There’s nothing beastly about this beautiful trend, besides the animals themselves of course. Vogue notes, “There may be two wolves inside of you, but why not wear a horse and a butterfly on the outside?” Dive into the delightful realm of whimsical animal motifs that add a playful touch to your wardrobe. With a resurgence in designs inspired by the natural world, these charming accents bring life and personality to any outfit, perfect for summertime escapades.
