You need courage to wear animal prints, that's for sure. It is a two way thing, as when properly worn it can become a real fashion statement boosting any dull outfit, but when matched wrongly it turns into a major fashion disaster. Animal prints represent, first of all, a bold choice, a dangerous game that requires a certain fashion good sense in order to find the most stylish ways to wear them.
It is not always easy to wear the animal print, whether we are
talking about leopard, zebra or any other print. One important rule
is to avoid the excess of animal print and stay away from a
head-to-toe look. The best thing to do is to choose one item and
match it with the already famous neutrals. However, if you want to
create a more daring outfit, you can replace black or brown with
brighter colors, such as green or red. Another thing to take into
consideration when finding stylish ways to wear animal prints is to
pick good quality textiles as they can totally make the
difference.
Subtlety is the key word when it comes to stylish ways of wearing
animal prints. As prints tend to draw the attention towards the
area they cover, try to wear them taking into consideration your
body shape and the flaws you want to camouflage. Therefore, if you
want to hide larger hips never wear leopard printed pants and
choose instead an item with animal print in the upper part.
Remember that you should feel confident, sexy and attractive when
sporting animal prints and not embarrassed.
One of the safest ways to wear the animal print is to choose
accessories, especially if you
cannot see yourself rocking a blouse or a dress with animal prints.
Discreet and simple will always be “in”, therefore choosing an
accessory with a leopard print will bring personality and
uniqueness to a dull outfit becoming the point of attraction of
your outfit.
A pair of shoes, a scarf, a belt or a handbag will instantaneously
boost your look. As “less is more” will never go out of style, one
single accessory with animal print is enough but matched with
black, brown or pastels. A thin leopard printed belt can make a
simple outfit more daring.
Never mix different types of animal prints, but go instead for one
print and match it accordingly with neutrals and solid colors,
especially black, bright white, gray, brown, and beige. For
example, a leopard print in tones of brown and black works great
with gold, such as a golden belt or a necklace, while a zebra print
in white/black/gray tones can be worn with pastels and blue
accessories. Make sure you always keep the rest of the outfit
simple and clean. If you are not really self-confident you can rock
this trend, you should better do without or just add a printed
scarf or a pair of gloves.
Despite the fact that it sounds very hard to wear animal prints
in a very stylish way and not look weird, you should know that it
is not difficult at all to use them for both a daytime outfit or an
evening one. If you want a casual look, try to pair a masculine
blazer, a simple t-shirt, skinny jeans and ballet flats with
leopard print. Another stylish combination for a daytime look would
be a top with animal prints and a denim skirt and neutral flat
shoes.
Animal print can look super stylish for an elegant, evening outfit
too. Be courageous and try an animal printed dress teamed with
oversized accessories in a more sober touch. Pay a lot of attention
when choosing the dress as it is important to invest in breezy,
matte and high-quality fabrics, such as cotton or silk. Stay away
from synthetic fabrics or satin. A skirt with leopard print can
represent the starting point for a feminine, sexy outfit. Team it
with a cream blouse and a pair of studs. A beautiful printed coat
will always be a smart investment as long as you know how to style
it.
Animal prints can also be worn at the office. A printed dress
matched with a boyfriend blazer and ballet flats, which will add
the severe touch your outfit needs to balance the look will
certainly draw the attention in a good way. Blouses with animal
prints are even easier to wear. Paired with an oversized blazer or
a cropped one and a black skirt or pants can become the perfect
office outfit. If you choose a top with a leopard print, be very
careful when finding the right shoes. The best thing you can do is
to avoid high heels and go for flat ones, such as a pair of Oxfords
or loafers.
