When you are thinking of updating your wardrobe and want to find the best pieces, consider going with the latest trend in men’s fashion: the leopard print. This trend has been featured in Men’s Fashion Weekly for years and has continued to be a top choice among fashion conscious men everywhere. With that being said, leopard shoes have always been one of top ways to incorporate this sophisticated yet bold fashion into an ensemble.
It all started in the 80s in South Africa when runway star Larry Young made the decision to incorporate animal prints into his dance moves. The leopard prints soon became a mainstay in other African style shows and from there the trend took off to the world. Leopards soon began appearing in print ensembles including tank tops, sweatshirts, jeans and jackets. Animal print continues to be a top choice for designers to incorporate into their lines and with these pieces, you can now find an appropriate pair for virtually any wardrobe.
One of the most important things to keep in mind when choosing leopard print for your wardrobe is the fact that it is flattering to any figure. If you are a pear shaped woman, wearing leopard print will flatter your shape, providing a nice balance between being too much or too little. Similarly, a man who is on the small side should consider a pair of leopard print that are tailored to his frame. They will not overpower the man and make him seem like a football player, but they will help minimize the figure and bring out the good qualities.
One of the most common styles of leopard print shoes is the cropped variety. This is perfect if you are looking for a very subtle look, but will still offer you that great appeal that many styles have. Because the legs of these shoes are narrow, you don’t have to worry about them being too baggy on your legs; they will hug your calves and thighs comfortably. You can even wear these with dress pants to create that slightly offbeat look. If you have a bit more of a curves in your legs, on the other hand, you can go ahead and choose a style with a higher cut.
If you already own a great looking leopard print outfit, one that has style and appeal, you can certainly wear this to look fabulous at the office or to a night out with friends. Just like any piece of clothing, you will need to pick a few accessories to dress up this basic piece of clothing. For instance, some great options include wearing bold bracelet designs or a wide scarf. As with any animal print, you might also consider wearing some complimentary accessories to complete your outfit. For instance, you could wear simple green bracelets to go with your leopard print pants, or a simple zebra print scarf to match your overall look.
If you would like to add a little something extra to your style leopard print pants, try wearing a large, oversized blouse underneath. Remember, this is a classic style, so it doesn’t matter if you have on black denim, gray, or white pants – you will still be able to pull off this look. For example, you can wear a cropped jacket, an oversized blouse, and either a pair of black skinny jeans, or a plain black blouse and pair of jean.
When you are choosing your shoes, remember that your flat feet can work well with a variety of styles. For example, if you have wide feet, you can wear platforms or sandals to go with your leopard print tops and bottoms. On the other hand, if you have smaller feet, you can opt for more fitted cuts and heeled boots. Another great option is to pair your boots with a fitted cardigan, which will give you the finishing touches needed to complete your ensemble. One other thing that you may want to consider is whether you would prefer shoes to be platform or closed toes. Both of these choices will create the illusion of height, which is exactly what we are going for with this look.
Finally, one last thing to keep in mind about how to wear leopard print pieces is that they are best worn with simple tops and flat shoes. The main reason behind this is that this type of clothing is not complicated. Therefore, you can get away with wearing them with just about anything. However, if you choose to wear leopard print dresses with more complicated pieces, like sandals or wedges, you will want to go with something a bit more structured, like a pair of stiletto boots. This is the perfect way to wear the neutral tones without looking too “busy.”
