Weekly Fashion Fix: Animal Magic

When it comes to animals, we’re a sucker for a cute furry face.

Foxes. Owls. Lions. When it comes to animals, we’re a sucker for a cute furry face. Just don’t mention the domestic cat (we come out in hives).

First up, we’re loving the awesome detail on this Supremebeing Mont Bar Sweatshirt. In fact, this cool illustrated bear has got us remembering the old kids’ TV classic – Gentle Ben. Now there’s a theme tune! Ahem, anyway, back to the matter in hand – fashion! So, this sweater comes in classic heather grey with nice thick ribbed cuffs at the wrist to help keep the cold out. Erm, don’t know about you but we feel a trip to London Zoo coming on! The damage? £49.99 from Surfdome.

Peeking out at the back, it’s the Deep V-Neck Desert Fox T-Shirt from Art Disco for £25. It’s been hand screen-printed using eco-friendly inks so you know you’re getting quality and (although we’re sure it’s not in real life) that little fox certainly does have the cute factor.

A bespectacled lion on a t-shirt? Er, it’s only courtesy of the crazy minds at Threadless. And for $20 it’s yours – plus postage (which sucks a little cos they’re all the way across the pond)… but needs must. And this Lions Are Smarter Than I T-shirt is a definite must.

Foxes. They look so darn good on clothing we couldn’t help but choose two items: firstly, these Paul Smith Blue Cotton Foxy Socks for (look away now if you’re of a weak disposition) £20 from Urban Outfitters. Secondly, and for $21, it’s this Fox on a Bike Shirt (where else would you find a fox?!) from Dark Cycle Clothing on Etsy. Layer over a long sleeve t-shirt and wear into the winter months.

Lastly, for those of you who only fancy dabbling in the animal trend, how about this handmade Illustrated Badger Brooch for £8 from Crumpetty Tree at Not On The High Street? Perfect for livening up a plain tee or sweater, or pinning to your bag.
