Leopard trend: how to wear the animal print with style!

How to adopt the leopard trend in 2024

Leopard print, wild and bold, makes a strong comeback this season as one of 2024's top fashion trends. A symbol of character and originality, it appears both on runways and in the streets, ready to spice up our wardrobes. However, the line between sophistication and excess is thin—leopard print can be worn with style and modernity, but only if integrated into your looks with subtlety.

If you're not quite ready to dive headfirst into the leopard universe, start with shoes and accessories. A pair of leopard ballet flats, leopard booties, or even a leopard handbag can transform a simple outfit into a stylish and trendy look. This article offers practical tips to help you master the leopard print look, with ideas on how to pair shoes and accessories harmoniously. We'll guide you in making the right combinations to create balanced outfits while steering clear of any fashion missteps.

Leopard ballet flats : subtility and elegance

If there is one mid-season shoe trend that has gained popularity in recent months, it is ballet flats. After seeing ballet flats with straps, sequins or even models inspired by classical ballet, leopard ballet flats are taking first place among shoe trends this year. They are an excellent starting point for those who want to integrate this animal print gently.

Our Amelie leopard velvet ballet flats with strap are ideal for a casual chic look. Pair them with a mid-length skirt and a fitted top for an elegant look, or with baggy jeans and an oversized t-shirt for a more street and casual look. The mix of styles works wonderfully, because leopard ballet flats perfectly balance femininity and casualness. They offer a subtle way to follow the leopard trend without going overboard, while bringing a sophisticated touch to your everyday outfits.

Leopard ankle boots: boldness in every step

Ankle boots are a mid-season must-have. Flat, with heels, Chelsea style or cowboy boots, they return every fall and winter with new variations, quickly becoming a key piece of any well-designed wardrobe. This year, leopard ankle boots are at the top of the trends and bring a bold touch to any outfit. Their wild print, both elegant and original, goes perfectly with many styles. Whether you are a fan of an original look or you prefer a more classic and timeless style, you'll definetly a pair of leopard ankle boots that will seduce you.

For a assertive and elegant look, we recommend our Amandine leopard heeled cowboy ankle boots. The leopard print of these ankle boots allows you to adopt a bold style without putting too much effort. Pair them with cropped jeans to highlight the ankle boots and an oversized white shirt for the perfect contrast between the simplicity of the top and the strong personality of the shoes. It’s an ideal outfit for going out with elegance while displaying a touch of modernity.

By choosing leopard ankle boots, you instantly inject personality into your look while remaining in a current and elegant dynamic.

Leopard sneakers: a casual but stylish look

If you prefer a more casual style, but don't want to give up the trendy side, leopard sneakers are the perfect choice to combine comfort and style. The leopard print takes over our sneakers, transforming this wardrobe basic into a strong and original piece. Whether the print covers the entire shoe or is used in small touches, the leopard pattern adapts to all styles and desires.

Our Alia beige leopard and black storm sneakers with velcro are perfect for those who want to display a touch of boldness while maintaining a comfortable step. With their pony-effect print and practical velcro straps, these sneakers perfectly combine practicality and trend. They are easily integrated into various looks and can be worn both on a daily basis and for more casual occasions.

For a casual but polished style, pair them with a denim ensemble. Blue or black denim creates a perfect contrast with leopard print, while remaining in a range of neutral, easy-to-wear colors. Add a pair of black socks, slightly visible above the sneakers, for the final touch that refines the whole look and gives it a trendy and sought-after dimension.

The leopard bag: a must-have accessory

For those who aren't ready to embrace leopard print on their clothes or shoes, leopard accessories are a great option. The leopard handbag, for example, is one of the simplest yet stylish ways to adopt this trend. Small but impactful, a well-chosen bag is often enough to enhance a look that is too basic.

Our Raven camel camera bag, with its leopard print shoulder strap, is the perfect accessory for those who want to add a wild touch to their outfit while remaining subtle. Wear it with a total black or beige look to create a nice contrast. The leopard bag is also the ideal ally to break up an outfit that is too conservative or classic. In the blink of an eye, it gives personality and relief to your sets. Whether for a casual outing or for a more chic outfit, the leopard bag is a must-have that should not be overlooked.
