Haven't You Heard? Leopard Print IS A Neutral

There's been some debate within the fashion industry as a whole about whether of not an animal print is a neutral, how to wear it, and what is acceptable to wear it with. There's also the discussion of whether or not you should wear these bold prints over a certain age, like 40.

If you're a retro/pinup model, you already know that leopard prints are pretty much a wardrobe staple! While it might be considered a "bold" choice, isn't that what we pinup models want to achieve anyway? History even proves to us that leopard print has been worn by some of the biggest icons of all time.
