Go for bold in these daring leopard printed tights by Acne Studios. While printed tights can be difficult to wear and match with your wardrobe, the opacity of the pattern in this pair is light enough that you could team them with pretty much any colour. My rule of thumb is to?avoid wearing mixed patterns (i.e. patterned’dress and patterned?tights), as it’s very easy to start looking like your grandma’s old mishmash curtains.
