Leopard is a much loved animal print trend that can be tricky to wear. Find out how to incorporate the statement print through skirts rendered in the wild feline spots.
Of the few printed pieces that I own, leopard has apparently become a favorite of mine. I have one pair of leggings and three tops all rendered in the wild animal motif in the neutral color palette of black, brown and beige. One of the tops is tunic-like with a flare that starts at the waist and it is a difficult piece to pull off as the medium-sized spots are all over that they hide the curve of my waist. The only way to get some definition back is to wear a thin black or brown belt (which I don’t usually bother with as I am such a lazy dresser). Because the top comes with long narrow sleeves, I have to report that it has been reserved for the rarest of chilly days triggered by rain, which is a real waste.
I realized that if I had to add another leopard print piece into my wardrobe, I’d get an A-line midi skirt as in comparison to tops, a leopard skirt (with a small print) is way easier to style by simply teaming it with solid neutral colored top.
If you’ve always wanted to wear a leopard print but concerned that you’d look over-the-top, find for smaller prints instead of the gaudy gigantic ones. Like polka dots, smaller print size is easy on the eye and flattering to most body types. Should leopard spots prove to be too wild for your taste, look for cheetah prints instead. There is a distinct difference between the two that you can see for yourself HERE with the latter having a much simpler pattern that consists of solid black round/oval spots.
