Fashion Trend 2020 - How to Style Leopard Print Properly

Did someone say "leopard"?

Today it's all about this great animal print, because in 2020 leopard print is still super trendy in women's clothing and is an indispensable part of any wardrobe. Whether it's a scarf, top, a maxi dress with a leopard print or a handbag with this great pattern - the coming season will be wild!

Thanks to the beautiful fur of wild cats, many different possibilities are created in the fashion world and the leopard print is constantly reinterpreted - because: not all leopard prints are created equal. Whether it's the classic black and brown leopard print or with bright neon accents - there's a huge variety, which makes it all the more difficult to style the pattern correctly. Anyone who opts for leopard print not only demonstrates fashion flair, but also radiates self-confidence and assurance.

Many women often think that they are not "brave" enough for leopard print clothing because it is an eye-catching print. But I see things a little differently and today I'm going to show you some cool looks on how you can style leopard print for everyday wear. The great thing about the leopard look is that it can be combined in many ways - from sexy and playful to sporty and elegant. That's why I've picked out a few everyday situations to show you how easy it is to wear leopard print clothing with style.

 

"Keep calm and go shopping" - a look for your next shopping trip

Leopard print dresses are an absolute must-have for spring and summer. The practical thing about dresses is that they are an all-rounder for the whole year, because you can wear them on cold days with tights or a knitted jumper. Since we can now enjoy some sunshine, but the wind can sometimes still be a bit chilly, I've chosen the fashion world's favourite spring style for this look: the combination of a dress and a jumper. The dress with leopard print "Lilly" is brand new in our shop and I immediately fell in love with this dress...

So here are 3 facts you should know about the "Lilly" leopard print dress:

• Since the seam at the bust sits low, this dress can also be worn wonderfully by women with a large bust
• The dress is made of 100% viscose - a light, flowing fabric, making it a great summer dress with a leopard print!
• Since the dress is loosely cut and has ruffles at the bottom, it can be worn very well with a belt. This way you can determine the shape and length of the dress yourself.

 

I combined the dress with our orange knitted jumper "Kirsten" - if that's a bit too bright for you - no problem - the knitted jumper with a beautiful V-neck is also available in white and black. Two colours that you can wear perfectly with the leopard print dress. Since you always take money, your phone and other important things with you when shopping (which women simply have to have), I chose the "Vicky" bag - a woven bag made of 100% straw (summer feeling!). In times of Corona, it is of course even more important to also take a cloth mask with you. It would be funny if we at Zwillingsherz didn't have something suitable in store: The "Leopard" mask, which you can buy individually or as a set from us.

 

 

"Better to celebrate and drink prosecco than to wait and drink tea" - a look for special occasions

Hopefully, the time will soon come when we can sit outside with friends again, drink sparkling wine and enjoy the evening. To increase the anticipation even more, I have put together a great "leopard party look" for you here. For this outfit, only a few steps are really necessary - a white basic dress and a scarf with a leopard print. I have also prepared three important pieces of information for the "Anastasia" leopard print scarf:

• The scarf is finished with great attention to detail, e.g. small silver threads are sewn into the scarf, which give your look elegance and glamour
• The colour turquoise always reminds you of lagoons, the sea and holidays - so you can also wear this scarf perfectly at the next beach party!
• The scarf is 180 cm long, which is perfect for protecting yourself from the wind on colder days, as you can wrap it around your neck several times or simply wear it over your shoulder as a jacket substitute

 

Since I think the leopard scarf is such a great eye-catcher, you don't need much more for the outfit. That's why I chose the white basic dress "Melli". The white dress further emphasizes the beach/Ibiza look and the turquoise scarf can come into its own more. Of course, you can still grab a great bag or a summer hat here!

 

"Better to cycle to the beach than to drive a Mercedes to work" - a look for your next bike tour

The weather is beautiful and the sun is shining - so perfect for spending time outside and getting on your bike. My problem when cycling is always that I'm either totally hot or, when it gets a bit windy again, I get cold again. That's why I opted for the well-known "onion look", loved by my mother, for this outfit. For the top, you wear the white blouse "Gesa". The basic blouse has a great broderie anglaise pattern above the chest and is decorated with cute bobbles. Over that - to add a bit of colour - you can then wear our "Leah" poncho in a great berry tone. If it gets too warm on the bike, you can take it off, drape it over your shoulder or simply put it in your bike basket. The advantage of the poncho is that it is wide and airy, allowing you to move freely on the bike. Of course, our "Samira" triangle scarf with leopard print must not be missing.

