20 Aug Cubicle Chic: 3 Ways to Wear Leopard Print to the Office

Season after season, leopard is on trend. And why not? It’s a fun print that has serious personality. However, in the office or not, it is still a difficult print to wear. It’s one of those patterns that if done correctly, is very chic, but if executed poorly can be quite unflattering.

The pros certainly outweigh the cons and it’s worth trying this eternal trend. Here’s how to wear leopard in the workplace.

Shirt / Skirt / Earrings / Belt / Bag / Heels

For a corporate look, try a dark, subtle leopard pattern like this Dorothy Perkins skirt. It adds dimension to a simple look without being overwhelming. From a distance you really can’t even tell it’s leopard print! Mix in a silky white skirt {with a belt to cinch the waist}, a pair of fun heels and a Sole Society top handle bag for a professional meets chic style.

Shirt / Skirt / Necklace / Bag / Shoes

For a sprinkling of traditional leopard, inject some style with your footwear. These Nasty Gal leopard loafers are a perfect pick! Add in a pleated skirt balanced by a long sleeve blouse and mix in coordinating accessories like a tortoise shell necklace and tan bag. In this outfit, leopard acts as a neutral so you can essentially wear them with anything.

Shirt / Pants / Earrings / Bag / Shoes

For a bolder, more unexpected look, try a colored leopard print. It’s more visually interesting than the typical beige and black and still gives off that wild spirit. Add in coordinating red loafers and keep the rest of the outfit neutral with cigarette trousers, a sturdy satchel and stud earrings.

How do you wear bold prints to the office? Do you believe in the bolder the better or a more subdued look for 9 to 5?
