Playing with pattern is one way to put an easy spark in your wardrobe and leopard print is the pattern of the moment for boutique clothing in 2025! But some women may be wondering how to wear and style with leopard print? We have some answers for you that will inspire you to finally play with the pattern of the moment!

Leopard print is fun to play with. It can be a standout piece in the form of a pant, trench coat or knee high boot. Or it can be a subtle layering neutral if the tone of the piece is right. Leopard print is as versatile as a neutral. As fun as a floral print. And as fabulous as you are. 

In the famous words of leopard-print wearer, Janice from Friends "Oh. My. God!" It's time to find 7 ways to wear leopard print in 2025!

Leopard Print Barrel Jeans + Neutral Boutique Top

Have you heard of barrel jeans? They are the new hit look for 2025 and we're leaning into the trend with a wild twist. The leopard print barrel jeans make for a fun statement piece to your outfit. By pairing the leopard barrel pant with a neutral top it will balance out the look. We suggest trying out neutral colors like: cream, tan, black, white or taupe. Although, we will have other suggestions later for a louder look! See below for three Lu-looks with a neutral top.

Leopard Print Collared Shirt + Neutral Boutique Bottom (like a jean)

We love a collared shirt in leopard. Something about the pair feels playful and serious at the same time. You can wear this look to work, to church, to your kid's baseball game (Go Leopards!) or anything in between.

If you're wanting to dress this leopard collared shirt down - pair with a boutique jean from Lu's. We love the Dear John Denim or Judy Blue. Both we keep in stock at our boutiques in Leavenworth, KS or Springfield, MO along with some online and through our personal shopper.

Leopard Print Midi Skirt + Tailored Vest 

This lovely leopard print pairing has us perked up! A leopard print midi skirt with a little flirty slit looks lovely with a tailored cream vest and neutral tank beneath. Not to mention the handmade jewelry kicks it up a notch and completes the look!

Leopard Print Accessories 

Accessorize. Accessorize. Accessorize. When in doubt, accessorize! If you're nervous to play with a new pattern - try it out as an accessory first. A playful scarf. A hand bag. A pair of sunglasses. All three if you're feeling ready! We know new prints can sometimes feel out-of-comfort-zones, and playing with accessories is a good place to start!

Leopard Print + Handmade Turquoise Jewelry

One of our favorite Lu-looks is Lu's handmade turquoise jewelry with a leopard print boutique clothing item. It is the bold and beautiful pairing we all love to see. Something about the beaded turquoise gemstones, mixed metals and leather all accent the leopard print perfectly. Try out one of Lu's current turquoise pieces to see what we mean!

Leopard Print Shoes + Boutique Clothing Outfit 

A pop of print in a shoe is the way to work a new look! You'll be strutting into this fashionable look in no time. Lu loves finding fun shoes that fit the vibe of her boutique fashion looks. Some of her favorite spots to shop for fun shoe finds are: 

Off Broadway Shoes

Steve Madden Shoes

Nordstrom Rack 

Leopard Print + Additional Print like Stripes or Flowers

If you're ready for a real leopard print boutique fashion vibe, try a different pattern paired with the leopard print! We suggest playing with matching, complementary or neutral colors in the second print. A good example is our brown, cream and white flower top with rouged neckline that matches the colors of the leopard print pant.

Another classic example is a softly striped button up shirt in a neutral color and black tank beneath that doesn't distract but rather "complements" the leopard look.

Leopard print barrel pants with striped top
For a more bold look - try a color that complements the browns, blacks and cream in the leopard print. A suggestion is a turquoise (like a turquoise top or jewelry) or a red like in Lu's pairing of red stripe shirt with leopard barrel jeans!

And of course, if a striped shirt in a color feels too much. You can always pair it down with a solid block red or turquoise top and leopard print pant!
