Leopard Skin - tacky or classy?

We have been having a debate in the office about whether we think Leopard print is classy or down right tacky? and we have come to the conclusion that it depends on who wears it and how you wear it. I personally think that leopard print should be used very carefully and conservatively. Leopard print should be subtle like on a belt to finish off an outfit or a bag to compliment an outfit or a nice pair of leopard print suede shoes (not PVC or plastic as that can look very tacky)

Also if you see a style icon like Victoria Beckham wearing a leopard print dress you are more inclined to think it looks nice especially if it is a classy shift or a floaty dress but if you are to see a chavy lady in tesco wearing a leopard print top finished off with shed loads of gold jewellery and her hair scraped into a tight pony tail on the top of her head you will probably think it looks extremely tacky and would ver away from it as much as possible.

In conclusion, leopard print needs to be worn with careful thought and execution to ensure it looks classy and sophisticated not tacky and cheap. Keep it to finishing touches like a handbag, belt or shoes for maximum impact but minimum fuss!

Happy shopping : )
