Fashion is taking a walk on the wild side this season, so pull out the faux fur and leopard print.

Whether you obsess over the effortless boho-chic of Janis Joplin or love the sophisticated style of Jackie O., this trend is as versatile as the people who wear it. The key is to find your style within the trend and to run (wild!) with it.

Faux-fur vests are a great way to add layers — and interest — to an outfit. Throw one over an ethnic-print dress and pair it with boots for a low-maintenance hippie-chic look.

Want something a little more timeless? Try it with a pair of dark-wash denim and a silky black top for a classic throwback '70s style. Look for soft sweaters with fuzzy, furry textures. Or ease your way into the trend with a faux fur-trimmed handbag or clutch.

Leopard print is another fall trend with animal ambitions. Don't want to look like you belong in the zoo? Invest in a handbag. Go for a medium-size classic style (like a satchel or tote) that has good structure. Pair it with a basic black trench coat and a great pair of leather pumps for a sophisticated day-to-evening look.

Leopard-print shoes will take you for a walk on the wild side, too. Just be sure to keep everything else in your outfit fairly neutral.
