When done right, leopard print looks fresh and modern. What’s more, it’s a great way of adding a bit of personality to your look! Here’s how to look classy AND sassy in leopard print.
How to wear leopard print well
The number one tip we have for wearing leopard print is don’t overdo it! Leopard print is eye-catching enough on its own, so let it be the star of the show. Combine leopard print with neutral colours, basics and classic accessories for a balanced look. Or, use leopard print the same as you would use an accent colour in your outfit!
Leopard print outfit ideas
Leopard print dress with minimalist accessories
Gone are the days of skin-tight leopard print numbers. Pair a flowy leopard print dress with classic accessories for a balanced look. You could go as simple as an elegant pair of strappy heels in nude or metal, or black boots for a more edgy look. Finish the look with some delicate gold or silver jewellery!
Leopard flats with jeans and a tee
Leopard flats bring a bit of flair and fun to a classic outfit. You could go as simple as jeans, t-shirt and a leather bag! Try ballet flats for the office or slides for a more casual look. It’s an outfit you can rely on day in and day out.
Leopard blouse with skinny jeans
Combine a flowy leopard blouse with a pair of denim shorts or your favourite skinny jeans. Finish the look with sparkling white trainers or a pair of sleek sandals for an effortlessly cool look. This is a look you can wear anywhere – just upgrade it with heels and hoop earrings for a dressier look!
Add an accent with a leopard print accessory
The easiest way to start incorporating leopard print to your outfits is with accessories. Just like adding a bright pop of colour, leopard print works great as an accent and compliments neutrals. Remember to keep things simple here too by sticking to only one leopard print item! Think a leopard print belt, a purse, a scarf or a pair of earrings. One of the most subtle ways of using leopard print is with vintage-style sunnies or hair clips emulating leopard print. It’s such a classic look, many people don’t even think of it as a leopard print!
Leopard bottoms with a simple top
For a relaxed look, you can’t go wrong with a leopard print maxi skirt or cozy pants. Fitted leopard joggers go perfectly in an athleisure look. On the other hand, wide-legged leopard print pants can easily be worn in both casual and formal looks. Just pair your leopard print bottoms with a simple tank top or a jumper in winter! Complete the outfit with sandals or trainers for a casual yet fun look.
