You know how they say dress for the job you want? Well, we’re dressing for the vacation we want — a South African safari. We have always dreamed of seeing the beautiful landscapes and animals in their natural habitat.
To bring our sartorial daydream to life, we opt for a mix of chic utilitarian pieces and bold references to the animal kingdom. From denims to animal prints, we’re embodying safari style — and bringing it straight to Nashville’s trendy Twelve Thirty Club.
Double dose of denim
Denim may seem casual and practical, but the inky indigo-blue wash transforms these pieces into posh wardrobe staples. Look for similarly dark dyes this season.
Abigail pairs her oversized vest with matching wide-leg jeans, and uses closed-toe stilettos and gold jewelry to elevate the look. Emily dons a denim shirtdress that’s fit for adventure, with four large pockets that eliminate the need for a big bag. Her belt accentuates the waist in an otherwise unstructured dress, and her open-toe heels add a bit of shine to the look.

Wild wear
Just as wildlife wanders to a watering hole for a drink, we wander to the bar — for a couple craft cocktails. Powerful prints are the perfect go-to when you want to make a statement and radiate confidence this season.
Emily goes with a monochromatic zebra look, paired with a burgundy boot for a fun pop of color. Patterned pieces stand out, even with minimal accessorizing, so she keeps her styling simple. Abigail selects a tantalizing tiger-print maxi dress, which is wildly comfortable and made of mesh. Maxi dresses, like this one, make getting dressed a breeze since you don’t have to fuss with separates.

On the prowl
Leopard prints are truly timeless. They never go out of fashion, and they appear in new styles and silhouettes season after season. If you want to have fun with fashion while building a timeless wardrobe, this fierce print is a great pick.
Abigail dons a desert-toned, double-breasted blazer with a cheeky pop of print on the cuffs. To edge up the soft linen look, she styles the piece with leather pants and — of course — leopard boots. Emily sports a tasteful leopard canvas jacket. She balances out the look with sleek black flare jeans and metallic pumps.

Safari so good
Whether you are out for drinks or on an expedition, earth tones are always in vogue. With everything from tans and browns to greens and grays on offer, anyone can find their ideal earthy shade.
Abigail takes inspiration from safari guides with this olive-green matching set. The look wouldn’t be complete without a wide-brim hat and knee-high boots, and the set’s gold buttons add some flair to the ensemble. Emily opts for every earth tone imaginable with this new spin on camouflage. Her green hat picks up the undertones in her bodycon dress, making the look feel complete.
