Leopard has a reputation for being a little wild, which is exactly why I love dressing it up in more ladylike ways. Left to its own devices, the print can lean toward a late night out, but paired with the right pieces, it feels just as at home over a long lunch. The trick is balancing all that boldness with something decidedly polished. A leopard skirt cut in a classic pencil silhouette or a cashmere sweater draped over the shoulders brings a sense of refinement to a print that’s known for being anything but reserved.

Accessories are where I have the most fun with it. A strand of pearls instantly gives leopard a more feminine feel, and a leopard bag carried with a twill jacket is one foolproof formula to wear the print during the day. It’s the contrast that makes it work, something a little untamed alongside pieces that feel prim and proper, so the whole look comes across as put-together rather than loud.
