I think one of the oldest, and most timeless, trends to exist (besides the classic polka dots and stripes), is probably animal print. What’s more recent, perhaps, is the numerous ways that it can be worn! I think I own animal print in just about every possible article of clothing-tops, shorts, clutches, even a leopard print headband! And to take it to even another level, depending on how you wear each of these pieces, the outfit can be made appropriate for any occasion! We paired up with the fashionable Andrea, creator of the blog, Month of Diamonds, to put together a few different ways to style leopard print in a way that is classy and perfect for a girl’s night! Check out how this lovely lady put her diamond-worthy look together, and be sure to visit her blog at monthofdiamonds.com!
I love Andrea’s adorable leopard print peplum top! She paired it with a classically trendy combination: boyfriend jeans and heels. And what’s more perfect and flirty than leopard print and red, strappy heels?! The neutrals in her necklace and black blazer make for a fun day OR night out with the ladies! Plus, how fabulous is her hair???
I had a hard time deciding between my dozens of animal prints, and almost skipped over my leopard print top, thinking it was too obvious. But, pairing it with a hot pink blazer, coated black pants, and high leather booties adds a healthy dose of classy edge. I love how fun the combination of a bright pop of color and a glitzy necklace paired with the animal print is! It’s so girly, but grown up with the heels.
Take off the blazer for a cooler, more casual look! It’s that easy!
