Leopard Print Clothing: From Pants to Cardigans

Leopard print clothing comes as pants, shorts, blouses, tops, long-sleeve shirts, sweaters, cardigans and dresses, and the easiest way to start is with a top worn with jeans or black pants. Whether the pattern sits on the bottom, on top or as an outer layer decides the rest of the outfit.

This guide goes through the pieces one by one and shows examples from the shop. The basic rules on colors and how much to wear are in the article How to style leopard print. Here we look at the individual pieces.

Which clothing comes in leopard print?

Leopard print shows up in almost every part of the wardrobe. Here is an overview:

• Bottoms. Pants, shorts and skirts.
• Tops. Blouses, tops, long-sleeve shirts and sweatshirts.
• Knitwear. Sweaters and cardigans, from the knit sweater to the oversize knit jacket.
• Full length. Dresses in leopard print, where the pattern carries the whole look.
• Outer layers and extras. Jackets, scarves, belts and jewelry.

Leopard pants, shorts and skirt: pattern on the bottom

Leopard pants. The leopard print jersey pants in Classic Leo have an elastic waistband and a wide leg in a tall length. In the photo the model wears a short black top with them. More about colors, shoes and outfits is in the article How to style leopard print pants.

Leopard shorts. The leopard shorts in beige and black have an elastic waistband with a drawstring. A simple top in black or white and flat sandals go with them. You can find more styles in the leopard shorts.

Leopard skirt. A skirt with leopard print follows the same logic as the pants: the top stays one color. A long-sleeve shirt or a fine knit in black, cream or brown is enough.

Leopard blouse, top and long-sleeve shirt: pattern on top

Leopard blouse. The strapless muslin blouse in leopard brown is made of cotton, has an elastic neckline and leaves the shoulders bare. In the photo it is worn with wide black pants: the pattern sits on top, and the bottom stays calm. You can find more styles in the leopard blouses.

Leopard top. The leopard basic top in light is sleeveless, cropped and ribbed. It is a small step into the pattern: with black pants or jeans the outfit stays calm, and an open white blouse goes over it.

Long-sleeve shirt. Long-sleeve shirts with leopard print come in different shades. A long-sleeve shirt replaces the plain long-sleeve tee, and straight jeans or black trousers go with it.

Leopard sweater, sweatshirt and cardigan: pattern in knitwear

Leopard sweater. The leopard sweater in camel is a knit sweater with a crew neck, balloon sleeves and a loose oversize cut. In the photo it is worn with light jeans. More eye-catching knit pieces are in the statement sweaters.

Leopard sweatshirt. The leopard sweatshirt in gray has a crew neck, long sleeves and a loose cut. It is the more casual alternative to the sweater and goes with jeans as well as with leggings.

Leopard cardigan. The oversize leopard zipper knit jacket in taupe has a full-length zip and a high stand-up collar. Taupe is a muted shade between gray and brown that goes with black, cream and denim. You wear it like a jacket over a simple top.

Leopard dress, leopard jacket and small details

Leopard dress. A dress with leopard print needs hardly anything with it. Flat sandals or sneakers are enough, and on cooler evenings a jacket in beige or black goes over it.

Leopard jacket. A jacket with leopard print is the statement of the outfit. Everything underneath stays one color, such as a black sweater and straight jeans. This keeps the pattern on the outer layer, and the rest is calm.

Small details. If you only want to hint at the pattern, take a scarf, a belt or a bag. Leopard print also belongs to the topic of dopamine dressing and mob wife style.

Which leopard color goes with which piece?

The base shade of the print decides which partners go with it.

• Beige and camel. The light, classic shade, for example in the leopard shorts or the sweater. More partner colors are named in the guide Which color goes with beige.
• Brown and espresso. Darker and warmer, for example in the strapless blouse. Cream and black go with it, and you can read more in the guide Which color goes with brown.
• Gray and taupe. Cooler, for example in the sweatshirt and the zipper knit jacket. Black, white and light jeans go with it.
• Pink and other shades. Leopard print also comes in color variations. The top stays simple with it.
