Spring 2012 Fashion Trend: Python Prints & Texture - Casadei Python Skin Pump & more shopping the trend

With winter sales winding down, and our favourite online stores full of new-season arrivals, it's time to revisit a trend that was already profiled, but worth a second look!

You can call this trend python, snakeskin or any reptile for that matter, and it comes in both textures and prints. The colours tend to be mostly neutral, but you can also choose colour here - red, blue, pink, purple - if you can find your favourite color in python, definitely go for it!

For the office, your best option is print tops and blouse, or even smart little dresses... choose shapes that are minimalist and simple (in line with the menswear-inspired trend), and glam up the look with accessories, as needed. The tops you buy (and wear!) now will look terrific with summer whites, so keep this in mind as a transitional trend as well. For weekends and evening, get an instant style update with a new pair of skinny jeans in python, and if you're looking for a new item jacket, check out this gorgeous faux python leather jacket.

We can't talk about snakeskin without a look at shoes and accessories - a nifty little clutch for the evening, a practical and stylish tote, and of course, some fabulous python pumps and sandals! These statement peep-toes from Casadei make the ultimate fashion statement, but you can find plenty of python in lower heels, wedges and even fun flats..

Iconic handbags are now available in luxe python textures - Michael Kors offers a complete selection of totes, clutches, wallets & more, the Chloe Paraty and the Chloe Sally have been updated, and Reed Krakoff textured bags with python accents are second to none!
