Leopard print has been in fashion for several decades, but from time to time its popularity fades away and then grows again. In the last 10-15 years, leopard print has been at the height of fashion, and its images are incredibly diverse. But when choosing clothes with this print for yourself, you always need to remember about a sense of proportion, which is important to observe with predatory animalism. Otherwise, the image will be overloaded.
7 ways to wear a leopard print (for a safer style)
1. Black total bow instead of combinations with other colors and prints
Head to toe black may seem like a grim idea to some, but it's actually very good for its neutral safety. If you choose a black total bow, then the leopard print will become a gentle highlight, diluting this dark aesthetics with stylish animalism.
2. Denim instead of leather
Denim can be put on a par with black in its relative safety for the image. And jeans in themselves have long been considered the most casual wear, and this blue fabric is so familiar to the eye... In these outfits, the leopard print acts as an accent that harmonizes perfectly with denim, creating a balanced casual set without a hint of ambiguity. In contrast to the leopard's union with black skin.
3. Accessories instead of accent clothing
Universal advice for all time, which applies not only to the leopard print. Are you afraid that you will look too bright, frivolous, wearing a blouse, sweater, skirt or trousers in this or that color or print? Opt for neutral base and accents in the form of accessories. This can be a bag, shoes, scarf, as well as a hat or belt.
4. Knitted cardigan instead of a leather jacket
Knitwear almost always looks cozy and home-like, so it calms any other clothes, as if covering its courage with its warmth. Like denim, jersey perfectly balances the daring character of leopard print without letting the look look too provocative. This is the difference between a leopard biker jacket and a knitted cardigan with a predatory print.
5. Pencil skirt instead of pants (or leopard top)
There are women who shouldn't wear prints or bright colors around their faces. The catchy leopard print is the same story. If you want it to be safe for your image, then choose a skirt in this pattern, preferring neutral monochrome options for blouses, sweaters and jackets. Also, a skirt for timid fashionistas is always preferable to leopard trousers, especially tight leggings.
6. Subdued minimalism instead of vibrant authenticity
In the last 10-15 years, when the leopard is in fashion, its image has changed significantly. Other color versions of this print have appeared that are impossible not to find in the wild. Therefore, you can opt for an outfit in muted or alternative colors that look both more original and less fatiguing to the eye.

7. Jacket or coat over leopard print
A simple fashion trick that comes to the rescue with clothes that are too revealing or too bright. It just needs to be covered with a jacket, jacket, coat or scarf on top. Choose a blouse, top or sweater with a leopard print - cover it up with a plain jacket, a minimalist coat or a knitted cardigan! The predatory accent will remain, but it will no longer be so heavy.
