Lily James’ minidress demonstrates that this is the microtrend to watch out for in the autumn of 2023.

Lily James has once again captured our attention with her effortlessly stylish approach.

She has earned her place as a style icon by effortlessly embracing both trend-setting ensembles and daring experimental looks. By seamlessly combining two of the hottest trends of 2023 this summer, she has demonstrated that snake print is the micro trend to keep an eye on this upcoming autumn.

Lily, known for her role in “Pam & Tommy,” shared an Instagram story featuring an image originally posted by her friend and model Lorena Rae. In the photo, Lily is seen confidently sporting a blue snake print mini dress paired elegantly with black strappy heels and her iconic Ray-Ban sunglasses.

While animal print, including snake print, has maintained a prominent presence in the fashion world since the 1970s, it is currently undergoing a revival for the late summer and autumn of 2023. This resurgence is substantiated not only by runway displays from various brands but also by the fashion community’s incorporation of these prints into their everyday and off-duty ensembles.

The revival of this polarizing trend was first hinted at during the SS23 fashion shows. Design label 16Arlington showcased eye-catching python print pieces with a glittery touch, while fashion houses like Alaïa, Khaite, and Tod’s presented their own unique interpretations of snake print designs. More recently, Khaite and Ganni have continued to inspire with their AW23 collections, solidifying snake print’s place in the current fashion landscape.

Snake print has also gained traction among fashion enthusiasts. Emily Ratajkowski, a prominent street-style influencer, proudly displayed her “serpent nails” on Instagram, and Jennifer Lopez incorporated luminous yellow snake print leggings into her workout attire.

Another unexpected micro trend that has surfaced is the rose print. While floral patterns have long been associated with summer fashion, the rose print offers a fresh perspective on this timeless motif. According to Natalie Salmon, the digital editor of Hello! Fashion, the rose print exudes elegance, femininity, and sensuality. The intricate depiction of blossoms interwoven with delicate stems and leaves creates a visually captivating effect that immediately captures attention. The versatility of the rose print allows it to complement various fashion styles and occasions, making it a versatile choice for contemporary fashion enthusiasts.
