Leopard Print Outerwear: Make it the Centerpiece

Celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and, most notably, Sofia Vergara have turned heads with leopard print coats, jackets, and blazers. Opt for a long leopard-print coat that adds drama to your ensemble for a truly bold look. Pair it with another print to make it busier, or neutral tones like black, beige, or white to let the print stand out. If you prefer a more subtle approach, a leopard-print blazer is a versatile option—perfect for adding a fun twist to your workwear or a chic layer to a casual outfit.

Leopard Print Accessories: Add a Dash of Glamour

Still, trying to decide whether to commit to a full leopard look? Accessories are your best friends. Celebrities like Diane Von Furstenberg, Beyoncé, and Sarah Jessica Parker have been spotted incorporating leopard print into their wardrobes through accessories. A leopard-print scarf, handbag, or even shoes can instantly elevate a basic outfit. Try a leopard print belt over a sleek dress or a scarf tied around the handle of your favorite tote for an understated yet stylish touch.


Feel free to mix leopard print accessories with other patterns. Pairing a leopard clutch with a striped dress or polka-dot blouse can create a playful, modern look—make sure the colors complement each other.

Leopard Print Footwear: Stride with Confidence

This fall, leopard-print boots, loafers, and pumps are very popular. Leopard-print footwear adds an unexpected twist to any outfit. You can pair them with jeans for a casual day out or a little black dress for an evening event. Leopard print looks especially striking on classic shoe shapes. Opt for ankle boots or sleek pumps with a manageable heel height for comfort and versatility.
