The leopard print has a long history in recent decades. At first he was in fashion, then began to be considered a sign of bad taste. But in the past few years, he again burst into all the fashion catwalks, winning the place of one of the main trends.
Models
Leopard print is a very bright detail that attracts attention from afar. Therefore, the styles of such coats are often concise, without unnecessary elements.
The style can be different, both classic and ordinary oversized for every day. Although a similar print with a variable frequency is found practically on all possible models, on some it appears most often.
For starters, these are classic trench coats, fitted and straight coats of medium length. Products with large collars look most effective, especially if they differ in texture.
A short (to mid-thigh) or elongated (just below the hips) straight jacket coat is another common option. Models of this length with such a vivid print look the most harmonious, do not irritate the eye due to the fact that the image is diluted with other visible clothing and companion things.
There are spotty maxi coats, but this is rare. However, it is so long now in fashion, and if you really want a coat on the floor, but with leopard spots, then you should try to wear it wide open or with plain colors.
If you want to move away from strict lines, then you should look for an oversized coat, as they are widely represented in popular colors. Such a style most often has long and wide sleeves, large collars, voluminous silhouettes.
Since the leopard is one of the most fashionable prints this season, it is present on models and with other trending elements. For example, turn-down collars, fur collars, shortened sleeves, and sometimes they are not at all.A variety of models allows you to find the perfect thing to your liking.
Types of Leopard Prints
Two categories can be distinguished by which the leopard print can vary. The first is the color, the second is the shape and saturation of the pattern.
The most classic and widely used colors are a combination of golden, beige with black-brown spots.
But the season brought fashion to the most unusual shades, even for such a color. For example, you can find fur coats of violet color with black spots or the whole product can be made in turquoise shades. There is another option: the spots themselves on the classic coat differ in color. In the black or brown contour, instead of golden spots, there may be violet, green, blue, beige.
As for the form, it is mainly a classic spot about the size of a large button. Less commonly, spots are smaller or, conversely, larger (the size of a bottle of varnish). Basically, spots are pressed tightly together to create a single pattern, but a small distance between them is also allowed.
What to wear?
To begin with, it’s worth remembering a few simple rules about creating images with a leopard coat. Since this is a very active coloring, it is best if it is presented in a single version, in this case, only on the coat. You can not combine a leopard with other, not only animalistic, ornaments, for example, floral and geometric. It is best if the clothes, shoes and accessories are plain.
Coats in leopard spots look interesting in combination with leather, silk, wool, velvet fabric. The best colors to combine with a classic leopard are black, brown and its light and dark shades.
To create a simple casual look, you should wear a coat with tight blue or blue jeans, a denim miniskirt, shorts. Under a medium-length coat, you can safely wear a pencil skirt and dresses. If the coat has a straight cut, then the hem of the skirt or dress should be straight or tight. Flared items can be used when the coat expands downward. To top it off, you can pick up a silk blouse or a cotton sweatshirt, shirt, sweater, tunic.
An elegant evening look will be created using a black dress, a silk shirt and trousers. No less luxurious leopard print looks with white and red clothes. This combination will turn out bright and attractive.
As for shoes and accessories, here, as with clothes, it is better to keep it simple so as not to interrupt the emphasis of the eye-catching print.
Depending on the length and style of the coat, you can choose long boots and over the knee boots, stilettos, ankle boots, platform shoes. The bag is selected depending on the situation, it can be either an ordinary shopper or an elegant clutch, but there should not be large decorative details on it. If in doubt, you should know that the most universal color for combining with a leopard is black.
Spectacular images
Solid denim goes well with a vibrant leopard print. A shirt and jeans should choose two different, but restrained colors, break their combination with a belt. You can complement the look with a light bag and dark shoes.
Another good look for every day: a gray sweatshirt with a white shirt underneath, black leather leggings. If the volume of the coat allows, you can wear a jacket. To top it off with a black hat, bag and, attention, sneakers! Of course, such shoes are not suitable for all styles of coats, you should choose simple casual models.
