Cheetahs, Leopards, tigers, oh my! There's no escape – animal prints are back in style. Made for a woman who's always on the prowl, this fierce pattern is best for conveying power, with a dash of femininity. Here are our top Do's and Don'ts for wearing animal prints.

Do's for wearing animal prints

  • Do wear it loud and proud – Whether you're dawning a cheetah, leopard or tiger print, wild-life inspired patterns are ideal for revealing the real leader of the pack. Try wearing this fun motif to parties.
  • Do wear it as your centerpiece – Jackets, tops, and dresses are all fierce pieces of clothing that shows you're not a scaredy-cat.

  • Do wear it as an accessory – Sometimes a little can go a long way. Try pairing animal-print stockings, scarfs, shoes, or bags with your little black dress to elevate your outfit to the next level.

Don'ts for wearing animal prints

  • Don't mix animals – Let's be honest, animal prints are loud (and that's ok!) – but wearing two (or more) prints at the same time can come off as attention-needy. We get it! You love animals. However, try focusing on one cat at a time.
  • Don't combine bright colors – Unless you're trying to look like a Lisa Frank creation, combining bright colors and wild-life patterns isn't ideal. Instead, try incorporating neutral colors like tan, brown, black, or white. A little can go along way!

  • Don't sport it to serious events – There's a time and place for everything; Loud prints aren't considered conservative (which is why we like it). However, you'll want to dress appropriately for times when you want to be taken seriously.
