When I think of leopard print, I think of Carmen Miranda, Barbara Streisand and Shania Twain...three babes from back in the day, known for rocking this classic print, amazingly well. Most of us have owned something covered in leopard print, it's a timeless print after all and it resurfaces time and time again on the catwalks.
Hands up if you're like me though and you used to be obsessed with it but you've not worn it in ages? Back in the day, I had leopard print dresses, bags, boots and stationary and it felt like a really 'Danie' print. I think I over did it though and I stopped wearing it after a while. I felt like I was becoming too dependant on a leopard print/black/gold wardrobe - it was time to move on.
Fast forward to SS17 and I keep noticing the print once more. My eye keeps being drawn to tonnes of wardrobe staples, covered in the sassy print and when I saw this maxi skirt...well, I had to have it!
If you need a gentle push into incorporating leopard print back into your wardrobe; here's an edit of my current fave leopard pieces.

Style Tips
1) Leopard print is one of THE BEST prints to use if you are interested in mixing your prints! Really go for it and wear leopard print and florals or even classic stripes.
2) Mix and match the scale of your leopard print - Wear the same print but in different scales/colourways.
3) Too nervous to try a leopard print garment; dip your toe into the trend and try a bag or pair of shoes.
