Gettin' Snakeified: Why 2024 is All About the Slithery Chic

Writer's picture: MATTHEW LEWMATTHEW LEW

Move over, monkeys, because 2025 belongs to the serpent! That's right, the Chinese zodiac slithers in with the Year of the Snake, and let me tell you, this ain't your garden-variety noodle. We're talking mystical creatures, jungle jewels, and astrological enigmas all rolled into one scaly package.


Remember that whole "Baby Yoda" thing? Yeah, that was basically the universe warming us up for the Snake takeover. People are craving the mysterious, the primal, the hint of danger that comes with a forked tongue and zero eyelids. And let's face it, snakes have way cooler fashion sense than monkeys. I mean, have you ever seen a monkey rock a diamond-encrusted hood like Cleopatra's asp? Didn't think so.


So, how do you slither into this slithery trend? Think beyond the basic boa constrictor (although, a strategically placed scarf can never hurt). We're talking celestial snakes winding across moonlit tapestries, mythical serpents guarding enchanted forests, and maybe even a few neon pythons slithering across your kid's Halloween costume (because let's be honest, who doesn't love a good snake charmer?).




But here's the beauty of the snake: it's as versatile as it is venomous. You can go minimalist with a black-and-white sketch of a coiled cobra for that air of sophisticated mystery. Or, you can go full-on Jurassic Park with a T-Rex-sized serpent devouring a double cheeseburger (because, hey, even mystical creatures gotta eat).


So, whether you're a boho queen channeling your inner shaman or a soccer mom looking for a new Halloween costume for your kid, there's a snake out there waiting to slither into your life. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. So, wield your new scaly BFF wisely, and maybe avoid wearing white after Labor Day. You know, just in case.
