It's All About...Tribal-Print Skirts

We had a veritable freak-out when we saw the insanely gorgeous tribal prints at Thakoon's fall show. How thrilled were we then to see tribal prints popping up on the sartorially savvy this spring, like DJ/It Girl Harley Viera-Newton in this Herve Leger number. With the temperatures heating up, it's all about a short skirt to show off those gams, and a tribal print is a perfectly modern take on a classic look. For those of you wary of loud prints, never fear, pair it with understated items to keep your look from being too cray-cray.

Styling Tips:

-Pair it with a white tank top and flat sandals for an easy day out this summer--don't worry about being too basic, the skirt steals the show.

-Throw a black blazer and some heels on and you're ready for a night out.

-Take this look into winter--steal a slouchy gray sweater from your man's closet, throw on tights and a shoe boot and you're good to go.
