Rule the corporate jungle with animal-print lingerie

We’ve been pretty wary about animal prints making a comeback for winter — it’s a difficult style to get right, and without careful precision in applying animal prints, you could end up looking like an overzealous B-lister screaming for attention. Animal-print lingerie, however, is a different matter — if you can avoid the obvious pitfall of overdoing it, a bold animal print can help coax out your inner predator and add a shot of confidence to your day.

If you’ve got a big day coming up in your job, try slipping this bold zebra-print set from Dolce and Gabanna (above left, £59) under your work clothes, and get through the day with your own little secret that keeps you feeling beautiful and confident. If you fancy something a bit wilder, Frankly Darling’s leopard-print set (above right, £86) perfectly balances anmalistic sex appeal and ladylike refinement, helping you prowl through the corporate jungle like a leopard lurking in the bush.

US readers, Figleaves doesn’t seem to have either piece on your side of the pond, but you can grab the Frankly Darling set at the newly-redesigned Glamorous Amorous, who are selling it for £85 and will ship internationally. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for the zebra-print set!
