My New Found Love For Leopard Prints- Styling Leopard Prints in 5 Ways
Leopard prints have been dominating the fashion world for the past many years and it never goes out of trend. Calling them timeless would not be wrong. And it's still roaring in the fashion world.
To be honest, I never really liked anything leopard print before. It was not until recently, and I mean 2 months recently that I have been seeing a lot of leopard print dresses and tops in the internet, fashion stores and famous instagrammers and influencers rocking this print. One day as I was shopping at a local Macy's store, I came across a Jennifer Lopez dress in leopard prints and I thought to myself, hmm! maybe I should give this a try.
The material was soft and a bit stretchy and the print was not in-your- face out loud. When I tried it on, it complimented the shape of my body and hugged all my curves! In short, I loved how it looked on me! And I got a lot of compliments about it when I wore it to a dinner.
I admit I was a bit hesitant to wear it and use anything with leopard prints because growing up, I thought that it was just not cool. I guess I just didn't give it a chance until now.
I found some tips on how to wear leopard prints and not look like a fashion victim.
Less Is More!
No matter how much you love a leopard print, it's always good to keep its use to a limit. Incorporating too much of this print will make you look like a fashion victim. What's important is to wear one item at a time.
Add A Pop Of Color
The exotic leopard print can be skillfully jazzed up with a flare of a show stopping color. Pairing a leopard print with a vibrant hues promises a fabulous fashion and chic style. The colors that may include: gold, taupe, brown and white.Shades of red, green and pink are also stunning with it.
Stay Classy
I've learned that wearing a leopard print is not that simple. There is a very thin line between a classy and cheesy look. Leopard prints are quite dramatic in themselves.
Don't Over Accessorize
Accessories are the best way to elevate any look you want to wear. But I learned that this rule does not apply with this look. Leopard prints are already quite decorative themselves. So, to stay classy, you have to choose wisely. Pairing too many accessories will just make the look complicated.
And Lastly, Wear It With Confidence!
Like me, there is probably a lot of girls out there who would feel nervous while wearing leopard prints for the first time. What matters is your self confidence.
