Wearing animal print fashions can really make a bold statement. In and out of the fashion world for centuries now, animal prints like the most-popular leopard print can be classy and elegant or a big mistake. Follow the tips below for wearing animal prints.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Wear animal prints in classic, conservative lines. A tasteful trench style dress, a simple blouse or a knee-length straight skirt can look very elegant.

  2. Step 2

    Avoid wearing clothing that is too revealing. Short skirts, hotpants, tight pants, or a low-cut top will not look good in animal print.

  3. Step 3

    Wear minimal accessories with animal prints. Because the prints are so busy, accessories fight visually with the pattern. Opt for a simple accessory like a black pair of simple shoes or a simple black belt around a dress. Wear minimal jewelry.

  4. Step 4

    Mix and match the animal print with solid, basic colors only. Black seems to work the best. Dark denim, white, or even a splash of red may look good with animal prints also.

  5. Step 5

    Flatter your figure when wearing animal prints. All over prints look best on very fit figures. Use this to your advantage by drawing attention away from flawed areas with wild prints. Put an animal print belt around a tiny waist, or tie an animal print scarf above some great cleavage. Show off a sexy top half while hiding a large rear or hips by pairing an animal print blouse with a black skirt.

  6. Step 6

    Remember that a little goes a long way. Because animal prints are such a bold choice, consider using just an accessory such as a snake-print handbag, leopard print shoes or a scarf.
