Look at JLo, for example, can you be cooler than her? The singer plants a tight leopard dress and lets it be the absolute protagonist of her look by accompanying it with black salons. Wearing your hair in a high bun also adds sophistication to the look.

But let's be practical, one of the easiest ways to wear this print is in the form of a coat, as Rosie Huntington does very often. Here she combines it with leather pants, another of the star fabrics of the Autumn / Winter 2018-2019 season.

Jeans have the great advantage that they go with everything so, when in doubt about how to combine your leopard garments, turn to them.
Is the total look an option?
Is the total look an option?
You see that yes, but it is not worth putting on several patterned garments without more. Look at how they take it here. The pants and the maxi-jacket are exactly the same but the rest of the clothes and accessories are left in white. Everything is a question of balance.

Again, white proves to be a better ally for this print than we thought. Alexa Chung, a fan of animal print, wears her coat with a shirt dress in this color and triumphs in style.

Its most obvious ally is the color black. With a single leopard print garment and leaving the rest of the look in total black, we will have a 100% winning bet.

Red is another of the leopard's traditional allies. We loved the idea of wearing a coat with this print with red Converse . All a success.
Nude

Nude is another one of those colors that can be mixed with all the others without fear. In this case, it is used as a counterpoint to the strong contrast created by the black sweater and the red boots.

Do you need more possibilities? You already know that the denim fabric goes well with everything so the leopard was not going to be an exception. In this look it is also mixed with white, gray and red. They are all basic colors except the last one, so it works pretty well too.

Or these others. As you can see, the idea of wearing patterned jeans, sweater and shoes is just as valid whether you like to wear heels or if you prefer to step flat.

You also have the option of wearing it in other accessories that are not shoes, such as this beautiful scarf by Claudia Schiffer. Ideal to wear over coats and dresses.

All decades can become the best allies for leopard print that can be very elegant, as Clara Paget shows. She wears her 60's flared sleeve mini dress with over the knee boots , a winning look.

Shailene Woodley combines her leopard dress with a more modern result thanks to her black mid-calf boots. As you can see, when choosing a shoe that does not stand out too much, it is better to stick to the classic black. You will be right for sure.

Jennifer Laurence reproduces the glamor of rock stars with this look composed of buckled ankle boots and ripped jeans. It is a very good way to rejuvenate this pattern that is sometimes associated with older women.

You can also resort to the Leopard print during this Autumn / Winter 2018-2019 season to go out at night. Join the trend of dresses with sequins that reproduce the mythical pattern and wear it with black tights and platform sandals in the purest Margot Robbie style.

The more bohemian style can also resort to the star print of the season. It is enough to choose flowing and long clothes, like this skirt, and combine them with other hippy-inspired ones.
If when someone mentions the leopard print you get chills and you can only think of the impossible combinations of Janice, Chandler's heaviest girlfriend in Friends , don't worry. Their total looks are not the only way you can add this pattern to your wardrobe. All you have to do is look at bloggers and celebrities and forget poor Janice and her mythical "Oh my God."
How to wear leopard print
- With white. It is one of the least seen combinations but it is undoubtedly the most elegant. We love how a pair of trousers in this print look with a white shirt and matching shoes or a fur coat over a delicate shirt dress .
- With black. It is the most classic and helpful combination of all. It looks good with both pants and skirts. The key so that it is not too flashy is to opt for total black with the exception of the light leopard garment. This way we avoid distractions, although it is not a bad idea to drop a complement in another tone.
- Red . Another of the typical allies of the leopard is the color red. The combination is more striking and care must be taken so that it is not vulgar. In this case, more than the color depends on the type of accessories we choose. It is best to stick with those of minimalist inspiration for a cleaner and more careful look.
- Other colors. There are those who dare to mix the leopard print with other shades such as orange, pink, yellow … green and gray are also good options. The metallics, especially the gold, go quite well and of course, the nude, another neutral tone.
- In your accessories. One of the most discreet ways to introduce this print in your outfits is to wear it only in accessories. Some shoes, a scarf, or a purse are a good place to start.
