Leopard print is a seriously hot look which is set to stay around for the next few seasons. It’s easy to see why a splash of animal print is the perfect way to update your wardrobe, but before you run horrified with visions of Kat Slater and Scary Spice flashing before your eyes, the trick is to keep it chic. There are a few golden rules we can learn when it comes to playing with this fabulously furry trend; keep the rest of your outfit simple and don’t flaunt the flesh.
Think touches of purrrffect prints to become a fabulously stylish sex kitten this season. Try adding a leopard print cropped furry jacket or stylish trench, then accessorise with elegant 40’s style waves in your hair. Complete the look with vixen-esque red lippie teamed with matching nail varnish. It’s a seriously sexy way to vamp up your classic LBD (Little Black Dress) and is the perfect way to take you from work to play in an instant. Remember to keep your jewellery and accessories to a minimum, large hoops and dangly chandelier earrings are a definite no-no to avoid that trashy bar maid look.
Or if you’re feeling just a little feline and foxy, a well placed scarf, a hot pair of heels or a gorgeous tote bag can help transform your look. The must have accessory of the moment that’s had the fashion pack hot on its heels is the leopard print platform stilettos. These seriously funky, chunky heels are very Katy Perry and are a hot look for spring. Wear with a classic trench and jeans for that Hollywood starlet, off-duty look. Complete your look and avoid the paparazzi’s glare with a classic dark pair of shades.
Avoid fashion overkill, aka Miss Paris Hilton, by wearing just one statement leopard print piece. Less is most definitely more when it comes to this spotty, dotty trend. Avoid any cutesy bows or leotards to avoid looking like a life size Pebbles Flintstone. She may be cute, but it certainly doesn’t make the fashion bed-rock. Also, please steer clear of any torn or frayed edges; you don’t want to look like a trashy glamour girl on a bad night out - not a good look.
