Chic Style: Cheetah and Leopard Print
October 6, 2012 | by

Take a walk on the wild side and break out your cheetah and leopard print! Although these lovely patterns are fierce in style, there is a fine line between classy and trashy. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Accessorize with gold. The neutral colors of leopard and cheetah match perfectly with gold-toned jewelry. Since leopard and cheetah print are bold patterns all alone, be wary of crossing paths with other loud patterns!

Add a blazer for some chic flair. A classy blazer adds instantaneous class to almost any outfit; a perfect way to tame your wild side. Similar to accessories, nude colors look fantastic with animal print. You can go with a classic black or maybe a bright red blazer!

Make a bold statement.The pattern itself is a bold statement! Why not try using a leopard-patterned bootie to play up your outfit? Or even a handbag or scarf!

Mix and match.Leopard and cheetah print can instantly spice up any basic outfit. Try the combination of animal print shoes and a belt! Or accessorize with leopard stud earrings and a cardigan.

Less is more. When it comes to animal print, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. The last thing you want is a leopard overload or a clash of patterns. Pick one statement piece and you’ll be set!
