IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE

Leopard can be a very tricky pattern to wear. While I do think that it's flirty and fun, it's also a very bold pattern. Less is more in my opinion when it comes to any kind of animal print. When there is too much print from head to toe it's easy to go from stylish to tacky. 

As I mentioned before, leopard is really a flirty, sexy and playful print. When it's done right, its oh so fab! I think some key things to remember when wearing leopard is to make sure your outfit flatters your body type. Make sure you wear the leopard (not the other way around) and that it doesn't swallow you up. I think keeping it form-fitted and near knee length is the best way to go and keep your accessories to a minimum when your print is the main focus.

Personally, when I wear leopard I like to keep it simple. I like for the leopard to be the "wow" factor and add that extra "umph".  I think it's a good idea to highlight your outfit with a leopard clutch, scarf, blouse, or a hot pair of leopard pumps!
