Leopard Print & Black: Perfect For All Seasons

By Elma B.

One of my favorite outfit combinations, whether it be the summer or the winter, is leopard print and black. The colors are very understated yet have proven to be timeless: glamorous throughout decades. If you have been reading my posts, you know by now that I adore the 1960s.

In this post, I will take you through the time machine back to the 1960s with Natalie Wood, Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor elegantly wearing leopard print and black. In fact, many of the Old Hollywood divas wore the leopard print coats and Kate Moss and Nicole Richie seem to have carried the torch of leopard print coats and black into the 21st century. For whatever reason, leopard print and black always exhume glamour and make ultra-chic statements.

Another reason black and leopard print are a perfect combination: 

The two are easy to wear and do not require much thought. For instance, on this particular day when I wore black and leopard print, I was not feeling too creative and wanted look simple yet chic and fashionable. Voila, there you have it, my look of the day coupled with fashion icons, who always opt for a smart and quick choice: black and leopard print glam. outfit combinations. Until next time...signing-off from Aspen. Xoxo.
