Here’s how to incorporate your wilder side into your wardrobe this spring

Prints can be daunting in menswear, especially if you’re not the showy, ostentatious type.

But animal print is just one of those style moves that seems to constantly resurface in a variety of ways; it’s high time you try it out for yourself. Don’t be intimidated—all you need is a printed sneaker or a shirt you can layer to incorporate it.

Here are some of the best ways to pull it off:

TOPMAN

Tiger Print Collar Shirt
Camp collar shirts are still going strong as one of the best options for spring. This one looks cool on its own or layered with a black denim jacket.

VANS

Era
Printed Vans Eras are classics. Wear them with all black, or black and white.

ZARA

Animal Jacquard Sweatshirt
This Zara sweater has a solid navy grounding, which makes it feel a little less busy than an all-over print. Wear it with navy pants.

CONVERSE

Chuck 70
When in doubt of how to pull off a new print or colour, a sneaker is an easy way to do it. Especially one in a shape as familiar as a Chuck 70.

ALLSAINTS

Apex Leopard Print Shirt
Allsaints does a printed shirt well. This is an easy way to style it, too—leave it open over a plain tee to break up the print.

DR. MARTENS

1461 Zebra Shoe
For when you can’t wear a sneaker, but still need something fun.

THE KOOPLES

Tiger Print Camp Shirt
Swap out your normal dress shirt for this and you’ve got yourself an entirely new look.

DSQUARED2

Bowling Shirt
If you’re not one for something showy, a subtle stripe is just enough animalistic detailing.

SAINT LAURENT

Camp Collar Shirt
Animal print goes beyond just tigers and leopards. Marine life counts, too.
