How to Style A Leopard Print Midi Skirt
Lately, I've been on the hunt for more interesting outfit pairings other than the usual jeans & sweater. When the temperatures drop, it's always a challenge, isn't it? There are a few pieces that every gal should have in their closet, that give your wardrobe longevity. I'm a big believer that a turtleneck can go a long way. I've been wearing mine a lot lately. So I figured, why not partner it up with a leopard print midi skirt for an alternative to jeans. And you know what? I love it. Here are a few quick tips for styling a leopard print midi skirt outfit.
1 | Bring in Tones that Match the Skirt
This day and age it's okay to wear black and brown together. It used to be passe but the style rules have shifted and it's completely acceptable. Being that leopard print has black, brown, and tan/khaki colors, these colors wear as neutrals. Therefore, you can get away with pulling in similar tones to complete your outfit.

2 | Mix it with Neutral Pieces to Tone Down the Look
If you feel that an animal print skirt reads as too busy, there is an easy way to remedy that. Simply pair the leopard print maxi skirt with a neutral blazer, a solid colored top and shoes, which will help tone down the leopard print. The same can be said for any animal print, such as snake skin, or zebra print.

3 | Pair it with the right shoes for work or weekend
My favorite part of a leopard print maxi skirt is that I can take it from a meeting to the weekend. You can too! It just depends on how you're styling it. For work, wear it with heels, booties, or knee high boots. Add on a blazer, a long wool coat, or a sleeveless vest for a layered look. For the weekend, wear white converse, pointed toe flats, ballet flats or a mule. Pair it with a white tee and a denim jacket or moto jacket.
