I’ve droned on several times about how leopard is a neutral (this post and this one and this one), but that was mostly in respect to pairing it with virtually any color. What about combining leopard with other patterns? Yep, still a neutral.
As long as the scale of the two patterns has enough contrast (the check or polka dot isn’t the same size as the leopard spot), then you’re good to go. You read that right, I’d pair this vest with a small gingham, too. If you want a more subdued look, pair the leopard with a pattern that has a similar color (in my instance, black is the common denominator).
Since the top half of my outfit is neutral colors, then any color skirt or pants would look great…I’m digging the tomato red.
Remember I gushed over the tortoise watch (and it’s more expensive counterpart) in this post? It’s mine now…and I looooove it.
Are you convinced leopard is neutral yet? How do you wear it?
I love leopard in a house. Love, love, love it! Not Vegas-style…just subtle leopard here and there. đŸ™‚
LOVE that vest!
That vest! Another blogger I follow posted about it being in the Target girls' section…sooooo adorable!

Meow!! Everything always looks so put together on you! You got it going on Cassie!
Raawr on, hot stuff. Raawr on. Rocking it. When I wear animal print, I look like the sad cousin of whatever animal I'm wearing.
Leopard's a neutral AND a classic in my book!
I love it when someone else thinks animal prints are neutrals. I try to tell my husband this all the time. Leopard and zebra especially — both totally neutrals. I paired my leopard flats with hot pink pants this morning. I am absolutely loving the combo (not to brag on my outfit…)
I have a pair of leopard print flats that I wear with pretty much everything! Leopard is my favorite neutral!
two of my favorite patterns together! love it!! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Love! You are so cute!
Love leopard with anything…..Your outfit is darling.
With anything and errrrthang Cass! I use it as a neutral to anchor all of my looks. Totally a "signature" look, I especially love it paired with large scale florals for a fun pattern on pattern mix! Happy Friday you fabulous fashionista!
