A research study by the University of Queensland and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions (2016) suggests that all of us need a minimum “dose of nature” for our overall wellbeing with health benefits like reduced risks of developing heart disease, stress, anxiety and depression.
If you are one of those vitiligo fighters who is experiencing mood swings and episodes of hopelessness, you might also be suffering from depression. So, what are we trying to prove here? Well, if nature offers everyone relief why don’t we, vitiligo fighters, give it a try? If your busy schedule doesn’t allow you to walk in nature for house, be that nature. Choose clothes that exhibit nature and its animals. Benefits? You will look attractive, outshining your vitiligo and feel much closer to nature and its creation.
Right from your wardrobe to your living room, there’s so much that you can do with animal prints. You can have a variety of animal print styles, right from leopard, tiger, cheetah and zebra, to spotted hyena, striped hyena, giraffe, monkey and even the African wild dog.
So, throw yourself into some wild animal instincts, and go online and shop for a whole lot of clothes, shoes, accessories, and home décor items, all with some striking animal print and nature designs.
Fashion forward
Be it Miranda Kerr or Katy Perry, they all love animal prints. Why won’t they? There’s something so gorgeous and attractive about them. You can wear an animal print top, pants, short dress, or a beautiful flowing long number and you’re sure to look breathtakingly lovely in all of them. Since animal prints are quite a bold style to wear, keep the other apparel with it rather simple and basic, and let these prints do all the shouting… or should we say ‘roaring’!
Look Test 1
You can look super-sizzling if you team-up a simple shirt and pants with a pair of animal print shoes. From ballerinas to pumps, shoes that adorn animal prints are simply stunning!
Look Test 2
Animal print accessories too look ultra-gorgeous. They bring in an element of character, which is incomparable. One animal print necklace, bangle, or pair of earrings promises to be a statement piece. The key is to go a little simple with the other accessories.
In your space
Graphic animal prints in various home décor items, such as curtains, cushions, pillows, carpets, and lots more, give a room a chic and charming twist. You can play safe with the regular combinations of black-and-white or shades of yellows and browns, or get a little experimental with patterns that are on the lines of animal prints, but in different, bolder and brighter hues, or perhaps even a combination of more than one type of print. An interesting twist would also be the ethnic African patterns, with colorful primitive geometric plant and animal ornament prints, which make for striking fabric prints and tapestry designs.
A quick tip would be to pair cool pastels with a mix of animal prints. Doing this gives the room a balanced look and feel.
