Dress like a leopard
A leopard's coat is warm gold covered in rosettes: dark rings, often broken, with a deeper tan inside. On the head and legs the rings turn into small solid spots, and the belly fades to cream. The pattern helps it disappear in dappled light. The look keeps the rosette print to one piece and lets the rest echo the coat: gold and caramel for the body, black for the markings, and cream near the face, where the leopard is palest.
Smoky, rich and a little daring. Pick one piece with soft, ring-shaped spots, like a scarf, a bag or a slim coat, and keep the rest quiet and smooth. Suede or calf hair shoes add a rich finish.

- Bust or chest: around the fullest part, with the tape level (for example 36 in, 91 cm).
- Waist: around the narrowest part of your middle (for example 29 in, 74 cm).
- Hips: around the fullest part, feet together (for example 39 in, 99 cm).
- Inseam: from the top of your inner thigh to your ankle bone (for example 30 in, 76 cm).
On the app, add your measurements and every piece gets its own size.
