After all things pink and sparkle, Leopard print is my favourite pattern that has been incorporated into my wardrobe. With its timeless and versatile attributes, leopard print easily elevates even the most basic of outfits.

Every couple of fall fashion premiers, leopard print is the “it colour” of the season, but for me it is a timeless classic that looks great as a pair of shoes or a leopard skirt. Here are a few of my must haves and how to style it

Leopard shoes are a must have! If you purchase only one leopard print item, it should be shoes. This classic print is so versatile that is classically pairs with jeans and a sweater to that little black dress (LBD) Seriously, what other print is able to go with EVERYTHING?!

 

 

Leopard via the Classics

Leopard print in a “classic” such as sweaters, blouses and skirts is my absolute favourite  way to incorporate the bold print. With its rich colours of browns, black and creams; it makes a bold statement all the while being timeless and chic. Paired with a colourful  blazer, ballet flats, jeans and of course my signature pearls, you have the making of the perfect outfit composed of the classics (refer to previous blog posts).

 

The sweater that is paired with the blazer is the same sweater that is paired with the black pleated leather skirt. What I love about this print is that it is easily styled and it a great transition print for light weight fabrics such as linen to the heavier ones like leather.

 

 

 

 

 

Of all things leopard, a pencil skirt in this bold print has to be my favourite leopard piece. Here it is styled with a “tippi” sweater in merlot(from J.Crew) and of course my signature pearls. This natural and neutral print can be transitioned throughout the seasons by pairing it with warm to cool colors  in other words any colour from “midnight” to “neon flame” (red-orange) to “wild flamingo” (pinks)

For those who are venturing into this print for the first time, you can start with shoes or even leopard print accessories. It’s a simple way to introduce the print into your wardrobe without having to commit to an outfit.  A scarf, belt or even a headband is just enough leopard  to be subltle

And for my fashionistas who love this print, there is one “don’t” when it comes to this print: wearing various leopard prints at the same time.

A “do” for this print: mix it with different prints like this plaid blazer, which I found at Target ( pronounced with my French accent).

 

In my fashionable opinion, every woman should add at least one leopard piece to her wardrobe. It is a timeless, classic, neutral print that boldly makes a statement worn with solid colours or compliments particular prints such as plaid.  In conclusion, leopard is a very bold and sexy print, only one leopard print at a time and how ever you decide to style it, look fabulous!!!
