Leopard is the hottest animal print for fall - it is EVERYWHERE.

As with any trend, there are varying degrees that you can take it to. Your decision depends on what you’re comfortable in.

(See “Spots, Stripes and Tznius: Animal Prints and Modesty”)

You can tiptoe into leopard with a belt or shoes or dive right in with an all-over print. What’s your “Level of Leopard?”

                                         Level #1 - Cub

This “Cub” level ensemble is the sweet and inconspicuous way to wear the feline print. The heart-shaped leopard print pendant and leopard flats are tasteful and add visual interest and spunk.

                                     Level #2 - Leopardess

The “Leopardess” level is a more intense take on the trend. This sweater is full-on leopard, but balanced by a plum pencil skirt and chunky black boots. (I could not resist adding the socks; click here for some more sock ispirations!)

                                 Level #3 - Leader of the Pack

This dress is unapologetically leopard. It’s a beautiful dress and can look very classy when accessorized gracefully. Any further animal print accessories would be, well… overkill.

Which level would you wear? Do you think any of the outfits are just too “wild”?
