Check out our top tips for nailing the leopard trend below.
Treat it as a neutral
Honestly! Your animal instincts may hint that this print is the stand-alone feature of any outfit, but that’s not true! After all, it’s typically a mix of black, brown, and white; all neutral shades that go with everything. Sure, a leopard print dress pairs effortlessly with black heels, but amp up the look even further with red pumps and even a red lip.
Add a leather jacket
While this wild print has found its place in formalwear, it’s easily dressed down for a casual night out. Pair a leopard print dress with a moto jacket and ankle booties when the weather gets chilly. Rawr.
Keep fabric in mind
How to know when leopard print is dressy enough? When shopping, remember to look at the fabric. A satin dress offers a hint of shine making it dressier than say, a scuba or Jersey dress, which fall on the more casual side. Therefore, satin works for a wedding or even a formal homecoming celebration, while a Jersey mini is more suitable for a girls’ night out.
