I fumbled for the right right answer but didn&#8217;t even know where or how to start. After that embarrassing fashion faux pas, I realized that like most people, I was confusing the two prints or just grouping the print under the default umbrella of &#8220;animal print&#8221; to cover my lack of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Well, the truth is that there&#8217;s a whole lotta animals out there and a whole lotta prints to go with &#8217;em. So I thought it was only right to set the record straight and do the research and spread the knowledge to you so that when <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/90s\/1990s-fashion-thrift\/\">shopping for this season&#8217;s big trend<\/a> [that&#8217;s right &#8230; animal prints!] you can know exactly WHAT it is that you&#8217;re wearing. Or better yet &#8212; so that you can pay just the right compliment to someone rockin&#8217; an awesome vintage giraffe print dress [scroll down to learn how you can buy one from the 60s on Etsy!]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So read on for the 411 on cheetahs, tigers and lions, while also getting the lowdown on cow, zebra, giraffe and dalmatian prints, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Got a <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/self-improvement\/lipstick-affirmations-day-17\/\">&#8220;Everything you wanted to know<\/a> about &#8230;&#8221; question for me?

I would love to help popularize this pattern, not only because it&#8217;s under-the-radar but because it can be worn in a very on-trend Western inspired way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So the deal with the brow and black cow? The pattern is noticeably different than the <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/60s\/mr-dino-dress\/\">black and white<\/a> cow &#8212; if you know what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">While the black and white cow has extra large, irregularly shaped black spots scattered along with smaller black spots on a white foundation, the brown and white cow is colored mostly brown on white. You could even reverse the order and say the brown and white cow is WHITE on brown. The pattern below shows the dominance of color in white, but the awesome vintage brown &amp; white cow pattern bag shows how the brown coloring takes precedence in true B&amp;W cow design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To also note:<\/strong> The brown and white cow is not to be confused with the giraffe brown on tan colors. The B&amp;W cow pattern consists of those quintessential irregular shapes, while the giraffe&#8217;s brown spots are rectangular in shape.

Pairing your animal print outfits with a bold fragrance can take your look to the next level. Think of it as adding a dash of hot sauce to your meal &#8211; it makes everything better. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fragrancex.com\/products\/versace\/versace-eros-cologne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Versace Eros<\/a> is a perfect choice for this type of ensemble. It&#8217;s like the roar of a big cat, all-powerful and seductive. The mix of mint, green apple, and tonka bean in Eros will leave an impression on anyone who crosses your path.<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re feeling like a different type of animal, there are plenty of other bold fragrances to choose from. How about Tom Ford&#8217;s Tobacco Vanille, with its rich blend of tobacco, vanilla, and spices? It&#8217;s like the scent of a luxurious leather jacket. Or, if you want something a little more daring, try Maison Margiela&#8217;s Replica By the Fireplace. This fragrance captures the smoky warmth of a cozy cabin, with notes of chestnut and vanilla.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, embracing your wild side is key to pairing a bold fragrance with an animal print outfit. Feel free to take risks and experiment with different scents. After all, fashion should be fun! So go ahead, unleash your inner beast, and make a statement with your scent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lions &amp; tigers &amp; cheetahs and &#8230; OH MY! &#8220;Oh my&#8221; is right &#8212; especially when you&#8217;re trying to figure out the difference between all of these big-bad-animal prints!
