Leopard print is frequently touted in fashion magazines- as THE latest and hottest fashion trend. If you ever wondered why, it's because it is beloved by: designers, stylists, celebs and fashionistas alike. We keep buying it! Therefore, it never really "goes out of style". And it's a good thing too, otherwise my wardrobe would be in serious trouble!
So, for the uninitiated, how does one go about rocking the leopard print in a chic, fashionable way?
1- The more realistic looking the print- the better!
Regardless of the fabrication, be it chiffon, faux fur, or silk--the more authentic looking the print is-- the more luxurious and chic your ensemble will be.

The natural coloring, painterly brush-strokes and size of spots make this a flattering leopard print choice. |
4-Less is more! For some, all-over leopard print can be a bit intimidating, or just a little too much. In that case- opt for accessories! If that floor-length gown looks great on the hanger, but less-than-awesome on you--go for the clutch, shoes, or belt! You will still get to join the fun, and you will get more use out of it too.

Last but not least, take fashion cues from celebs who always look flawless, and frequently rock leopard print from their wardrobe-- such as Dita Von Teese and Gwen Stefani.
