A few years ago, leopard print was more associated with The Real Housewives of New Jersey and a tacky sense of style instead of fashion. But now, thankfully, leopard print is everywhere… in fact, it’s really more of a neutral than a pattern. Sure, there are certain ways leopard print can look a little tacky, but when it’s styled correctly, it looks amazing. It’s fun, it’s interesting, and it’s actually a lot more versatile than you may think.
A lot of people assume leopard print should be worn with black, brown, or white – simple, and served in small doses. Not the case at all! Like I said, leopard print is now basically a neutral and can be worn so many different ways. You just need to get a little creative with it. Here are 20 style tips on how to wear leopard clothes, from shirts to skirts to dresses and more.
1. If you don’t want to try anything too crazy, pair leopard print with burgundy pants. The result is incredibly chic.
2. A leopard print dress can be super simple – just add a gold necklace and a bright bag. Effortless!
3. Red and leopard is such a bold combination. I love how the blouse looks with this skirt.
4. Pair leopard pants with a bright top, sneakers, and a cute hat for a casual but seriously cool look.
5. I love the combination of red and mint or turquoise. A leopard print shirt looks great with mint pants, and a statement necklace really makes the look pop.
6. Or you can always keep your look super simple. A leopard blouse with black skinny jeans and black flats is a timeless look.
7. Leopard jeans look great with red shoes. You can keep the rest of the look basic for something more classic and professional.
8. Leopard print blouse, bright blazer and boyfriend jeans are perfect spring outfit.
9. You can wear a leopard print shirt under any color cardigan with jeans, but I really like a light coral color.
10. For a simple and casual look, just wear a leopard cardigan over a white tee and jeans. So easy.
11. For a more tough look, wear a leather jacket and cute booties with a leopard print dress.
12. This look is really cute, and it’s perfect for fall or a spring. A leopard tank with a colorful skirt and a chunky cardigan looks great.
13. Another way to wear leopard pants: a t-shirt, casual vest, and ankle boots.
14. A pair of leopard print shorts can be dressed up or down, and look so great with a bright tank for the summertime.
15. Who knew a denim vest over a leopard dress could look so fresh and cute?
16. Don’t be afraid to mix leopard with other prints and patterns. A striped shirt is an unexpected item to mix with a leopard skirt.
17. Wear your leopard print skirt, pants or shorts with a graphic tee for a casual look.
18. A white tee and leopard skirt is boring on it’s own. Add a jean jacket for a more classic update.
19. A leopard sweater and black skater skirt is a combo that will never get old.
20. A chambray shirt keeps your leopard maxi skirt from being too over-the-top. Love this!
