How to Wear Leopard Print Over 50

I don’t know about you, but I’m a seasoned leopard print lover. This print seems to cycle in and out of popularity every decade. I’m always here for it because animal print is timeless, makes a statement, and can instantly elevate your outfit. And yes, you can wear leopard print if you are over 50.

If you’ve ever wondered how to wear leopard print without going overboard, you’re in the right place! Whether you’re new to the trend or a seasoned animal print lover like me, I’m going to show you how to incorporate the print into your wardrobe with four outfit ideas.

Leopard Print Skirt

A leopard print skirt is a standout piece that will instantly become the star of your outfit. The key to styling it successfully is balance. This skirt is from Target; it’s under $30 and runs true to size. Since the print is bold, I toned down the rest of the outfit with a black top and Mary Jane heels.

Other Ways to Style It: Pair a leopard print skirt with a graphic tee and sneakers for a casual look. Swap the tee for a sleek black turtleneck or blouse and tall boots for a night out. Add a cropped leather jacket or tailored blazer to elevate the look. If you want to experiment with patterns, leopard print looks fantastic paired with stripes.

Leopard Print Top

A leopard print top is another great option for adding personality to an outfit. Whether it’s a blouse, t-shirt, or sweater, it’s a statement piece that is surprisingly versatile. This top is made of a fine knit and is a great fall transition piece. I styled it with neutral bottoms to keep the focus on the top. Brown is another color trend this fall, and it pairs cohesively with black, pulling the look together.

Other Ways to Style It: Tuck this top into a black pencil skirt for an office-appropriate ensemble. For a casual, relaxed vibe, wear it with distressed denim and ankle boots. And don’t forget about layers. A chunky cardigan or an oversized blazer over a leopard print top will tone down the boldness.

Leopard Print Shoes

Leopard print shoes are an easy way to dip your toes (pun intended!) into the trend. Whether you’re wearing ballet flats, heels, or boots, they’ll add just the right amount of interest to your outfit. Leopard print shoes look best when paired with neutral or monochrome outfits like I styled here.

Other Ways to Style It: If you’re feeling a little braver, try wearing your leopard shoes with red for a nice contrast. Leopard print booties, in particular, look great with dresses and jeans. If you want your shoes to stand out even more, play with textures like faux leather or suede.

Leopard Print Bag

If you’re still hesitant about wearing leopard print, a bag is the perfect way to incorporate the trend. A leopard print bag will go with just about anything. For this look, I paired it with a striped dress for a subtle print mix. There are lots of options out there, like my roomy tote, a crossbody bag or this cute top handle ba g.

Other Ways To Wear Leopard Print Over 50 : Accessories like a scarf, belt, or hat are all options for easily incorporating the trend.
