Style is definitely a way to express yourself. And having a wild personality isn't necessarily required to love wearing this print . Leopard can be worn tastefully, both in everyday life and in professional life. 💁♀️
Leopard print can actually be worn as a neutral that pairs with almost any color, other print, or pattern. Its warm, neutral tones pair perfectly with fall and winter hues, although it can also be worn year-round!
And today, My Leopard team has come together to offer you this ultimate guide to this fashionable trend since the 80s. In this article, you'll simply find different "levels" that confirm your comfort level in using it in your style. Just follow these tips to make this pattern look classy and chic. Ready? Let's go 👇
Leopard Trend Level 1
Your favorite pieces: Leopard Belts , Leopard Loafers, Leopard Scarf , and all the little accessories in this style.
If you're not yet convinced by the charm of leopard print, if you're unsure how such a seemingly wild pattern can be worn as a neutral, or if you're not used to shaking up your wardrobe, this section is for you! 👄
To incorporate a little leopard print into your wardrobe, start with a small accessory, such as a belt or flats. Neither of these pieces is inherently flashy, and they can be seamlessly incorporated into an entirely neutral ensemble. While leopard is a neutral that can be worn with bright, bold colors or mixed with other prints, if you're hesitant to add it to your wardrobe, stick to simple colors like black, white, beige, etc.
Our outfit tips :
✔️ A black turtleneck paired with dark jeans. Accented with a leopard print belt . Add a gray blazer if you're feeling bold. Otherwise, keep it simple with a long camel or gray sweater.
✔️ Black leggings with a neutral tunic or a chunky oversized sweater, paired with a leopard-print accessory. 👜
To warm you up: Whenever you're about to wear black (or brown) flats or a neutral-colored belt with an outfit, try swapping it for a leopard-print version . Or, play it safe by simply tying a leopard-print bandana or small scarf around your wrist. The same thing works great on handbag handles.
Leopard Trend Level 2
Your favorite pieces: Leopard Ankle Boots , Leopard Heels, Leopard Handbag, and all the supporting items in an outfit.
You're feeling the power of leopard, but you're still a little shy about going all out. Play up the leopard look by tying a bandana or scarf around your neck—it's chic! Bringing the leopard print closer to your face makes it more visible, but the piece itself remains a small part of your overall outfit. 😎
If you're not comfortable with the tie-dye look that's totally in right now, you can up your shoe game even further by wearing leopard-print ankle boots or heels instead of flats. You can also make your leopard pop by pairing any of the accessories mentioned above with warm hues like olive green, poppy, mustard, chambray blue, or cranberry.
Our outfit tips :
✔️ A plain dress in one of the colors above with black tights and leopard print booties, a marvel!
✔️ A leopard print scarf around the neck, a button-up shirt over a cream cable knit sweater, olive green skinny jeans and leather loafers equal bombshell!
✔️ Plain dress, black or brown leather knee-high boots and a leopard print bag or tote, guaranteed success!
Leopard Trend Level 3
Your favorite pieces: All the accessories above, plus Leopard Sweaters, Shirts and Pants .
You're not intimidated by leopard print, and you shouldn't be! You know it can be worn as a neutral and is anything but a look to overlook. You feel comfortable wearing larger pieces in prints. Like a sweater, top, or pants. At this level, you can wear leopard as a neutral, meaning it can be paired with any color. And you're ready to mix other prints with it. 🐆
To make it easier to mix prints, keep the other (non-leopard) pattern simple, such as a white striped tee or a fine polka dot. The classic look of these patterns makes them easier to mix with leopard than multi-colored prints like plaid or bolder textures like fur.
Our outfit tips :
✔️ A simple leopard print shirt with classic blue jeans. Guaranteed style !
✔️ An olive military jacket over a white and navy striped shirt, skinny jeans, and leopard-print ankle boots or heels. Wonderful!
✔️ A leopard print crewneck sweater with a shiny wool skirt, a pearl necklace, gray tights, and black shoes. To die for!
✔️ Leopard print ankle-length pants , a blue striped button-down shirt with a blazer or jacket, and neutral loafers. Almost classic!
Leopard Trend Level 4
Your favorite pieces: All of the above, plus Leopard Dresses and Coats .
Leopard print is within your reach. You're not afraid to make leopard a tasteful accessory or tool. Nor are you afraid to boldly wear a leopard fur coat or silk dress. You probably have a lot of leopard pieces in your wardrobe. And you're not afraid to get creative by mixing prints and patterns. 💪
For all-over leopard print pieces like dresses or coats, keep the rest of your style simple. Think solid colors and simple patterns like Breton stripes, as well as basics like jeans and leather boots, as the leopard print is taking up a lot of space in your outfit at this point.
Our outfit tips :
✔️ Leopard print dress, burgundy tights, red lipstick, olive booties, or black knee-high boots. Rich!
✔️ A navy satin button-down shirt, an olive vest, and a skirt accented with a leopard print belt. Gorgeous!
✔️ A leopard coat over a printed shirt, your favorite jeans, black or olive heels or ankle boots, and red lipstick. Win!
However you decide to incorporate leopard print into your wardrobe, wear it with confidence . In fact, you'll find that wearing this pattern will give you confidence and elevate your style and fashion appeal.
