a little bit of leopard

Lovely leopard. A style that never goes out of fashion and is totally and utterly a necesssity in every wardobe. As a general rule of thumb, it’s a good idea to steer clear of skin-tight numbers and stick to loose-fitting pieces with feminine details and relaxed lines. Some other little tips:-

Pair a leopard-print blouse with denim cutoffs.
Loosely front-tuck your blouse and finish off your outfit with flats.

Treat leopard like a neutral and mix it with other prints.
The soft, organic shapes of naturalistic leopard print look great next to more graphic prints like polka dots, stripes, and plaids. The most modern way to wear pattern is to layer up and clash.

Use leopard as a tiny accent on an otherwise clean and simple outfit.
A little bit of leopard can go a long way. The simpler and more monochromatic the rest of your look, the more that touch of leopard will pop. Wear it in the form of a narrow belt to subtly draw attention to your waist, or on sunglasses to draw the eye up toward your face.

Carry a leopard bag with, well, anything.
Believe it or not, leopard is a neutral. In fact, it’s three neutrals in one — black, khaki, and white — and there is just something about a leopard-print bag that feels particularly versatile. It just goes with everything.
