Catching Leopards: The Leopard Isn’t Going Anywhere
If there is any ideal animal print that captivates me and has a certain implied seduction, it’s the leopard print. Perhaps my love and appreciation for these beautiful and powerful animals has something to do with it, or perhaps it’s the combination of sophistication and playfulness it brings in equal measure to one’s style.
Over the years, the leopard print has boldly leaped and jumped to claim its rightfully reign in the fashion world….and into my closet. I adore it because its anything but apologetic. And it’s anything but a trend.
Neutral by nature, these dainty flowering cat prints easily blend with any monochrome colors which make it the ideal suitor for anything regarding fashion or style. This is the beauty of leopard print.
Regardless of how you choose to wear it, leopard is always eye catching and makes a grand and glorious impression. There’s no hiding it. A little can go a long way
Once reserved for those with enough boldness to pull it off, leopard now brings a more timeless and polished style when worn well. I dare say no one can find fault with adding a subtle splash of leopard into your outfit…. the choices are endless. The lesson I have learned in wearing patterns, prints or textured clothing is to always keep is simple. ……in my younger years, I never knew, nor was I informed, of this obvious fashion rule and how much it was a challenge for me. Too much of any pattern will just detract from your overall appearance. Less is absolutely more.
Anything leopard tells a story about the one wearing it.
You can always rely of leopard to bring a hint of the unexpected. If feeling timid about wearing leopard, a belt or scarf is the perfect place to start in the animal kingdom. And don’t get me started on the leopard jumpsuit, swimsuit, heels and ballet flats. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel leopard shoes flatter everyone.
How can you ignore the calling….Enjoy the hunt!
XOXO, J
