The Snake Dress Has Solidified Its Spot in the Zeitgeist

We’ll admit it: We underestimated the staying power of snake print dresses. (Everybody makes mistakes.) When they first made their way into the trendscape—around 2017—we didn’t necessarily think these dresses would last. After all, how could any animal print hold its own against the iconic, tried-and-true leopard print? But as the years have passed, plus-size snake print dresses remain a fixture in all our favorite retailers—proving they have enduring appeal. And frankly, we should have expected as much.

Snake print dresses aren’t a fading trend—they’ve stood the test of time and become even sexier with time. Snake print itself has always been a seriously hot print (and a going-out wardrobe dream), but when it adorns gorgeous minis and jaw-dropping bodycon dresses? Something magical happens. This particular print has a way of making our go-to sexy ensembles even hotter—and we didn’t even know that was possible.

Not to mention, plus-size snake print dresses are typically offered in classic brown and gray hues—making them incredibly easy to style. Throw on a pair of your highest heels and a leather jacket, and you’re good to go in any season. Snake print is a year-round favorite, and worth keep at the front of your closet no matter the temperature. Simply change up the accessories based on the weather. It truly could not be simpler to wear snake print dresses.

Go ahead and treat these pieces like the iconic neutrals they’re quickly becoming. We already do it with leopard print—and we suspect snake print isn’t far behind. This trend isn’t going anywhere any time soon, folks (and that’s not a bad thing).
