One hot trend for Spring that I'm loving-- when done right-- is snakeskin.

Yes. Snakeskin. Get the look right and it will add major style and sophistication to your neutrals. Get it wrong and... you'll look like a hoochie.

Personally, I'd stick with snakeskin accessories only (NO snakeskin print clothing, PLEASE) and look for as neutral of a print as possible. That way, not only will you be perfectly on trend this season, you'll also have invested in a wardrobe staple in the years to come.

Got it? Good. Here are a few of my favorite snakeskin accessories for Spring...

 
My personal favorite way to wear snakeskin is on a neutral pump like this Ralph Lauren version, $77.90 from Endless.com.

 

 

Most snakeskin jewelry I've seen is a little much, but this vintage snakeskin coil bracelet on Etsy is kewl, and it's just $24.

 

 
I'm also loving this pretty little silver snakeskin clutch, $48 from my guilty LA pleasure, Kitson.

 

 
For a slightly more dramatic look, I'm crazy for these BCBGeneration sandals, $79.95 at Nordstrom.

 

 
This skinny metallic snakeskin belt would work with just about anything. $24.50 from Express.

 

 
Want a more sophisticated look at work? You can't beat these Rachel Roy peep toe pumps, $99 at Macy's.

 

 
And finally, an understated snakeskin bag, $79 from Chico's.

 

What do you think of snakeskin? It seems a little daring up close, but when I've seen neutral snakeskin shoes on women, I've absolutely loved them.
