious Chinese New Year, please have scroll down below to quickly grab some style points by these sssssstylish lookbookers.
