Well, let’s be honest…most of us do not need a thing. But truth be told, we all like to buy that one MUST HAVE trend every season. However, this item is not only a trend this fall, but a staple that remains timeless and classic and every woman should have a touch of this in her wardrobe.

There are so many ways to incorporate ANIMAL print into your wardrobe and there are so many beautiful items being shown during this pre-fall season. Before we know it, we will be feeling some cooler crisp days, but don’t wait until those cool days to start wearing this transitional print.  Leopard print is by far the most popular of the animal prints and the one print you will be seeing everywhere!  Leopard is the perfect color to wear when its still warm outside in September and October and you want to start dressing for fall.  I consider it a neutral and pair leopard with black, brown, navy, red and even pink.  Every store you walk in to has leopard blouses, shoes, jackets, clutches and belts on display.  I have had animal print items in my closet for as long as I can remember…it really never goes out of style.

I’m wearing this W by Worth leopard blouse from the Fall 2018 collection.  At $228, I think it is a steal.  I love that it’s sleeveless and perfect for our warmer climate.   I also love these blouses by Frame Joie and Alice & Olivia.   These black Frame jeans I picked up at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and they are still fully stocked. I love the zipper detail at the front and have linked them here.

There are so many beautiful leopard shoes and clutches to add just a touch of this beautiful print to your closet.  I’m loving these cheetah booties by Rag & Bone. I also love these pumps and these mules. These sandals would be perfect for fall transition.   For the very daring, how about going ‘wild’ with a leopard bomber jacket. This one I am dying over because it is reversible to a gorgeous floral print.  This jacket is also the BOMB in a faux fur! This blazer by Frame is gorgeous!  I’m grabbing this duster asap!  It is just so different. Here is a darling sweater that looks so cozy.  This clutch would be perfect to add just a hint of leopard to any look.

My last bit of advice… If you are wearing any kind of animal print, remember, less is more and do not attempt to match an animal print shoe to your animal print blouse or handbag.  Please wear one or the other…remember, this print doesn’t meow, it ROARS!
