The thought of leopard print can be scary. Go too bold, and you may find yourself looking like Fred Flintstone. But, do it just right, and leopard print can give you the perfect amount class with a little sass.
The leopard prints we saw all over the runway this fall were anything but tacky. We saw everything from subtle hints of leopard on sunglasses to oversized leopard prints on chunky sweaters. This look might seem dated, but we like to think of it as timeless—hence, it's current modern revival.
Leopard print is very eye catching, so it can take a bit of forethought to wear it without looking like the spotted feline yourself. But, if you just absolutely love leopard, pair a leopard print coat with black tights and flats for a classic look, just don’t go overboard. And whatever do, NEVER wear all leopard print everything, (think leopard shoes, pants, and blouse). For a spunkier modern look, pair leopard print skinny jeans with a fitted leather jacket and black pumps. If you like leopard but don't want to include it in your clothes, throw on a leopard print belt or pair of shoes—it will add the right amount of flare to any toned-down outfit!
For more inspiration on how to wear leopard print without going overboard, check out some of these cute celeb styles below. We have Kate Moss sporting a more classic and sophisticated look while wearing a leopard print coat, black leggings, black scarf and boots. Next to her we have Gwen Stefani in a more casual look wearing a lovely oversized leopard print sweater, black skinny jeans and boots.
Bottom line is, less is more when planning your leopard print styles.
