Robert Kamau/GC ImagesNever do we ever think of leopard print as being a subtle fashion statement.
If you usually reserve the timeless trend for larger pieces like, say, a furry overcoat, a structured jacket or even a body con cocktail dress—you're not alone. While centering your look around a key spotted piece is one way to incorporate the trend, it's not the only way. If you're Selena Gomez or Gigi Hadid, you've adopted a less aggressive stance on the bold pattern. As footwear, a good leopard print basically goes with anything.
Okay, so Gigi is far from low-key here (it's just not in her DNA), but by following her style code you can achieve a low-key casual look, ideal for flying under the radar. For a pulled-together aesthetic, pair leopard loafers with a super-simple rolled jeans and T-shirt combo. White works, but for a lower-key vibe, try black or grey instead. A matching overcoat and baseball cap in the same shade will complete your incognito attire.
The weekend is a cause for celebration, always, and that carefree excitement is best when carried over into your weekend uniform. If you're running around town like Emma Roberts, a bootie in a leopard fabric is both fun and practical. To complete your errand-running look, throw on your go-to jeans and a fun graphic tee. Done and done!
Just like Selena, you are busy, busy, but that's no reason to look sloppy—especially if you're catching an international flight out of town. Pointed-toe leopard flats are a touch more sophisticated than a round-toe version, so your casual airport style should match. Keep it simple with cigarette pants, a billowy white blouse and a sophisticated topper, like the singer's duster. Sophisticated cat-eye sunnies will throw shade in all the right ways.
Miranda Kerr knows that when your shoes are this good, little else needs to be done. Repeat after us: A two strap leopard heel is not to be competed with. Keep your outfit ultra-clean and casual. Denim fabric up top is a timeless choice, whether it's a button down and skinny jeans, like Miranda's outfit, or a full-on denim jumper.
Demi Lovato rarely does casual, and god bless her for that. For those days when you're really feeling yourself and in the mood to step it up, slip into your leopard pumps. Pair the sexy shoes with a bodycon dress in a soft fabric, like Demi's army green suede number. Play up the leopard and throw in a coordinating leopard clutch to amp up the drama.
