8 Stylish Ways to Wear a Leopard Scarf
1. Stripes + Leopard
Mixing prints in outfits has been in fashion for a few years now, but if you’re not so sure about doing it yourself, why not start with something simple and easy like leopard and stripes? A striped top with a leopard scarf is easy and always classy with a twist.
Another way to mix these two prints is to wear a cute striped skirt with a leopard scarf.
2. Army Jacket + Leopard
An army jacket is a great casual piece that can match anything in your closet. However, if you want to class up an army jacket a bit, a leopard scarf is a great way to do it. Pair knee-high leather boots with your jacket and scarf and you’ve got a smart outfit that can be worn practically anywhere.
Did you notice that the above outfit also includes a striped top, by the way?
Look how a leopard scarf instantly transforms a simple black outfit and an army jacket. This is such an easy, casual outfit that you can throw it on without thinking too much about it.
The same trick can be done with an army shirt, if you have that instead of a jacket.
3. Emerald Green + Leopard
Emerald green is such a beautiful color and every woman should have a great emerald green clothing piece in her closet. Pair a green top with a leopard scarf for an outfit that would work equally well at the office or on a weekend.
An emerald green skirt is definitely a fashion statement, especially so with a snazzy leopard scarf and a black top, like this great outfit.
4. Chambray + Leopard
A chambray shirt with jeans and boots is a cute enough outfit, but bring it to the next level by adding a leopard scarf.
The next outfit is another great example of a chambray shirt and a leopard scarf, as well as a striped shirt. Casual white shoes keep this outfit playful, but you can just as easily wear it with black flats or brown boots.
Here’s another nice combo of chambray and leopard, but this time with a stylish pair of black leather pants. Such a great balance of glam and casual.
5. Red + Leopard
Leopard is a bold pattern and so is red, so it might feel like a combination that’s just too much, but a leopard scarf is just small enough to not overwhelm an outfit with red in it. For example, this outfit that pairs a red shirt with a leopard scarf is definitely feisty but not tacky at all.
If you prefer a larger separation between a leopard scarf and a red clothing item, try putting white or cream between the two. The next outfit looks really cute with red pants, a white sweater, and a leopard scarf.
And here’s another similar outfit.
6. Mustard Yellow + Leopard
Leopard pairs very well with mustard yellow, especially when you add brown boots to the mix. If you have a mustard yellow cardigan, your leopard scarf will look great with it.
A pencil skirt in mustard yellow looks gorgeous with a leopard scarf. Perfect for work!
7. Shorts + Leopard
If you live in an area where it’s still warm during the fall and winter months, like I do in Texas, it can be a little confusing deciding what to wear. You want to wear fall clothes, but it’s just too hot. A leopard scarf can be a great clothing item to transition your summer outfits into fall outfits. Pair it with a pair of shorts and a simple tee and you’ve got a stylish yet cool outfit that screams autumn!
Here’s another outfit with a leopard scarf and shorts, but also with a bold red shirt. This is a fashionable outfit that could go anywhere, from a play date to a happy hour date.
There’s just so many ways to wear a leopard scarf! Have fun with it and experiment wearing your leopard scarf with various colors and clothes. Try wearing it with pink or coral or whatever color you love! What other ways to wear a leopard scarf can you think of?
