The mighty leopard print, the most powerful look out there.
Whether you love it or hate it, you cannot fault its ability to create a cohesive look when paired with any item of black clothing. So, just why are people going so roaring mad for animal print?
Probably because of how versatile the print is. It is daring, yet also a fashion neutral. Whether you go pure Kat Slater vibes or a straight off the runaway girl look, leopard print can be stylized however you want. Both summer and winter, girls just can’t resist the leopard print!
We have seen leopard print tear down runways, the different looks the top fashion designers present, show just how miscellaneous styling leopard print can be. You see Tom Ford bringing an electric, daring and lustrous red leopard print suit forward while Victoria Beckham’s leopard print coat was one of her most talked-about pieces from last years Autumn/Winter show. The lightweight and sleek leopard print coat, different from the colour that of Tom Fords, gives off a more casual and modish feel and look. So time to know our Leopard Print from our Cheetah Print.

When it comes to lady’s leopard print tops, there’s a whole variety to choose from, depending on the occasion. You’ve got the leopard print blouse, perfect for the office.

Tuck a leopard print shirt into a cute black skirt – chic!
You have then got the leopard print bodysuit – perfect for the getaway with the girls! Tuck it into some high waisted denim shorts, perfect for the night on the town or a casual stroll down the beach this summer.

What to wear with a leopard print skirt?
The leopard print skirt may seem too loud for some, yet it is one of the most adaptable pieces out there.

Throw on some sporty trainers for a dress-down look or glam it up with a pair of dainty heels.
A leopard print denim skirt is ultra-trendy with a baggy jumper tucked in at the front. Again, the ability to rock it casually with a pair of boots for a downtown look or slip into some heels for drinks with the girls. The denim skirt is an all-time fav!
