One of the most-seen trends lately (that has actually been dominating fashion world for years) is leopard print. This is one of the prints I always stayed away from, but I have to say since the past year I’ve slowly incorporated it into my wardrobe and I find it to be such a fun print to style, especially during fall-winter. However, there are some DO’s& DON’Ts that I want to share with you in order to pull-of leopard the chic, elegant way, without looking like a fashion victim.

Unleash Your Inner Leopard: How to Wear Leopard Print

One (leopard) Print at a Time

Whatever leopard item you choose, from shoes to clothes to a leopard coat- my first tip would be to stick to one leopard print item at a time. Wearing multiple leopard-print items can be a bit too much and make the overall look a bit tacky. Less is definitely more in this case! Also, I wouldn’t personally wear another print when wearing leopard, which is a statement print already. The classy way to wear this print is with neutral, solid colors and it is also the trendiest way, apparently!

Keep it Minimal, Keep it Classy

When wearing such a showstopper print like leopard, stick to one-two minimal accessories to keep the look clean and minimal. Over-accessorizing will make your look too cluttered and it is the thing we’re trying to avoid. I’d stick to either silver or gold accessories that are delicate and timeless.

Choose loose over tight

I find that choosing loose-fitting leopard-print garments with a feminine minimal cut is way more classy than wearing tight-fitting garments. The tight fit can give the unwanted overwhelming look, and I think in this case loose is the way to go.

A Tiny Pop of Color

If you want to add a bit of color to this very neutral look to jazz it up, I would do it with a hint of color with my shoes, accessorize or with a bold red lip. This way you can add some color and break the neutral vibe without it being overpowering.

Start Small

Want to incorporate some leopard into your wardrobe but not sure how? start small by wearing a leopard clutch, a pair of leopard shoes or even a leopard scrunchie: those little accent pieces will for sure upgrade your looks easily.

Take it all with a grain of salt

The truth is- there are no rules in fashion- just wear whatever you the way you want to wear it! I would say my style is more classic and less dramatic- but this is just personal preference. No matter how you wear it- wear it with a smile and confidence and rock it!

How to style a leopard print skirt

For my “leopard look” today I wore a cute mini skirt that I purchased last winter from a local store here in Israel. I really liked the cool-toned, non-overpowering leopard print and thought it could be a great fit for my personal style. Another thing I liked about this skirt is that it is pretty much timeless- it isn’t a trendy piece that I will wear for one season only but a good staple that I will go back to time and time again. To keep my look classy and minimal, I added a simple black sweater (that I wear non-stop for years and years now), a stunning pair of vegan leather boots by Love Sofie, my beloved, luxurious Colibri bag and a simple gold coin necklace. I think this look is the complete opposite of trashy: we don’t need to be afraid to wear leopard- it is all about how we wear it.
