Chasing Leopard For the Season

This Sunday is the Chinese New Year and celebration of the 2010 being the Year of the Tiger. If we would look at the fashion for the New Year, we can notice that it is so far exciting, a little flamboyant, with lots of color & animal prints. I think animal prints are definitely in style & will bring lots of variety into each wardrobe. Some of the trendiest motifs of this season ended up being leopard prints. I think the main clothing piece that has been influencing us the most is leopard printed coat. Celebrities immediately attacked this item in stores. They have started wearing not only outside during cold weather but also on the red carpet & movie premiers.

Second item which was introduced in the animal print is a leopard printed handbag. Leopard printed handbag is very neutral accessory (even if it does not look like it since it has mix of black and orange colors). It can be worn with lots of bright colors which can make a great collaboration. How about pink, lime & bright blue colors built in an addition to the black & white dresses, skirts and pants. Some of the designers have been playing with runway dresses and their color printed fabrics which have gained public attention and fashion critics positive reviews.

I referred to Elle magazine to provide you great snapshots of celebrities stepping out in the red carpet or in their daily life. Magazine has captured what is HOT to wear in leopard prints & what can be worn along with them.
