People are always on the lookout for new fashions, but are afraid of picking up on something after its already outdated. Its a valid concern, considering how often and how quickly trends change, but if youre willing to try something a little different, then you may want to think about the cheetah print. The cheetah print has been around for a while, coming in and out of the fashion realm, but the key to making the print work lies in using it sparingly and tastefully.

One of the main things about the cheetah print is that it makes a bold and glaring statement. If overused, it borders on distasteful, but that should not stop you from incorporating it into your wardrobe, accessories, or even home. Here are some basic suggestions if youre not too sure what to do with the cheetah print:

- The number one rule is always not to overdo it. Because the cheetah print can be overwhelming, its important not to overuse it, or to mix it with other bold prints and patterns. If you do, you will get a noisy, confused look.

- In terms of clothing, stick with a single cheetah print piece, such as a jacket or a pair of pants, or go with a few coordinating accessories: shoes, a scarf or bag, maybe a bangle.

- Believe it or not, cheetah prints can be classy and chic. Make sure the fabrics wildness is tamed by a sophisticated style. Go for a floor-length gown with simple jewelry, or a solid colored outfit with a sleek cheetah scarf.

- Remember that animals prints are not exactly calming pieces; but if youre trying to portray passion and exoticness in a room, consider cheetah print cushions against leather furniture. As always, just a piece here or there is more than enough.

- Consider that a little cheetah can go a long way. A simple scarf around your neck, a bangle on your wrist, or even more discretely, a notebook in your bag, may be all you need to make your desired statement.

And remember, if you are not into the cheetah print phenomenon, its okay. There are thousands of other fashions to choose from, and its more important that you feel comfortable with a design than it is to worry about whats current and whats old.
