How to Wear Leopard Shoes
It can be difficult for some women to incorporate animal prints into their style. However, you might be surprised at how easy the shoes can be to wear. A leopard print shoe can instantly make an outfit feel sophisticated while adding an energizing aesthetic. Plus, the timeless, yet never outdated, look is flattering for women of all ages and body types. 🖤
Are you ready to embrace your wild side? Here's what you need to know about how to wear leopard print shoes.
Your shoe is the focal point
In many outfits, shoes tie a look together by complementing other pieces, but with animal print shoes, it's the opposite. Leopard print shoes are inherently fabulous, which is why we often recommend making them the focal point of an outfit. 🎯
This doesn't mean you have to wear completely ordinary clothes with leopard print shoes, but we do recommend that shoes be the only "non-solid" piece. Aside from accessories, multiple pieces with stripes, animal prints , etc. can make an outfit look too busy. Whether you're wearing jeans, a skirt, a dress, shorts, or a jumpsuit, try to stick to relatively basic styles when wearing leopard print shoes.
Colors to Wear with Leopard Print Shoes
When it comes to fashion, the long-standing advice has been to avoid wearing black and brown together. But since leopard print features both brown and black, you're free to wear either—or both! That said, these are the best colors to wear with our leopard shoes!
✔️ Black: Black clothing is a leopard-print shoe's best friend. You can wear a few black pieces with other neutrals, but we love the look of an all-black ensemble. It's slimming, elegant, and always in style.
You can wear a black dress or jumpsuit to an event like a birthday or other celebration. For more relaxed occasions, you can wear black jeans and a black knit top; or black leggings with a long black tunic. A pair of leopard-print shoes will add a touch of character.
✔️ Brown Tones : Warm tones are welcome. Some people love camel, caramel, or even dark khaki. In any case, it's the toasty golden brown hue found in leopard print. A solid beige dress, pleated pants, a jacket, or a shirt are excellent choices to wear with leopard shoes . It's a common shade for leather goods, such as belts, watches, and handbags. Another option is to accent your ensemble with golden brown leather pieces.
✔️ Neutrals: Neutral colors are also known to complement leopard. These include taupe, beige, pink, off-white, cream, white, pale gray, and pewter. These colors can be worn alone or with black, brown, or tan clothing.
✔️ Deep Neutrals: Besides brown and tan, there are several other earth tones that go well with leopard. These include auburn, rust, burgundy, brown, olive, and forest green. These deep neutrals are subtle but not boring, making them a great alternative (or complement) to brown and black.
One thing to keep in mind is that while blue is often considered a neutral color, it's not the best shade to wear with leopard. ⛔️ The exception to this rule is denim, which is neutral on its own. So feel free to wear jeans or a denim jacket with your leopard shoes.
✔️ Bold Shades: While you should be careful not to wear too many bold colors and prints in one outfit, some brighter shades can work. Red, pink, and yellow are eye-catching colors and generally don't clash with leopard.
For example, a cherry red dress with leopard print shoes is a striking evening look that won't be too over the top. A bright pink top, tank top, or blouse can be worn with black pants or jeans and leopard print shoes. The same goes for canary yellow. And of course, you can always accessorize with brighter shades.
Ultimately, there's no harm in adding a pop of color to an outfit with leopard shoes. As long as these bold hues aren't printed or worn with other bold pieces, your outfit shouldn't look too over-the-top.
How to Wear Leopard Ballet Flats
Leopard print shoes are perhaps the most versatile. They include ballet flats, loafers, mules, and pointy-toe shoes. They can all be dressed up or down for a wide range of occasions.
For a casual and polished look, opt for dark blue or black jeans with leopard print flats . Layer a simple black or white knit shirt over the top. Finish the look with a leather jacket, some simple gold jewelry, and a leather crossbody bag. 👜
If you're dressing for a job interview, business meeting, or other professional occasion, opt for a pair of leopard-print loafers with black or beige pleated pants. Wear a fitted knit blouse or shirt in a neutral color and complete the outfit with a blazer or trench coat, depending on the season.
How to Wear Leopard Heels
Leopard heels are elegant, flirty, and glamorous. At My Leopard, we love them because they can be worn to the office, weddings, job interviews, dates, happy hours, and more. Plus, they pair well with a variety of pants, skirts, and dresses.
One of our favorite looks, which is perfect if you're looking for comfortable workwear, is leopard print heels with slightly cropped black pants and a plain white blouse . You don't need much else to complete this striking ensemble, except maybe a coat if the weather is nice and some small lipstick-colored accessories for a sexy and refined look. 💄
For a more feminine look, consider a black satin dress . Both fitted and flowy cuts will work. If it's cold outside, you might want to wear ecru or black tights and an overcoat. Otherwise, just slip into a pair of leopard heels, add some jewelry, grab a stylish handbag, and you're good to go.
How to Wear Leopard Ankle Boots
If you're wondering how to wear leopard print ankle boots for women, it's much easier than you think to show them off. Start with your favorite skinny jeans: black, deep indigo, white, or even an earthy tone will do the trick. 👖
For a subtle look, wear a brown or black leather belt . For a top, opt for a plain T-shirt or a simple white, black, or nude tank top. Then, layer a long cardigan in a neutral shade. Finish the look with a pendant necklace and a soft handbag.
How to wear leopard sneakers
Sneakers are inherently casual, but when accented with leopard print, they become chic and upscale. Leopard sneakers can be worn with any casual outfit. This includes jeans, shorts, jumpsuits, rompers, leggings, and even dresses.
The legging trend is one of the most popular sports styles, and a leopard-print sneaker can really make a statement. Basic colors like black and white work best with sneakers. Complete the look with a denim or leather jacket and your favorite jewelry.