3 facts you should know about the "Samira" leopard print scarf:

• The scarf has an embroidered border in beige with small pink embellishments woven into it - an eye-catcher is guaranteed!
• Pink is an absolute trend colour this season, so it's even better that two different shades of pink have been incorporated into this leopard print triangle scarf
• The scarf has a cotton content, which means: it warms you on cold days, but you won't sweat because cotton is temperature and moisture regulating and breathable.

 

 

"Work isn't for me. I'm more of a leisure type" - an office look

Leopard print isn't for the office? Nonsense! Whether it's a leopard print top or a leopard print blouse - these pieces definitely work with simple trousers in a chic office style too! I have selected our "Delia" leopard print blouse for you and, of course, have prepared three cool facts here too:

• The leopard print on this blouse is a bit bolder. However, this doesn't make the blouse more striking, but rather makes it look more subtle. Thanks to the dark tones, you can therefore wear it perfectly in the office without your outfit looking overloaded
• The blouse has elasticated cuffs. This prevents it from slipping and gives the blouse shape
• At the bottom hem, you have the option of shaping your blouse yourself. Thanks to an integrated drawstring, you can determine how tight the blouse should be worn on your hips

 

To complete your office look, you don't really need much more - except for our green "Laura" bamboo scarf. The scarf, made of 100% bamboo, is super soft and airy and therefore perfect to wear loosely with the leopard print blouse. Since you also take your most important things (wallet, phone, food, etc.) to the office, a bag is a must! Bags in earthy tones look particularly beautiful with classic clothing with leopard prints in brown and black. That's why I chose the beige "Berta" bag, which looks particularly cool with its elaborate knitted pattern.

 

"Home is where you don't have to suck in your tummy" - a look for home

Homewear is more important than ever! We are currently spending a lot of time at home. After a few weeks of working from home, I can say from my own experience that it is important to "get ready" even at home. Since you don't like walking around at home in jeans, comfortable clothing - loungewear - is perfect for this. The popular leopard print can also be perfectly used in women's homewear. In the Zwillingsherz loungewear collection you will find our "Leonella" hoodie in a beautiful, light blue shade.

 Again, here are 3 facts you should know about the "Leonella" hoodie:

• The leopard print hoodie has a slightly brushed surface, making the jumper even softer and super cozy
• Since the hoodie has an elastane content, it is very stretchy and elastic. So you don't have to worry about not being able to move freely
• You also have a wide U-neckline, so there is no tightness around the neck

 

For your perfect homewear outfit, you actually don't need much more - except for comfortable jogging trousers. To match the light blue leopard print jumper, I have chosen our "Rike" sweatpants in a beautiful dark blue. The at-home look is complete!

 

"Friends make good times better and bad times easier" - a look for meeting friends

 The contact restrictions have been eased and soon we will be able to meet up with our friends again, go to museums together or have a cocktail. For this occasion, I have put together a great, summery outfit for you. If you scroll down, you will certainly notice that both the dress and the leopard print scarf look very familiar to you. That's right, because here too I have chosen the "Anastasia" scarf - but this time in orange, not turquoise.

And yet I have 3 more interesting points about this leopard print scarf:

• Have you noticed the cool combination of leopard and zebra print? With this scarf, you're going all out for animal print!
• This neckerchief is super versatile because it is very thin and airy. You can therefore also tie it perfectly to your handbag or tie it in your hair
• Compared to the turquoise scarf, you are setting stronger colour accents here, because orange is a vibrant colour that stands for creativity, curiosity and joy of life

 

As already mentioned, you can also tie the leopard print scarf to your bag. This adds colourful highlights to a simple outfit and your scarf won't be forgotten on hot days. To perfectly complete the summery outfit, I chose the "Amelie" rattan bag. The woven straw pattern, in combination with the brown faux leather, automatically reminds you of summer. And with the bag, you can decide for yourself whether you want to carry it over your shoulder or as a cross-body bag with your outfit, because you can determine the length of the strap yourself.

 

Whether it's a top with a leopard print, dresses in a leopard look or jumpers with this pattern - leopard print is in and leopard print stays in. The important thing is: dare to wear it! Of course, leopard print clothing always means taking a fashion risk, but as they say, "nothing ventured, nothing gained."

In this spirit: Stay healthy,

your Charlotte
