Leopard print is everywhere I look this season.
New fashion labels have launched leopard print as part of their first release. Newly discovered labels (for me) have got leopard print interspersed through their product line.
If you didn’t know, leopard print isn’t going away anywhere soon.
It’s the pattern or neutral, as some stylists suggest, that never really goes out of fashion. Over the last 9 years of watching the fashion industry evolve and while writing this blog, leopard print always pops its head.
There are so many different leopard prints available – some with a snow leopard colourway, others with more a grey tone and you can’t beat the classic caramel tones of a natural leopard print.
If you haven’t dived into this revolving fashion trend, here are 9 ways to add leopard print to your wardrobe. You only need to add one piece to work within your existing wardrobe.
1. Cami
Styling You The Label launched this gorgeous Brooke Animal Cami, which is a versatile piece that can be worn to the office under a blazer or casually on the weekend with jeans. I love how it’s been styled on Karen from Style Loving 2 with the Bec Technical Shorts.
2. Neck Scarf
I love the versatility of a neck scarf, and Jenni from Styling Curvy wears it so well. This is a budget way to add leopard print to your outfit – wear a neck scarf around your hair, on your handbag, around your neck or even as an arm band.

3. Shift Dress
Go all out in a shift dress. If the print is too overwhelming, go with a broken up pattern like this shift dress from Freez Fashion.
4. Kimono
I love wearing my kimono as a duster. If you haven’t added a kimono to your wardrobe this summer, why not invest in a leopard print number? Love these two options from 17 Sundays and IL and Co.

5. Shoes
Add some leopard print to your feet. If you want to wear the print in a minimal way, wear a leopard print shoe.

6. Scrunchie
Not sure if I will personally be jumping in on this trend, but scrunchies are back. Pop a leopard print scrunchie on your ponytail.
7. Tunic
I love a tunic that does double duty – can be worn as a dress or as a top. I bought this one size fits all number and love it. Unfortunately, I can’t wear this as a dress, but it looks great with shorts.

8. Belt
Belts are another subtle way to incorporate leopard print. They can add a bit of interest to a block colour dress.
9. Culottes
I haven’t personally ventured down the culotte path, but this is another way to add leopard print to your wardrobe. Works well with a black or white tee for a casual look.
