Like velvet and feather, animal prints have the potential to be either in vogue or a catastrophe. To avoid looking like a Vegas show girl gone terribly wrong, wear classic, simple pieces with conservative lines such blouses, trench coats, or mid-thigh to knee length skirts. Avoid anything too revealing as that too leads to Vegas show girl faux pas.
Another faux pas to avoid is covering yourself head-to-toe in an animal print; I have nothing clever to compare this to, it's just overpowering and bizarre. Instead, limit your ensemble to either one main animal print piece or to a few animal print accents(
cheetah pumps, a skinny belt with an animal print, an animal print scarf, etc) to an ensemble composed of neutral pieces. Wear animal print pieces with denim, cotton, and other gender-neutral fabrics in neutral colors and very light and very dark blues. Shy away from ultra-feminine fabrics as they will make your outfit too busy.
