What is it about snakeskin that keeps it perpetually en vogue? For one, it adds a little oomph to your otherwise ordinary business casual ensemble.
Snakeskin pieces so often offer the perfect amount of pizazz—just enough for your coworker to upgrade her compliment from “you like nice” to “I love your outfit!”
Wearing any type of animal print—snakeskins included—alludes to your wild, adventurous side. And wearing them as accessories achieves that perfect balance that’ll command the right kind of attention! Take the Thakoon dress: probably a little too bold for the office, but the same pattern on a pair of pumps or killer cuff fits the bill perfectly.

To pull this look off at work, we say, stick to the details. Meredith, despite her phobia of those slithery creatures, makes her snakeskin accessories office-appropriate by incorporating them into an almost monochrome color palette.
With the cream and gold of her skirt and tank, the snakeskin belt and shoes blend effortlessly into the look, providing another subtle element of pattern and interest. Sticking to one color palette could have risked looking a little drab, but Meredith’s snakeskin accessories here make it chic!
As Elie Tahari shows off on the runway, painted snakeskin is another fun way to add a pop of pattern and color to any outfit.
With her yellow snakeskin wallet, Meredith is all ready to head out for some happy hour cocktails.
We may not be interested in crossing paths with snakes in our daily lives, but we absolutely support sporting their patterns in our daily sartorial lives!
