Show Your Skin...Snakeskin That Is!

Hssss…! Snakes are not only slithering in the jungles of exotic locales, they are also making a huge imprint in fashion with this season’s most coveted graphics. Last year may have been the year of the snake, but wearing your skins is still in for 2014. Designers have jungle fever this season, incorporating exotic details into a variety of styles and silhouettes. Snakeskin comes in the richly authentic luxurious version, and it’s faux alternate for us frugal shoppers. It also comes in a variety of colors and this winter it's seen on everything from boots, to belts to clutches and dresses.

An elegant dress, bag or shoe is one of the easiest ways to incorporate snakeskin into your wardrobe. But while a plethora of python sheath dresses and clutches on the market right now are waiting to be snapped up, wearing just one serpentine element makes it more memorable. Here are snakeskin styles you won't want to resist that will unleash your untamed and wild side.
