From our friends at thefind.com:
Leopard print is undeniably having its comeback this season, but I don’t blame some fashionistas for not being fully convinced. After all, since the style had been exiled into “tacky” territory for quite some time, it’s tough to welcome it back to your wardrobe, closet doors wide open, without having at least a little bit of hesitation. Baby steps are key, so if you’ve already graduated from leopard jewelry or a printed clutch and think you’re ready to walk on the wild side with something a bit more statement-making, make way for leopard print cardigans! True, cardigans aren’t exactly what you’d call a “baby step,” considering a print as bold as leopard can easily turn into the focus of your entire outfit, but since cardigans are typically a more conservative silhouette by nature, the combination of the loud print and sophisticated wardrobe staple is a match made in wearable trend heaven! Go pretty and drapey in a long Rebecca Taylor open cardigan with a muted “watercolor” print for a softer take on leopard, or go for something more figure-cinching like this belted wrap cardigan from Forever 21. Opt for a more classic interpretation of the print like this Dolce & Gabbana Cardigan, or mix things up with in a color that’s not too crazy like this green cashmere cardigan by Crumpet!
