Animal graphic sweaters and sweat shirts are an easy way to update your casual look in a jiffy. They’re PETA approved and take solid separates or denim from meh to (to quote Seinfeld’s Kenny Bania)”Gold Jerry, gold!”. Who wouldn’t love the raw fierceness of Givenchy’s Rottweiler tee, especially as seen on the likes of Liv Tyler? Buyer beware: this is a trend that may be in for now but don’t blink because it will be over and done with by January.
ROAD TEST
Personally, I’m a little less savage than Ms Tyler, so my choice was an adorable Terrier on a grey cotton/wool blend 525America sweater. I decided to give ghetto fabulous a try and added a Lanvin beanie, R13 boyfriends, Thierry Lasry sunnies, a Rick Owens scarf shawl and Guiseppe Zanotti open toe booties. I’m thinking my bite was just as big as my bark. Grrr.
