Leopard print shoes are quickly becoming a must for anyone's wardrobe, and for good reason. They are trendy, chic, fashionable, and beautiful. They are also extremely versatile and easy to work with. In the fashion world, leopard print is considered a neutral color, which means that it can be paired with just bout any color and pattern. Leopard print flats, heels, and booties are also versatile, and can easily become casual or dressy, depending on what you pair them with. They are so versatile, in fact, that knowing where to start can be a challenge! Luckily, there are a few fashionable tips and tricks that can help give you a start when it comes to creating that perfect outfit.
Steps
-
Match the style of shoe to the occasion. Leopard flats are versatile and suitable to just about any occasion, but leopard print heels may be considered too flashy for most work environments. As such, it would be best to save those for a date or special night out, and stick with a pair of flats instead. [1] X Research source
-
Treat leopard print as a neutral color when composing your outfit. This means that you can pair it with just about any color. It goes especially well with fall colors, however, such as: brown, burgundy, gold, navy, olive green, and plum.

Don't be afraid of wearing leopard print shoes with other prints and patterns. You can wear up to three different patterns with leopard print shoes, but make sure that the patterns are of a similar size and proportionate to one another. [3] X Research source Having the patterns share a common color (such as black) will also keep your outfit from being too clash-y or busy. [4] X Research source
- Polka dots, plaids, and stripes are all great matches for leopard print. [5] X Research source
- Space the prints out and keep them separated with more neutrals. For example, you could wear leopard print shoes, solid-colored pants, and a plaid blouse. This will keep your outfit looking more balanced. [6] X Research source
-
Pair them with matching accessories. Although not absolutely necessary, a matching leopard print belt or bangle could make your outfit more harmonious. [7] X Research source Another idea would be to match an accessory to an element on your shoe. For example, if your shoe has a bright red sole, you could wear a bright red belt or handbag to match.
-
Match your jewelry. Some people like to keep their jewelry simple when wearing leopard print shoes, especially if the rest of their outfit is filled with patterns and prints. If your outfit is relatively simple, however, you could always try more ornate jewelry. Something with round shapes or elements would work especially well, because it would match the round leopard spots. [8] X Research source
