the colours in the print complement your eyes and hair colour, i quite like it.
i think leopard print or animal print should exist in every wardrobe.. i was home studying today and i caught a glimpse of the kerr ianne show.. geez she's so well maintained! she had a beautiful fitting leopard print top & coupled it with a gold chain. looked absoultely stunning. i don't think it takes confidence to wear leopard. i can wear it on a daily basis and don't feel like i'm trying too hard or over doing it. i even wear my mums blouses & tie a knot to work with the larger size. it's just another beautiful print to me. i like what oneteaspoon did with leopard in summer 2006 and zimmermann wasn't too bad in spring 2007. the only time i think it looks bad is when its barely there!

i have a leopard print scarf and heels... it looks really cute matched with a black dress or satin black top and jeans.. to much leopard print is not nice

I have a really cute "beachy" halter wraparound dress that is a grey and black leopard print that I'm planning on pairing with a dark pink tank underneath and bright jewel toned blue flats and matching necklace. I'm thinking this is one of my Lollapalooza outfits.

I like pairing colorless animal prints (either the grey leopard, zebra or snake) with really bright colors. Granted, I have a very "flashy" almost rave-ish take on fashion, so I'm used to standing out a little more than most.

The Animal Print Trend continues as one of the most enduring of recent seasons. When we last looked at the trend Christina Aguilera had married a pair of Christian Louboutin with an oatmeal trench coat and has since worn them on numerous other occasions.



If you're after looking to stand-out equally as much Louboutin have followed up with leopard print in the way of their Rolando Haircalf Pump.



The Christian Louboutin Rolando Haircalf Pump are available from Saks Fifth Avenue and are selling for US$740.00.

Those shoes are hot! I personally much prefer the look in a shoe/scarf to a whole dress.

I've got some animal print stuff, a leopard dress I bought a couple of years back, some lingerie and one of those tiger/zebra print singlets that Oneteaspoon did last summer.

I can't believe how much that bra looks like mine! A male friend told me that leopard print lingerie makes you look like a tarty housewife, but I think it's just down to the type you buy, really. I love the printed stuff I have. The cami with the red trim was a bit much, cheap looking.

My boyfriend hates the dress, but I think the colours work well with my hair and skin. I still don't wear it unless I'm going to Jungle themed parties though!

I don't like the shoes...I suppose I've seen too many cheap fuzzy knockoffs to like them now. Nothing puts me off more - a few years ago I fell for a bag at Sportsgirl but it wasn't until I saw another girl with one that I realised it was such a Balenciaga knockoff...and I was glad I hadn't actually bought it.

When animals attack: Observe what happens when the animal print trend goes wrong...



Though I don't think there's actually anything wrong with this dress - the fabric, the colour, the pattern are all quite nice... I think Alicia Keys misses the mark with the fit (the shoulders are sitting off, making her look wider than she is) and the off accessorising of purple shoes.

Are you a fan of the outfit? You can also vote here.

i absloutly love leopard print. although i used to think its tacky, i think u should only print it on specidic fabrics. other wise its looks trashy.
