10 Ways to Master the Croc Trend this Fall - Inspired by the Characters of Gossip Girl

From unique fashion finds to yoga mats and travel accessories, we found the trendiest croc-embossed styles to spruce up your daily routine. Featuring items for fashion, fitness, travel, computers, beauty, games and more!

FASHION

Emily Lind's character from the Gossip Girl reboot is the QUEEN of the croc bag trend; just look at these three croc-embossed examples from Episode 2. We found the exact items seen on her character, Audrey Hope, plus some cost-effective alternatives.

1. Bags & Clutches

This black YSL Uptown Clutch is beyond gorgeous, but at $675 (Net-A-Porter) it might be bit out of budget. Luckily we found some similar options for you that are all under $40 on Amazon! (Click images to shop individual products).

This unique JW Pei bag features croc-embossed vegan leather, a detachable strap, AND an affordable price point! Available in a range of colors and sizes from $89-129.

Another great fashion moment from Episode 2 was this mini triangle bag in an ice blue croc design ($49, JW Pei).

FITNESS & ATHLEISURE

2. Water Bottles & Travel Cases

Nothing is more important to a workout than staying hydrated... except staying stylish. Luckily these water battles and carry bags will help you with both! The purple croc water bottle is just $29 (Amazon), while these hands-free Ted Baker crossbody bags come in black ($120, Ted Baker) and a beautiful lilac color ($89, Selfridges).

5. Yoga Mats

Don't be fooled by the expert design - these yoga mats are smooth in texture like a regular mat, but the print gives the illusion of croc skin ($55-78, Zazzle).

6. Sports Bras

These fun croc-print sports bras are ready for your most fashionable workout to date. Available now at Saks Off Fifth (regularly $58, but on sale for $29.99 at the time this blog was published).

If you're looking for something a bit more travel-friendly than a laptop, we'd recommend these luxurious faux crocodile iPad cases from Chic Geeks ($75, Saks Fifth Avenue).

BEAUTY

9. Styling Tools & Accessories

Time to upgrade and personalize your coveted Dyson tools with these unique croc-embossed Dyson cases which are available in a range of fun and stylish colors ($39.99, Ali Express). If you don't have any of the Dyson hair products yet, take this as your call-to-action! Dyson technology is second-to-none and perfect for every type and concern. Our Founder & CEO swears by Dyson specifically for the cool settings, which she claims has "saved" her previously damaged hair by providing a smooth finish without any of the added heat of a traditional dryer. She is equally obsessed with the Dyson Air Wrap set ($549, Bed Bath & Beyond), which she bought second, and loves the portability of choosing specific attachments for when she travels.

PLAYTIME

10. Video Games

Games aren't just for kids, especially when you add a super chic croc skin to it. Add some glam to your Nintendo Switch with these faux leather skins ($38, EasySkinz). Don't have a Switch yet? We'd recommend the fan favorite Animal Crossings Edition ($299, Walmart).
