The real reason women still want to wear leopard print

Maybe I only have fourteen scarves with a gray, brown, red, yellow, brown, black leopard print. Oops. It remains a thing, those animal prints. We still feel sexy as women in a leopard print.

Dress, shirt, scarf, sweater: it doesn't matter. As long as the garment has a spotted leopard pattern. We love leopard. We all do.

But how is that actually? It can be scientifically explained. It is precisely those wild animals that do what they feel like doing. That is what the women who wear such a pattern want too. Women who wear those prints stand out because of this. Well, in the past, now you see zebras, tigers, and snakes on every corner of the street. There is a reason that the prints from the animal kingdom are so immensely hip and have been hip for centuries. 'A woman shows that she is a hunter and certainly not prey,' say the experts. A way for a woman to feel sexy and strong, simply by wearing this. In 1954, icon Christian Dior already wrote that ‘women who wear leopard print are a bit complicated. You are not sweet and nice and good. You dare to be a little extra, you are charming, you like to stand out, you have an opinion, you are a bit wild.’ It is somewhat equivalent to having passion, not being shy. And ultimately, in the long term: popularity. It is no longer just something for a Nel Veerkamp or something that belongs in the tacky Jordanese pubs. It radiates that primal power, it gives you that aura of 'I know what I want in life and I go for it', and also that aura towards men of: 'You can't just have me, you have to work for it.'.

Ah, there is so much behind such a lovely print. I suddenly feel quite happy with that collection of scarves. And secretly I also have a lot of shirts. And dresses. And pants. And… Roarrr.
