This article is all about 10 Chic ways to style a leopard print skirtÂ
The leopard print is coming back, and we cannot be happier about it.
Wearing an animal print garment can add a touch of glamour to your look. It’s also a great way to spice up your outfit without overdoing it.
In spring and summer, the best way to wear a leopard print (or any animal print) garment is with a dress or a skirt.Â
A leopard print dress is bold but elegant. It takes all the attention and doesn’t need much accessories or complements to look gorgeous.

On the other hand, a leopard print skirt, even though it’s the main focus, needs other garments to look gorgeous.
We can say a leopard print skirt is a bit more difficult to style than a dress. You need to choose a good top to go with it. You need to think carefully about how you can layer it, which shoes go best with the whole look, and more.
When styling a leopard print skirt, the best thing is to keep the rest as minimal and neutral as possible. However, you can play with layers (blazers, scarfs, cardigans), shoe styles, necklines, and even add a pop of red.
Important note: When it comes to animal print skirts, always go for a midi or maxi one. They look more elegant and refined. A silk or satin midi leopard print is perfect for summer, while a maxi one would look lovely in spring, especially with a white shirt.
10 Chic ways to style a leopard print skirtÂ
Leopard print skirt with a shirt tucked in and a belt
The most elegant way to style any maxi skirt is with a shirt tucked in and a belt. Carolina Herrera is the queen and main inspiration for this iconic outfit formula.Â
This is one of my favorite outfits ever. It screams elegance and style.
Outfit breakdown
- The white shirt is a classic garment that goes well with everything.
- The black belt and pearl necklace are essential accessories for the outfit to be stylish and classy.
- The belt is a must not only because it makes it more fashionable but also because it hides the skirt’s end line.
- The black stilettos are a must when wearing a shirt and maxi dress. Whether you’re tall or not, heels are the best shoes to wear with maxi skirts. They look more elegant.
Since the white shirt and skirt outfit formula is everywhere, you can opt for a navy blue shirt instead. It looks as gorgeous as a white shirt, maybe even more so.
Rich women often wear navy blue shirts to style their skirts or pants.
If you’re wearing a navy blue shirt, you should wear a brown belt. It has a better color contrast than a black one.
Throw on a faux leather blazer (not a motor/racer jacket!)
One of the most stylish ways to layer your leopard skirt outfit is with a faux leather BLAZER.
A motor or racer leather jacket doesn’t look elegant with animal print garments. It can even make your outfit look cheaper and out of style, so make sure to wear an elegant faux leather jacket or blazer.
You can go for the classic black faux leather blazer or, for a bolder option, you can go for a brown one.Â
As you can see, I added a brown leather blazer to the white shirt outfit above. This is the perfect way to layer this look since the jacket doesn’t overshadow the skirt but makes it stand out even more.
You can wear a black leather blazer with the navy blue shirt outfit above.Â
Get this look – Jacket – Top – Skirt – Bag – Boots
The black leather blazer looks more stylish and classy than a racer jacket because it’s more structured and has a more elegant neckline.
Add a pop of red
If you want to add a bright color to your animal print outfit, it has to be red.
A pop of red, whether in accessories, shoes, or the top, can add more glamour and life to your look.
I’m completely obsessed with this outfit idea. It’s chic and expensive-looking.
Outfit breakdown
- The red vest is EVERYTHING in this look, yet it doesn’t overshadow the skirt but works as the perfect complement.
- The black heels make everything more classy. These ankle-strap sandals were Carrie Bradshaw’s favorite for a reason: they’re effortlessly chic.
- The burgundy purse is cute and goes perfectly with the vest. You can wear a black one if you feel it’s too much red.Â
This is another outfit idea with a smaller pop of red. You can also wear a black top and only add a pop of red with the purse.
Layer it with a cozy cardigan and flats
If you want to build a cute and cozy outfit with your leopard print skirt, you only need to throw on a beige or khaki cardigan and some dressy flats.Â
It’s classy, comfortable and chic. The perfect outfit for those colder spring days.

A white blazer never fails
If you want to look classy and expensive in animal print, you should layer it with a white blazer.
The white blazer adds a classy touch, making the skirt stand out even more.Â
This outfit idea perfectly shows how neutral colors look absolutely gorgeous with prints and patterns.
The perfect look for work and coffee dates.
Leopard print skirt with classy tops
The easiest way to style your leopard print skirt is with classy, minimalist tops. Just make sure to pick one with a bold neckline so it looks more stylish and less boring.
If you style your skirt with a basic top, you can play with bolder or more risky shoes to make it more fashionable and less dull. Try it with some knee-high boots, heeled sandals, and more.Â
