Made up of black and brown tones, leopard print works splendidly as a neutral and often looks great against almost any color, but paired with green is one of my all-time favorite combos. From bright Kelly green to deep forest green and every green in between, leopard print is chic and sophisticated when next to it. It's no surprise though, inspired by nature, these mighty cats stand out against their green backdrops of tree leaves and grassy environments. From fashion and style ensembles -including accessories, to decorating and furnishings, the duo is more than just complementary, it's a perfect match.
Other colors that complement this combo are brown, black, orange/red/rust/peach, gold and sometimes blue hues. Red, black, and leopard print are another favorite match-up.
There are so many amazing examples of this dynamic duo it was hard for me to narrow it down. But here are my favorites... collages by me, photo sources to follow.

i agree, loepard and green compliment each other so well! very pretty pix of those lovely cats!!!
I love this mix!, I paired the same look with a green Zara dress and a loepard coat. But honestely with the home decor you posted, I am seriously thinking I need to add that to my home as well!!
Your the best, you motivate with all of your posts!

awesome combination... never thought of that combo, thanks for the ideas!
I need to buy a few green items! That shade of green is particularly beautiful. Striking leopard photos.
Great post! Personally, I'm really impressed! I love the way you write your blogs!
I love me some leopard print and have never paired it with green. I usually work it with black, tan and/or red/pink. I love your grandma's coat, btw! I even have me some leopard home decor courtesy of my rescued Bengal cat.
I am going to be that lady - but just a FYI: the last cat pic is actually a jaguar. You can tell because the rosettes on the back have a black dot in the middle. Plus, there are no leopards in Brazil. Lions (YES - they escaped from a circus), jaguars, and pumas, but no leopards in Brazil.
So many beautiful pictures! This combo is great! I also love leopard and any shade of red.
Such a chic combo! Lovely pictures! http://www.natalyascloset.com

For a while it looked real! But I liked the way you have presented a leopard print lower with a green top. Sound good!

it does make sense. Looking at nature for color inspirations, I guess you can't go wrong.
It is so stylish and attractive Print .

How it will look like if we change the color or leopard skin?
What a fab combination! I would never think to combine green and leopard but you pull it off!
