Remember the feather extension insanity? Now you’ve got another derivative of that feather trend to flock towards and it comes in the form of feather prints!
Feathers have been in long before we started to call the pursuits of vanity ‘fashion’.
The Neanderthals used real animal feathers for the purpose of ornamentation alone by way of selective manual plucking of feathers of 22 bird species that were not considered good food sources.
Headdresses of the native American were early instances of how feathers were used as decoration.
Just a few years back, we saw feather hair extensions took the trend hungry world by surprise. Suddenly all the kids were wearing feathers in their hair like it was the coolest thing to do.
Nevertheless, feathers have always held that dreamy appeal in the fashion world. Something about them just speak to our whimsical bohemian side.
This time, instead of real/faux feathers, we’re seeing feather prints taking the spotlight. Want to know how to wear them feather prints without turning into a real bird? Check out the roundup of feather printed looks below for quick inspiration.
