mix em' & match 'em: leopard

The commandments of Leopard prints include but are not limited to...

1. Get your NEON on!  Many stylist are viewing Leopard as more of a neutral, so feel free to pair this print with a pop of neon!  Personally I love seeing Leopard with a shocking fuchsia, hilighter yellow or a bright cobalt blue.
2. When it comes to pairing a second print with Leopard look to a classic (mock) print or weave.  Herringbone, which is normally a weave that looks like a print provides a good balance to the abstract animal print.

Other possible print partners include Chevron, a Stripe variation or even a petite Floral(Calico).  Feel free to mix things up a bold Leopard with Color Blocking to create a 1940's Hollywood vibe.


These prints were created in Adobe Illustrator by me, Sarah Katherine Ormsby.

Above all else, have fun with this sassy print.  Please comment your favorite print combinations with Leopard or if you would like me to do a specific Print Guide!
