Leopard Run

Leopard print is trending this summer 2018

If there is one print surging this Summer 2018 it’s Leopard Print. Animal-inspired fashion is on the rise whether it be a silky leopard print blouse or bikini. 
Leopard print is a cyclical trend in the fashion industry and originated in the 50’s courtesy of fashion powerhouse Dior. Since then we’ve seen it go through a rock star phase with Kate Moss in the 80’s and 90’s and now it is recognised as a slightly more elegant addition to an outfit.

Mix and Match Leopard Print this Summer

The key with leopard print this summer is to treat it as you would any neutral piece in your wardrobe. You can clash leopard print with vibrant colours such as neon for summer. If you’re looking for a new bikini this summer we love mixing and matching any piece from the ‘Leopard Luxe’ colourway and the ‘Cobra’ colourway.

The vibrancy of the cobra is subdued slightly by the neutral tones of the leopard print, whilst keeping the overall look fresh and summery.

If you want to work on your tan this summer check out the Selita Bandeau Top. This soft seamless bandeau features a ruched midsection with an adjustable front tie. It’s also double lined for extra support.

Shop the Selita Bandeau top in Leopard Luxe here or Cobra here. This top is also available in 5 other colourways including Shanghai, Titanium, Chilli, Avorio and Riva.

Keep it chic with Leopard Print and another neutral

If you’re not one for neon and like to keep it understated but still edgy, try teaming leopard print with another neutral. We love a silky leopard print blouse with cut off denim shorts this summer. As for your go-to summer bikini, try teaming the Leopard Luxe Gisele Top with our Iman Bottom in Titanium.

Mega babe Emily Ratajkowski is a fan of the Gisele and Iman styles, check her out in them from Harpers Bazaar.

Both pieces are double lined with minimal gold hardware. The straps on both the top and bottom are adjustable for the perfect fit.
