Spot-on Ways to Wear Leopard Print

How to unleash the inner cat in you.

Animal prints, specifically those of the leopard variety, are here to stay. They've far outgrown the "trend" category in the last couple of years, having been firmly placed next to ballet flats and cigarette pants as true classics. 

Here are some to spice up your fit!

Bag it:

Who said you have to stick to traditional leopard colors? The subtle addition of red in this bag makes it stand out from the standard. If you go for extra color, just make sure it works with the rest of the print, hot pink or ocean blue can come off childish and gaudy.

Belt it:

You'll be tempted to add this to a basic black or otherwise neutral ensemble, and that's all right. But try putting it with another print, like flowers, as well. Make sure the print has negative space in the background so the leopard doesn't end up looking like too much. A solid color with complementary-colored flora will do the trick.

Cuff it:

The cuff bracelet adds a bold element to your favorite bodycon LBD or solid going out look. Add some studs for a modern feel and you'll be wearing a leopard version long enough to start calling it vintage

Pump it:

It goes without saying that a leopard flat is tres chic. So stylish we wonder why Audrey and Jackie kept to basic black. But a leopard pump is the height of sophistication and grown-up sex appeal. Your 21st century glass slipper await

Frame it:

Whether you've got a touch of leopard in your sunnies or your eyeglasses, you've got serious style

 Underwear it:

Leopard has long held court as a standard print for lingerie because it's sexy. Try it in a pair of panties, a bra, a silk robe, or a corset.
