How to Rock Your Leopard Print Skirt Over 50 with Flair
Hey there, gorgeous ladies! Leopard print has always been a fashion favorite. Many of us have that go-to leopard print top in our closet that we turn to, regardless of the latest trends. As I mentioned in my previous post, How to Wear Leopard Print Head to Toe Over 50, this bold pattern is having a huge moment this year, making it the perfect time to showcase your leopard print style even more this summer!
The Leopard Print Revolution
Not too long ago, leopard print was often overlooked by many women, particularly those over 50, who tended to favor more sophisticated styles. Today, animal prints have become a bold fashion statement embraced by women of all ages. Dominating street style, they are now a must-have in every wardrobe.
Taking advantage of this stylish trend, I decided to bring out a midi leopard print skirt hanging in my wardrobe. Summer is the season for skirts and light fabrics, so I am thrilled to share how I styled this piece to inspire your leopard print looks.
Choosing the Perfect Leopard Print Skirt
1. Small Print Matters
When shopping for a leopard print skirt, look for high-quality fabric with a small print. Smaller prints soften the boldness of the look, creating a more refined style.
2. Midi Skirts for the Win
Midi skirts are universally flattering and suit most body types. They add a chic touch to leopard print. Opt for flowing fabrics for better movement, breathability, and a casual vibe. Choose a length that highlights the most flattering part of your legs.

Styling Your Leopard Print Skirt
Leopard print skirts are often paired with neutral colors like white, black, or beige to highlight the pattern. But if you want to take your look to the next level, pair it with bold colors. Leopard print works well with nearly every color—green, yellow, fuchsia, pink, red, or blue. Mixing these hues with leopard print creates stylish and eye-catching outfits. My personal favorite is red; it adds a touch of sophistication and flair.
Today, I paired my leopard print skirt with a red, long-straight blazer to make a fashion-forward statement.
To create a striking contrast and accentuate the brown hues in the leopard print, I paired the blazer with a bold brown statement belt.
Beige patent leather slingback shoes and a beige handbag perfectly complement the outfit, offering a lovely contrast to the brown hues in the print. They add a touch of lightness to balance the boldness of the ensemble, creating a harmonious and refined look.
Slingback shoes are a hot trend this season; check out my previous post, Trendy Shoes for Women Stealing the Spotlight Right Now, for more details.
To top it off, I added brown cat-eye sunglasses for an extra touch of style and to emphasize the brown tones throughout the ensemble. Sunglasses are the ultimate finishing touch for any outfit. For more insights, check out my post, How Important Are Sunglasses to Complement Your Look.
