Leopard print has always been a staple in my closet for two reasons: it’s timeless and it goes with everything.

Christian Dior is accredited as the first designer to use leopard print, instead of fur, on the runway in 1947. Style icons like Josephine Baker, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Edie Sedgwick all wore the pattern.

Leopard print pairs well with from a simple black crop top to a hot pink sweater to create a bold statement. It is an extremely versatile pattern that you can wear all-year around. You can dress your leopard print outfit up with some chic heels or wear it with some chunky sneakers.

Not to mention that leopard print never goes out of style, making it a staple in your wardrobe. Leopard print makes a statement, it can’t be ignored.
