How to Wear Leopard Print
Leopard print is in style this season, but not every girl knows how to properly incorporate leopard into their wardrobe.
The most common problem when it comes to wearing leopard is over doing it! Remember, less is more.
CBS Style Contributor Katrina Szish teaches us how to wear leopard print while staying in vogue.
Elegant Leopard Print: Not all leopard prints are created equal and it’s easy to go overboard, no matter what your age. Smaller prints and darker shades can up the elegance factor instantly.

Leopard Print Coat: In order to make the coat pop you need to stick to a muted or single tone underneath. You can, however, mix and match prints. It won’t take away from the coat and creates a point of interest. This is also the type of look that works for both day and night.

Leopard Print at Work: When wearing leopard print in the workplace, make sure you tone it down. Keep accents simple and subtle so they don’t overpower your office mates. When wearing leopard at work remember: keep leopard tame, not wild! Stay away from patterns, embellishments or complicated details.

Leopard Cocktail Dress: Don’t go over the top. Leopard print is loud and seductive on its own so choose a sleek, modern silhouette to compliment your curves without showing off too much skin. Keep accessories simple and let the dress stand out. The rest of the look should enhance, rather than compete with the dress.
