Fiercely Ladylike Animal-Print Dresses

Consider it the ferocious animal print's innocent twin sister. Ladylike animal prints washed in gentle, pale shades took over the spring runways and offered a fresh take on the usually fierce look. Softer, perhaps, but no less appealing, the ladylike animal print is wildly elegant.

An easy way to wear it is to simply slip on a patterned dress in the lighter shade of your choice. This Jones New York Python Print Dress ($79.99) brings a sweet touch to a typically dramatic look. It's incredible what a little pink can do!


In addition to a sedate hue, a relaxed silhouette also keeps your animal-print dress in a low-key zone. This Tucker Silk Leopard Tunic Dress ($144.74) flows freely and features an easy cut for a simple yet polished look that's perfect for weekend wear.

A chic one-shoulder piece, like The Jungle Look Dress ($49.99), is a necessary addition to any party-ready wardrobe. With its pale cheetah print, it makes the otherwise intimidating beast look downright gentle.

A long, lean dress is so glam Grecian goddess - enough reason alone to invest in this River Island Maxi Dress ($52.82). The vivid animal print is brought down to earth a bit via a palette of warm earth tones, like ivory and chocolate.
