FASHION
Snake Charmers

By Paula Rath
Advertiser Staff Writer

Python, snake and snake-like prints are a hot trend for fall, and we think they're ideal in Hawai'i. Chic and versatile, with an exotic edge, they go right along with our Island aesthetic. They also pair well with wood, shell and beads for the safari and beachy looks that are so hot right now.

Snake prints this season are not just traditional cream and black; designers are also transforming the iconic print with eye-popping colors.

We suggest inducing elements of the trend, not an all-out head-to-toe look, which could be really tacky. Here are some recent finds from our local stores and some tips on how to wear them.
