I usually like for there to be two matching leopard print pieces. For example, Belt &amp; shoes, purse &amp; hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1345265 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 15:23:29 +0000 maisyphk 1345265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty tame... I'd stick with just one leopard item at a time. However, if it's a narrower belt, I think that would be okay with leopard shoes as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1345188 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:52:53 +0000 Laura 1345188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leopard print handbags look really neat but they are definitely a statement piece. I see what others are saying about how you only want one statement piece on an outfit as opposed to three or four. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1345180 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:40:41 +0000 crutcher 1345180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just one at a time, please...The leopard skirt is the perfect statement alone with a denim shirt and heels...don't add the leopard belt, flats or heels or wedges...Subtlety is definitely the key here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1345114 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 12:04:08 +0000 viva 1345114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love JAileen's pictures!!! :)</p> <p>I'm with the majority here. Definitely one, probably two, especially if the two are different scales / colors. And I love the belt, Ummlila. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344978 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 02:52:18 +0000 thimblelina 1344978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leopard is sort of a gateway drug, no? You get a little, you get a little more... You see it paired with lace and stripes and plaid and whatnot... And then one day some transgressive part deep inside all of us wants to experience a lil leopard on leopard action. Kinda like denim on denim. And it can work; but be careful! I think tonality and scale really matters. I think belt and shoes would be fine if they don't look like two cats chasing each other around a room. I have mini leopard print shoes (kind of a stylized dot) and a scarf that coordinates beautifully. I've been known to tool around in both at once and no one asked me when the circus arrived in town! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344626 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:08:27 +0000 JAileen 1344626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One. If the items were small, then maybe two. Otherwise it looks clownish. Which if you like that look the, okay, you like it. I found these pictures from Advanced Style. I think they're way over the top: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344537 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 15:29:09 +0000 rute 1344537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer to wear just a item at a time, but it's a personal thing.&nbsp;I like Neel and Suz suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344529 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 15:20:25 +0000 Deb 1344529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on how you are wearing leopard. I think one item of clothing looks good, but two would not. Two accessories can look good , as long as they are not right next to each other, and in small doses. Three is overkill to my eye.<br /> By the by, I really like the blouse you posted above Laura....very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344517 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 14:54:34 +0000 Anonymous 1344517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial response was "only one please" &nbsp;- but I see how Neel and Suz have done it and it works. &nbsp;My eye would object to outright matching though - that is too dated. &nbsp;I'd pick two patterns in different colours (the trad caramel/black and one black/white and keep the dots/spots similarly sized). &nbsp;If the animal print has three colours - I'd keep to one piece at a time.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344511 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 14:45:47 +0000 Suz 1344511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ummlila!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344410 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 10:18:52 +0000 Neel 1344410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost always do leopard shoes AND handbag!

That is how much I love it! It is a great accessory for someone with our hair colour. It creates cohesion in many outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>I usually wear it as my only leopard piece but I have been known to pair it with leopard print wedge pumps. And I felt like it worked. Usually the rest of the outfit is really simple, but once I wore both pumps and belt&nbsp;with a floral jacket, white on white jacquard shell and jeans. ALGO for relatively minimalist&nbsp;me, yet I felt absolutely&nbsp;fine.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344257 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 02:33:48 +0000 bj1111 1344257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say, i have a poison eye for this particular animal pattern. So for me, none.</p> <p>Now, reptile is a whole 'nuther story.

I'm carefully watching the other answers as I was thinking the same thing as well with my latest outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344195 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 01:32:59 +0000 Jules 1344195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I tend to agree with MaryK, as with any pattern mixing really, it's better if the patterns are a different scale. Slightly different patterns can just look off (although honestly, I think a low contrast animal print can work as a neutral - so two different tonal animal prints might work together well).<br /> Basically, experiment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344194 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 01:29:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1344194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Between you and Angie I'm definitely going to try one of these! Maybe on a white out look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344192 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 01:27:10 +0000 Staysfit 1344192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great question Ummlila. I don't have much to add, but you have actually helped me because I have been wondering the same thing. I like to mix my leopard items with colors like green, warm blue and purple. If I'm feeling low contrast, I pull out the camel, brown, and Ivory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344176 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 01:16:19 +0000 MsMary 1344176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/08/28/the-classics-and-a-boyfriend/" rel="nofollow">Here's</a> an awesome example of Angie wearing a leopard belt and leopard shoes and looking divine.&nbsp; I have also done belt and shoes, or belt and bag.&nbsp; I feel like leopard shoes plus leopard bag is probably too much, although I daresay I've probably done it before.</p> <p>But YMMV -- it all depends on the specific items and how you put them together.</p> <p>Oh, and I feel like it's a plus if the leopards don't match (as in Angie's outfit -- big leopard on the belt, small leopard on the shoes). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344164 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 01:04:44 +0000 Style Fan 1344164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love leopard and I think that belt is FAB.&nbsp; I personally would only wear one leopard item at a time.&nbsp; I think it makes a statement and looks very FAB that way.&nbsp; I have a leopard shirt and skirt.&nbsp; I have a brown giraffe skirt.&nbsp; I have a brown something tunic.&nbsp; Some other animal clutch.</p> <p>I have seen women wear more than one item of animal print at a time and look great.&nbsp; It works for some people.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344145 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 00:41:00 +0000 Anonymous 1344145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would only wear one leopard item at a time but have worn leopard with snake or croc textured leather.

So if I wear my belt, then I pair it with black or gold or bronze or brown or cream or red&nbsp;shoes/bag.</p> <p>If I wear my leopard clutch, then I wear a different belt and bag&nbsp;-- black, white, red, brown, cognac, pink&nbsp;work great.</p> <p>Similarly if I wear leopard on my feet, then belt and bag are not leopard.</p> <p>That said &amp; come to think of it, one could possibly do a "matchy matchy" thing with two leopard accessories at once, but I should think you'd want to keep the rest of the outfit completely monochromatic and patternless. Hmm.</p> <p>I own animal print tops too, but none in leopard, for some reason. I guess I like B&amp;W zebra better near my face. But I still apply similar principle: just one animal print at a time. Or to look at it another way, statement pieces are best on their own, and not competing with other statement pieces.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-leopard-can-you-wear-at-a-time#post-1344113 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 23:57:50 +0000 Deborah 1344113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would suggest not too much at once:)&nbsp; I was watching something on tv the other night (cannot recall what it was but think it was a British crime show) and the woman was wearing leopard everything and it was all different leopard lol.&nbsp; Not a tasteful look </p> <p>Having said that I think you can wear more than one item of leopard.&nbsp; I think it just needs to be subtle.&nbsp;A tonal mix can work nicely.&nbsp; I quite like animal print worn as a bit of a statement so one piece works nicely.&nbsp; Particularly say an awesome pair of leopard heels.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think what you are suggesting sounds great.&nbsp; You are talking accessories as opposed to clothing so mixing them and wearing more than one can work stunningly together.</p> <p>Now I need to check our Mary's post :)</p> </p>
