The Leopard Print Trend featured by popular US modest fashion blogger, Dreaming Loud
The leopard print is one of my favorite prints to wear. I love that it’s edgy, classy and timeless, totally right up my alley. Having said that, animal prints can be tricky to style. If not worn correctly, they can be overwhelming and even unflattering.
For this reason, a lot of people hesitate to even give it a try. The way I approach trends, I keep an open mind, I don’t jump to conclusions before trying them. The leopard print is currently on trend and you will find plenty of items to try in the stores.
6 Tips to remember when Styling Leopard Print or any Animal Print
Wear Only One Piece of Animal Print at a Time
Leopard print can easily be incorporated into your everyday look by adding neutral pieces like a black jacket /blazer, brown top, white tee, and neutral shoes.

Bags– fold over clutch, cross body bags or a satchel in leopard go pretty much with any neutral color outfit. Only opt for pieces in true leopard color, don’t go for bold colors like pink, unless you know how to wear them.

Accessories– Leopard scarves is a great idea to add a pop of print to a neutral outfit. I love wearing them to work with cognac/black sweater/dress.
Add Pops of Gold Jewelry to your Leopard Print
For a more elevated and classy look, add simple gold accessories as I did in this outfit by pairing the leopard skirt with gold coin necklace, and hoop earrings. Never overdo your animal print pieces with lots of accessories, you will end up looking tawdry.
Brighten Up your Leopard Print with Bold Colors
Once you got a hang around on how to wear leopard print, you can start having fun by wearing it with bold colors. You can opt for warm colors like burgundy, olive, teal, mustard to start with and move to more poppy colors like red, pink, orange or pastel colors like light blue, lilac, mint, and light yellow.
