Leopard Print: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

I was inspired to write a post about leopard prints after I saw this photo of Rachel Bilson looking gorgeous in a Roberto Cavalli dress:

The lovely Rachel Bilson.

Now I personally love leopard prints, but I know a lot of people think that leopard prints = tacky!

This doesn't have to be the case, here are a few tips to make sure you look more trendy than tacky!

• DO team leopard print accessories with classic fashion basics such as demin and classic LBD's.
• DON'T team leopard print with too many colours - Black is always best, but red and white can sometimes work as well.
• DO Wear leopard print in high quality fabrics - No velvet or spandex please!! :)
• DON'T wear anything too sexy - animal prints already have a seductiveness about them, so anything too over the top can make you look trashy.
• DO Keep the silhouette on the classic side when wearing a leopard print dress. 
• DON'T pair more than one leopard piece with an ensemble - It should be a statement piece and the rest of the outfit kept simple.
• DO try the print in other colours.
