Even the celebrities are wearing it!!
The Do's and Don'ts of Leopard Print
DO'S
Do highlight your best features. Since animal prints will draw attention instantly, you will probably want to show off your best features and to make sure that the visual interest is not directed in the areas you are not exactly proud of. In this sense, animal prints can be your greatest friend as they can highlight only the body parts you want if you choose them wisely.
Do pair animal prints with neural colors. Since animal prints have a powerful capacity to instantly draw attention it's important to stick to neutral tones to maintain the outfit as classy as possible.
An added benefit aside from the refinement this technique gives is that by wearing neutral, solid colors on the body parts you don't consider to be your greatest assets you will get a noticeable slimming effect without too much effort. Black, chocolate brown, muted grays are good choices.
Do keep accessories at a bare minimum. Since animal prints can quickly become overpowering it's best not to go overboard when it comes to accessories. If you are not using animal printed accessories to spice up a simple outfit, the accessories should be chosen carefully to avoid style clashes.
Do adapt animal prints to your personality. The best way to rock the animal print trend is to choose a style that reflects your personality since this trend is almost all about attitude anyway.
For example if you are used with a very classic and traditional clothing style, it's best to stick to a few animal printed accessories in the beginning.
On the other hand if you want a modern sexy look a leopard print with a pencil skirt and stillettos might be the right combo for you. Define your own rules when it comes to animal prints to feel comfortable,confident and to look your best.
DON'Ts
Don't mix prints. Although it can be tempting to subscribe to the idea that different prints can work well together it can be very challenging to find the right combo and the results are rarely flattering. Aside from not mixing animal prints with other types of prints such as florals or polka dots, it's also important not to mix different animal species at once since.
Don't choose a hairstyle with a lot of volume when wearing animal prints. The advice to keep hair volume at reasonable levels also has to do with not creating an overpowering look. If you normally have problems with achieving the oomph you want, this can be a great time saver as well.
Don't go too short. While animal prints can be a great sex appeal booster on this own it can be quite tempting to choose go too short or reveal too much skin in the process as well. This type of mistake is also one of the most common reasons why certain people view animal prints as tacky.
