Animal prints continue to hold their place in fashion and will be a big 2011 trend as well. But, in my opinion, animal prints aren't always wearable. They can come off as being a little too much—sometimes on the verge of dated and cheesy. As with most prints, the key is to keep it simple. Stick to one print. Like in the wild, a zebra and cheetah do not mix well. So, if you love the look and want to get on the bandwagon/safari jeep, here are a few ways to tame the beast and keep it youthful while still wearing one of 2011's biggest trends.
