Do I have to be an animal person to love them? Are they even still in style? Here’re the right ways to enjoy snakeskins’ bold and edgy aesthetics.
Getting on board with snakeskins
I was taught in school that if I wanted to get someone on board with snakeskins, I would start by highlighting the material’s unique qualities and emphasizing how eco-friendly snakeskins can be. Then I would go on about the fashion statement that snakeskin products can make. I w. Ild show people examples of fashionable clothing or accessories made with snakeskins, and to make things better, I would also address their concerns by explaining that most snakeskin products are sourced from farms where the animals are raised for their meat and skins and that regulations are in place to ensure that the animals are treated humanely.
If that person were standing right before me, I’d say, “Oh boy, do I have a proposition for you! You know what’s slithering its way into the fashion world? Snakeskins! Yes, you heard it right, it’s time to bring out your inner reptile and show off those scales. Think about it, snakeskins are sleek, slimy, and downright sexy! You’ll feel like a total badass strutting down the street with your reptilian swagger. Plus, if anyone messes with you, you can just hiss at them and they’ll run away faster than you can say ‘ssssssss’. And don’t even get me started on the compliments you’ll receive! People will be like, ‘Wow, is that a python on your pants, or are you just happy to see me?'”
But I am not a salesperson, and I hate forcing people, neither mentally nor verbally.
So here are the things you actually should know about snakeskins:
- From luxury houses to designer brands, you can find collections of snakeskin pieces on the runway almost every year.
- By design, it’s a unique and intricate pattern you can wear for many summers.
- Unlike other apparel, there’s no snake slaughter involved in the production process.
- They are made of synthetic swimwear fabrics with prints matching different snakeskin accents.
- Snakes are often feared and misunderstood creatures, yet they have been a powerful symbol throughout human history, representing both positive and negative aspects of life.
- In ancient Greek mythology, snakes were associated with healing and wisdom. In Hinduism, snakes are revered as a symbol of divine energy and transformation, and in some Native American cultures, snakes represent fertility, rebirth, and the cycle of life.
- The motif itself is a series of tiny scales arranged in an overlapping fashion; the scales are typically a dark color, such as black or brown, with lighter hues mixed in to create a mottled appearance.
- The image of a snake shedding its skin and transforming into something new has been adopted as a metaphor for personal growth and transformation.
- Style-wise, you need to try them before saying no to them, and the results may surprise you.
- Ophidiophobia (fear of snakes) is real and can be why you instinctively choose to stay away from snakeskins.
