Leopard print: how to look elegant

This fall, as last, as, however, before last, I terribly wanted to buy a leopard dress. While working in the magazine, I noticed that every season we somehow wrote about the same thing. In the cold season - velvet, tartan, leopard; in warm - pastel, flowers, lace. But it was convenient in its own way to have at least one of the above tendencies, because they remained true friends for many years. This is what led to the fact that I was incredibly long time choosing a dress with a leopard print, trying not to get lost in the jungle of things with African motifs. I wanted to find a really elegant model that would not annoy me in a couple of months, but on the contrary, I would take a place among the dresses that you put on in those days when you want to be a little brighter and more elegant than usual.

I opted for a model of thin silk, with a lining, elastic waist and an American armhole. The tie on the neck allowed to play with it - to leave a long flying ribbon behind your back or turn it into a bow. The classic combination of leopard print with red color was quite possible to get around. Without a bright accent, this outfit looked quite self-sufficient. Behind the scenes, I liked to wear neutral black or beige accessories and barely noticeable jewelry.

I was guaranteed a confident walk with black sandals with high, steady heels. Having tried on such a model for the first time, I appreciated the convenience and, to complete this image, I chose glasses with dark glasses in a frame with clear straight lines. It was the geometric shapes and primary colors of the accessories that balanced the colorful patterns on the clothes.
