Narcisco Rodriguez worked snakeskin into his fall runway collection in the most elegant, understated way possible. I can't get enough of the clean lines on this oversize clutch. (Has anyone noticed these things keep getting bigger and bigger?)

Snakeskin pumps can work as an accent color with basic black or white ensembles, or as a neutral with bold shades or color-blocked prints. We love how Something Navy blogger Arielle Nachmani adds snakeskin to this colorful outfit.

Model Lily Aldridge does double duty, coordinating her bright outfit with a slim snakeskin belt and matching snakeskin clutch. We say, "Why not?"

Diane von Furstenberg proves snakeskin need not be basic gray or tan. These purple lace-up heels were among our favorites at the spring/summer fashion shows.

These Linda Farrow snakeskin sunglasses are a favorite of Rihanna's. Here the pattern is all about texture rather than color, and it's full-on retro glamorous.
