How to Accessorize With Leopard Print Shoes and Accessories

The ultimate cure for fashion boredom is animal print accessories. After you have built a core of basics for your professional wardrobe, it is time to get some "out of the ordinary" pieces that suit your individual fashion personality. You can wear leopard print accessories with business attire, if you match it up the right way, so that it forms a complete impression.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• leopard print shoes
• business suit
• brown top
• black slacks
• leopard print purse or shawl

1. 
    

   Always start with the leopard print item - shoes, purse, belt or shawl. Get that first. Always start with the leopard print item.

2. Then get the top. Bring the leopard print shoes or purse with you to the mall and hold it up to tops in various shades of brown. Pick a top in one of the brown shades from the leopard spots. (It's much harder to first get a brown top, and then try to find leopard shoes with that shade of brown.)

3. Then get black slacks. That is the easy part. Or use the pants from a black business suit.

   When you look at an outfit with leopard accessories, they are what strike you the most. However, it's the fact that the rest of the colors of the clothes are matched up to the same tones that are in the leopard spots, that give the outfit a classy impression - an impression of completeness. If the outfit looks kind of "loud" then those tones aren't matched up right.

   When you wear several animal print accessories at the same time, limit them to 2 or 3. Otherwise you may look like you escaped from the zoo.
