Style tips: If you're new to this look, add just a touch of leopard with accessories. Wear this print in a narrow belt or handbag to subtly draw attention to your waist, or a relaxed scarf, to draw the eye up to your face.
A leopard print coat is a brilliant investment, and one that will be current for many seasons's to come. Dress it up with a classic black shift and heels or down with a grey-marl T-shirt, jeans and sneakers.
Leopard shoes work for the office or a night out, think lizard, tiger or leopard print in an ankle boot, heel or moccasin flat.
Break up a bold printed dress or pants with classic black. Layer a belt, long-line cardigan or biker jacket to break up all that print.
