You will be surprised to know that regular snake print can be perceived as neutral, as it matches most outfits and colour. Even demure ladies can easily pull it off and incorporate the trend into their daily outfits with snakeskin accessories. 

Try mixing neutral tones like black and white with a daring print like snakeskin so that it becomes a standout piece. It will make the accessory act as a neutral that integrates well with other colours.

You can try accessories such as Zara's Snakeskin Print Mini Belt Bag or their Snakeskin Print Leather Slides as a starting point.

If you want to go bolder, stand out by wearing snake print from top to bottom with snake print clothing that you can wear with flair. You do not have to shy away from investing in showy pieces like an oversized snake print shirt or a midi skirt. Flowy, snake print skirts and dresses are also classic and elegant pieces, which can be paired with an oversized sweater for a trendy, yet comfortable look.  

A long snake print dress like SaturdayClub's Snakeskin Printed Belted Midi Dress gives off major bohemian vibes while managing to stay on-trend. Update the look with other western accessories such as a denim jacket and boots to elevate this look. 

3. Opt For Coloured Snake Print

Forget limiting yourself to one colour with snakeskin print! Available in a wide range of hues, the striking and versatile design looks good in many shades from bright reds, white, green, yellow, neons, or even classic brown.

Like Zalora's Faux Snakeskin Pencil Skirt, or this cool Faux Snakeskin Biker Jacket by Zara. Designers stepped out of their comfort zone to show that snakeskin does not have to be restricted to earthy hues.

The trick to pull off animal print is to keep it on the down low. If you choose one item of your snake print clothing, make sure to keep others minimal or neutral-toned. This way your animal print or snake print clothing will standout, which is pretty much the point of jumping into this bandwagon anyway.

Similarly, if you want to go bold, incorporate snake print clothing. If you want to start with basics, get yourself animal print accessories. These could be bags, belts, shoes, jewellery, anything that you fancy.
