Everyone always wants to know what the hottest trend of the year is going to be. Well I think it’s safe to say that safari prints have become the single largest trend of 2006. Celebrities are wearing safari print from head to toe. What used to be the type of clothing you would only wear on Halloween has become a significant part of everyday wardrobes.

4 Ways to Incorporate Safari Prints into your Wardrobe

1. Head Gear – There are a number of head bands, hair bands and bandanas with safari prints. Head gear is a great way to add a little safari fun into your wardrobe without overdoing it. A subtle hit of style can make a huge difference in your image.

2. Tops – There are a number of ways to incorporate safari prints into your tops. First, you could use a safari print tank or tee under a solid colored camisole. This is generally the best idea because too much of this print can look tacky. Other ways are wearing a safari tank overtop of a solid print tank. This will also maintain the balance of solid patterns to safari prints.

3. Bottoms – Safari bottoms are available in the form of pants, capris and skirts. Safari print pants, although chosen by some, are a little over-the-top. You want to incorporate the print into your wardrobe, not camouflage yourself into the jungle. A printed skirt you could get away with, although I would suggest pairing it with a solid print top.

4. Shoes – Shoes are by far the best way to incorporate the safari print into your wardrobe. Shoes add just enough print to make your outfit look trendy without making it look like you’re trying too hard to fit in.

The Key to Wearing Safari Prints is…

The key to wearing safari prints successfully is balance. You never want to pair two pieces of safari print clothing together – you just don’t. You’ll look tacky and overdone and nobody wants to look like that!
