I’m a sucker for print, and I love leopard print. Some will suggest that leopard can make a girl look “trashy” or “over the top”—anything can look trashy or over the top if that’s your motive when getting dressed. Leopard print tends to pop up every fall, but don’t fall into the ploy that leopard is a “trend”. Trend schmend. Leopard is timeless; the print has been around for decades, and it isn’t going anywhere. However, when you happen across some leopard print this fall, don’t be afraid to embrace the print.
Avoid:
- Head to toe animal print. The runway makes it look like it is possible to leave the house in a fur leopard hat, a leopard trenchcoat, leopard gloves, leopard tights, and leopard shoes, but let’s be honest—you’d be a walking eye sore if you left the house in that manner.
- Pairing leopard print with extremely bright shoes (red, hot pink, yellow).
- Being too matchy-matchy. Seek balance with your leopard print.
Embrace:
- Leopard print accessories. A pair of gloves, a wrist watch, shoes, belt, or a purse may be the perfect complement to a purple dress or a ruffled blouse and black skirt.
- Sleek hair. A wild mane will put you in the same category of the leopard’s cousin, the lion. Play up the leopard print by decreasing the amount of attention drawn to your head/hair.
- Layering up in leopard. A silk leopard blouse can be worn under a cropped moto jacket, a soft merino wool vest, or underneath a blazer.
I have two vintage leopard dresses, and several leopard accessories and skirts that I’ve collected over the years, and I always like to wear these items in the fall. I’ve found that basic black tights and a black blouse is an easy way to break up “over the top” leopard print.
Do you own leopard print clothing? How do you wear it?
I have a few leopard print things, one time (I wish to forget) I wore a horrid leopard print outfit, too much leopard hehe so today I try for it to be subtle, I would love to have a leopard print vintage coat (ahh one can only dream)
Ah, yes. I have vivid memories of me wearing a leopard coat, red leopard shoes, and carrying a leopard purse. TRAGIC. I do have a vintage coat with leopard lining. My plan is to roll up the sleeves to reveal the print. You know what? Maybe I should write a blog post dedicated to fashion mishaps in my past…eek. I’m too afraid to post the pictures!
Oh I forgot to mention that yes, your blog doesn’t appear to update on my blog list, I don’t know why! That’s why I have to come directly to see whether you have updated, it’s doesn’t show as updated on my list of blogs that I’m following either (bummer).
Now if we talk about tragic outfit oh there is one horrid outfit I wore back in 1997, it’s still painful to remember it, denim overalls dress, flower print shirt (brown), braids, beanie hat and cowgirl boots!! I don’t know why someone didn’t stop me from going out looking like that hahahaha!
Love leopard but it took me a while to get into it. I finally fell in love with a pair of Boutique 9 stacked heels in a pony hair leopard print - TO DIE FOR! They are classic and make everything extra sassy
I don’t do much leopard print. I think it’s pretty, but I just don’t. I do wear zebra print every so often. Maybe I’d rather be the prey than the predator
