Animal print came into fashion last fall and has consolidated its position this year. The most popular type is leopard print. Many girls are afraid to use leopard print clothes in their looks, some prefer accessories with this print, and some have completely abandoned it.
This is a matter of taste, and for brave fashionistas, we have prepared rules for handling leopard print on skirts. The print on the skirt makes it possible to safely stand out - not on the shoes, which you notice last, but also not close to the face, which can play a cruel joke if you choose the wrong shades.
How not to look vulgar
The problem with everything leopard is the association with representatives of the oldest profession. And you really should be careful with him. In other matters, the designers presented many practical images and things in general that can be combined with leopard without fear of looking vulgar. A spotted skirt is appropriate for work, school, or just for a walk.
General rules
Leopard print goes perfectly with all shades of beige.The main rule is that if the print is a warm shade, then the beige should be warm; if the leopard skirt is made in cool colors, this print looks less natural - choose cool shades of beige. The pattern goes well with these colors:
- beige, sand;
- olive, marsh, khaki;
- black
- grey.
IMPORTANT! These colors are versatile and discreet. They can be easily combined with leopard print and look stylish rather than provocative. Of course there are other, bolder shades.
Separately, it is worth noting the combination of leopard with other prints. The opinion that it is impossible to combine 2 prints in one look is a thing of the past - today everything is possible. Among the current prints, leopard looks good with polka dots and flowers. Just remember - the peas should be approximately the same size as the leopard's spots, and the distance between the peas should match the distance of the spots. This also applies to floral print, and it’s called things in the same rhythm.
IMPORTANT! When combining leopard print with polka dots or flowers, choose items in the same rhythm with spots.
Opt for a low-key top half as much as possible. To avoid looking provocative, do not combine a leopard print skirt with a deep neckline and thin straps.
The length and cut of the skirt can be different, but not too short. Leopard looks good in knee-length and midi length. Suitable cut - A-line, pencil, sun.
Selecting the top
Depending on the situation, a leopard print skirt can be the basis for an elegant or daring look:
- for an evening look - complement the skirt with a black loose-fitting blouse and black shoes. It is better if the shoes are leather or suede - patent leather is not appropriate;
- For studying, wear a voluminous beige sweatshirt. The sleeves can be pulled up a little;
- For a walk with friends, combine a black short-sleeved crop top, a high-waisted skirt just above the knee and black and white sneakers. Instead of a handbag, you can take a brown leather backpack with you;
ADVICE! A loose gray T-shirt with a bright print on the front will look stylish. This combination will give the leopard a casual look, and the look will be complemented by gray boots with chunky heels.
- A black turtleneck or long-sleeved blouse is suitable for work. A plain white T-shirt with elbow-length sleeves looks stylish and discreet. In this case, take a skirt with a high waist and length to the knees or below.
Tights
A leopard skirt is strict in terms of tights - classic nude, beige and black tights are appropriate. Density may vary depending on the weather.
In some cases, you can choose gray or dark purple tights of medium and high density.
ADVICE! Gray tights can be 40 denier or higher, but with purple ones it’s important not to go wrong - it’s better if the legs are not visible.
Shoes and accessories
It is important not to overdo it with accessories. Animal print already attracts attention. Neat pendants, black leather belts, brown, beige or black medium-sized bags would be appropriate. In some situations, a leather backpack combined with sneakers will look good.
For a business style, classic pumps in black or beige are suitable. For a walk, you can wear sandals with several straps. The color is still the same. In the cool season, ankle boots and ankle boots will be appropriate.
IMPORTANT! We present universal shoe colors. But if the situation and your character allow it, feel free to wear red shoes or golden sandals.
Leopard print can and should be worn in everyday life.Don’t be afraid of this color – following modern trends and our advice, you can easily create a bright and current image.
