4 Ways to Style Leopard Shoes

4 Ways to Style Leopard Shoes

10.19.20

Worried a leopard shoe is too bold for you? Think again! The classic animal print is actually a chic neutral (albeit one with a punch of personality). With a few new options joining our pack this fall—The Mule and The Pointe, both in brand-new spots—we wanted to share a few outfits from women we love that prove just how versatile it is. 

Worn with all black

Let the print be the boldest part of your outfit by styling it with a monochromatic ensemble. We love how it popped with Gaux Girl Kiley Reid's black turtleneck and cropped pants.

Worn with a Bright Color

Thinking you can only pair leopard with neutral colors is a mistake. Copy Grace Atwood's lead and try it on with something equally vibrant (a hot pink sweater in her case).

Worn with a Suit

Leopard can add the perfect amount of playfulness to a more formal look too. We loved seeing how Katie Sturino wore The Heel in Leopard with a two-piece suit.

Worn with a Mini Dress

Art director Sonja Georgevich opted to finish a denim mini with our brand-new Pointes in Leopard Haircalf. The combination of simple denim plus the slightly louder shoe is perfect if you're just easing into leopard.
