Fall Trend #3- Animal motiffs?

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

I think they're fun. Yes they're a bit child-like, but that's okay!

Also, it depends on the person who is wearing them. If I wore one of the fuzzy puppy ones, it would probably come off as an ironic look.

I could do the owl quietly with no fanfare.

For the most part I don't love this look either, BUT, I'd make an exception if I could find one of these

I kind of like(d) the J Crew French hen sweater, but as a vegan I'd wear it as a "yay, chickens are adorable, don't eat them!" thing. I would find it weird if someone who ate chicken wore a chicken sweater.

Hmmm...ok I'm on the fence. I'm not digging the big centralized singular animal on a solid background (80's childhood revisited?) but I rather enjoy the small print patterns made up of animals that seem to be cropping up on blouses everywhere.

Ditto this. Seems childish. I don't want my fashion to be ironic and I can't pass as a hipster. I do like more subtle prints though.

It's the 2012 version of a reindeer sweater :P

I love owls and would wear one on a sweater. I also love that hen sweater but I don't think I could wear it (I do eat chicken & coincidentally, that is part of the reason I find it weird). F21 has a bunny sweater that is so flipping adorable I almost bought it. Almost. If there were a child version I'd immediately buy it for my daughter.
I don't know, I feel like my judgment is clouded since having a baby girl, as in, I kind of like it when we match. I hope I don't make a lot of fashion faux pas because of this.

On a similar note, I do like the shirts/sweaters that have animal print/silhouettes all over. Jcrew has some, and F21 is doing a version (they call them ditsy ).

I can't do it, I just haven't seen anything I like.
