Personal Shopper: Incorporating Leopard

Reader Request

I'm really liking all of the leopard print that I've been seeing, but I'm usually a preppy dresser, and I'm afraid that if I try to wear leopard, I'll just look ridiculous or trashy. Is there any way to incorporate leopard into an outfit and still keep it classy and understated?

Definitely! A cute pair of leopard flats, a skinny leopard belt, or a small leopard bag will add visual interest to any understated outfit, but I wanted to create a look for you that used an actual garment. If you keep the rest of your pieces simple and ladylike, leopard can be classy instead of flashy.
