Leopard print coat
Leopard print has a long history in recent decades. At first it was in vogue, then it began to be considered a sign of bad taste. But in the past few years, he again burst onto all the fashion catwalks, winning the place of one of the main trends.
Models
Leopard print is a very striking detail that attracts attention from afar. Therefore, the styles of such coats are most often laconic, without unnecessary elements.
The style can be different, both classic and ordinary oversized for every day. Although this variable frequency print is found on almost all possible models, it appears most often on some.
For starters, these are classic trench coats, fitted and straight medium-length coats. Products with large collars look most effective, especially if they differ in texture.
A short (mid-thigh) or elongated (just below the hips) straight jacket coat is another common option. Models of this length with such a bright print look the most harmonious, they do not irritate the eye due to the fact that the image is diluted with other visible clothing and companion items.
There are also spotted maxi coats, but this is rare. However, such a length is now in vogue, and if you really want a floor-length coat, but with leopard spots, then you should try to wear it wide open or with plain clothes.
If you want to move away from strict lines, then you should look for an oversized coat, as they are widely represented in popular colors. This style most often has long and wide sleeves, large collars, voluminous silhouettes.
Since the leopard is one of the most fashionable prints this season, it is also present on models with other trendy elements. For example, turn-down collars, fur collars, cropped sleeves, and sometimes none at all.A variety of models allows you to find the perfect thing to your liking.
Types of leopard prints
There are two categories in which leopard prints can be distinguished. The first is the color, the second is the shape and saturation of the pattern.
The most classic and widely used colors are a combination of golden, beige with black-brown spots.
But the season brought fashion for the most unusual shades, even for this color. For example, you can find fur coats in purple with black spots, or the whole product can be kept in turquoise shades. There is another option: the spots themselves on the coat of the classic color differ in color. In a black or brown outline, instead of golden spots, there can be purple, green, blue, beige.
As for the shape, it is predominantly classic spots about the size of a large button. Less often there are spots that are smaller or, conversely, large (the size of a bottle of varnish). Basically, the spots are pressed tightly to each other to create a single pattern, but a small distance between them is also allowed.
What to wear with?
To begin with, it is worth remembering a few simple rules about composing images with a leopard coat. Since this is a very active color, it is best if it is presented in a single version, in this case, only on a coat. You can not combine the leopard with other, not only animalistic, ornaments, for example, with floral and geometric. It is best if clothes, shoes and accessories are solid colors.
Leopard-spotted coats look interesting in combination with leather, silk, woolen, velvet fabrics. The best colors to combine with the classic leopard are black, brown and its light and dark shades.
To create a simple casual look, you should wear a coat with tight-fitting blue or blue jeans, a denim mini-skirt, and shorts. Under a coat of medium length, you can safely wear a pencil skirt, dresses. If the coat has a straight cut, then the hem of the skirt or dress should be straight or tight. Flared things can be used when the coat expands downward. To top it off, you can pick up a silk blouse or cotton sweatshirt, shirt, sweater, tunic.
You can create an elegant evening look with a black dress, silk shirt and trousers. Leopard print looks no less luxurious with white and red clothes. This combination will turn out to be bright and attractive.
As for shoes and accessories, here, as with clothes, it is better to stick to simplicity so as not to interrupt the accent of the prominent print.
Depending on the length and style of the coat, you can choose long boots and boots, stiletto heels, ankle boots, platform boots. The bag is chosen depending on the situation, it can be either an ordinary shopper or an elegant clutch, but it should not have large decorative details. If in doubt, you should know that the most versatile color for a combination with a leopard is black.
