It’s a Jungle Out There

As many of you may have noticed, animal prints of all sorts are surfacing in the world of fashion- and by surfacing I mean they’re everywhere. The most popular print seems to be leopard. It’s an adorable print that I adore, but it comes with a challenge: how can one pull of this look without looking like a jungle freak or a cheetah girls costume gone wrong?

Here are some tips:

Don’t overdo it. This trend is a great way to make a statement and add some excitement to your wardrobe. But too much of a good thing, in this case, might land you a spot at the local zoo.

Add a feminine and updated touch. Finding a feminine piece in a feminine color instantly updates leopard print. Just remember: Keep it simple!

Don’t get too sexy. Leopard print is already more seductive than most, so avoid anything resembling lingerie. A tight satin minidress with lace, for example, is taking things too far.

Accessorize. Not into wearing leopard print on your actual clothing, but still want to give the trend a try? No problem. Leopard print accessories are a great way to spice up any outfit. Just wear them with a fairly simple outfit to avoid clashing or looking tacky.
