Models
Leopard print is a very bright detail that attracts attention from afar. Therefore, the styles of such coats are often concise, without unnecessary elements.
The style can be different, both classic and ordinary oversizes for every day. Although this kind of variable-frequency print is found practical on all possible models, on some it appears most often.
For a start, these are classic trench coats, fitted and straight coats of medium length. The most spectacular look products with large collars, especially if they differ in texture.
A short (mid-thigh) or elongated (just below the hips) straight jacket coat is another common option. Models of such length with such a bright print look more harmonious than anything, they are not annoying due to the fact that the image is diluted with other visible clothing and things companions.
There is also a maxi coat in spotted colors, but this is rare. However, such a length is now in fashion, and if you really want a coat to the floor, but with leopard spots, then you should try to wear it wide-open or with monophonic things.
If you want to move away from strict lines, you should look for an oversized coat, as they are widely represented in the popular colors. This style often has long and wide sleeves, large collars, volumetric silhouettes.

Types of Leopard Prints
There are two categories in which leopard print may differ. The first is the color, the second is the shape and saturation of the pattern.
The most classic and widely used colors are a combination of golden, beige with black and brown spots.
But the season brought fashion for the most unusual shades even for such a color. For example, you can find fur coats of purple color with black spots, or the whole product can be aged in turquoise shades. There is another option: the color of the spots themselves on the coat of a classic color. In the black or brown contour instead of golden spots can be purple, green, blue, beige.
As for the form, it is mainly this classic spot about the size of a large button. Less common spots are smaller or, conversely, large (the size of a bottle of varnish). Mostly the spots are closely tied to each other to create a single pattern, but a small distance between them is also allowed.
