Go Wild for Winter

I loved seeing this recent phot of Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud, wearing the latest leopard print fashion.

If you didn't already know it, the hottest new fashion trend is leopard print. Now whether this thrills you or worries you, then there are a few things that you need to consider. Animal prints when worn in the right way can look fabulous, but beware of the pitfalls. Here are Natalia's top tips for wearing them this autumn/winter season.

Less is more
Wear leopard, and any other animal print for that matter, sparingly. I would ideally go for a ratio of no more than 30% leopard. Wear black, brown or beige to dampen down the leopard print and cancel out the Bet Lynch/Cruella DeVille factor.



Anyone can wear leopard print
Even if you think leopard print just isn't you or you simply can't wear it to work then don't despair. A splash of leopard can be added with a pair of neat little pumps (see the gorgeous ones below £30 from www.asos.com), a slimline leopard print belt or even just in the lining of a bag or purse.

Leopard print brings pleasure!
According to fashion feng shui, leopard print represents fire energy and attracts pleasure into our lives. So if you want to have more fun, look no further than a splash of leopard and pep up your winter wardrobe into the bargain!
