Wearing leopard print can be a daunting and bold feat. It’s a statement pattern that will definitely turn heads on the street, but there’s no need to shy away from wearing the print! Every woman should try to have one article of clothing with leopard print in their closet, whether as a dress or even on an accessory. The trick is to style it right. Sian shows us how:

Leopard print can be overwhelming if not styled properly. When I saw this dress on ASOS a couple of weeks ago, I thought it was the perfect subtle leopard print, and the midi length of the dress – perfection (it also looks almost exactly like a Saint Laurent dress that is $2490!). Most sizes sold out insanely fast (there’s still smaller sizes left – linked below). I love that it can be dressed up for going out like I did below or with a blazer/cardi for work. I paired this with my favorite leather DKNY moto jacket, Nine West heels and a Limited belt with gold details. (I still can’t believe The Limited is closed!!)
If an all-over leopard print is too much for your style, you can always incorporate it subtly into your wardrobe for a little pop of print in a bag, shoe or top.
