Leopard print comes back every season, and for good reason: it's a true timeless classic. But it can be intimidating, for fear of overdoing it. The key is dosage. Here are our simple rules for wearing it with elegance.
In short
- One leopard piece per outfit is enough.
- Pair it with solid colours: black, camel, white, denim.
- Shoes are the easiest way to start.
- Leopard can almost be treated as a neutral.
The 4 golden rules
1. A single printed piece
Leopard is the star of the outfit: let it shine alone. Shoes, a bag or a scarf, but not all three at once.
2. Solid colours around it
Black, camel, white, beige and denim are leopard's best partners. They highlight it without competing.
3. Simple materials
A knit jumper, a cotton shirt, raw denim: natural, understated materials balance the print.
4. Treat it as a neutral
Thanks to its tawny tones, leopard goes with almost every natural colour. Think of it as camel with texture.
Why start with shoes?
Worn on your feet, leopard stays discreet but instantly adds character. It's the easiest way to try the print if you never wear it. A leopard clog under black trousers, or a leopard bootie under raw denim, transforms a very simple outfit.
4 outfits with leopard shoes
- Raw denim, black jumper and leopard clogs: the foolproof classic.
- Wide black trousers and a white shirt: chic and easy for the office.
- Camel knit dress and leopard booties: cosy in winter.
- All-ecru look: leopard becomes the only accent of colour.
Our Sienna clog and our Cortina bootie both come in leopard print, in vegan suede with a peach-skin feel.
