Leopard Print Dress Outfits
1. Party Animal
The first look in my leopard dress outfits is a super soft and comfy high-low dress. I distinctly remember wearing this to my college graduation party! She features a padded, sweetheart neckline and secure spaghetti straps. Strappy wedge sandals immediately up the ante in a good way. The neckline begs for a necklace, and a chunky choice fills the space. Finally, a faux feather handbag is an extra special touch of texture.

2. You Only Get One Chance to Make a First Impression
Second is a strapless party number with tulle in the bottom half. This is the last piece that I bought from Delias before they went bankrupt! To keep the party vibes going, a super blinged out necklace and heels are a must. I typically wear this in the fall and winter, so I like to include pantyhose and a cardigan to warm this up. A sparkly clutch handbag seals the deal.

3. Look Good, Feel Good
Third is a unique number, with a leopard bustier-style top, but a black high-low bottom. Here, I am playing with the colors that you see in the print, specifically the nude color. To pull that color out, the shoes and necklace do a great job. A dressy black handbag adds some texture, but overall matches everything.

4. Peasantly Pleasing
Fourth is a superb pick for fall and winter, and you can change up the shoes to fit your needs, even for transitional spring weather. With this peasant dress you can totally cinch the waist with a belt! I am going for knee-high boots, but I can think of a million and one choices. The earrings are that tortoise-style that mimics leopard well. Finally, that glossy black handbag is the cherry on top, while keeping the gold accents consistent.

5. The Cold Shoulder Edit
Fifth is a cold-shoulder number. The added ruffles are super chic. The cutout shoes add a lot of interest, and a round handbag is unexpected. For jewelry, this necklace and earring set is quite unique with a fringe-style beading.

6. A Strapless Occassion
This strapless number has a maxi-style high-low bottom. I love her with some strappy wedge sandals. That statement necklace is ultimate bling to fill the neck space. A simple evening clutch is the bag you need here to allow the dress to have its moment.

7. Lost in the Wild
Have you ever seen a dress that has actual leopard animals as the pattern? Since this dress is so busy, I am trying to keep the other details minimal. A gold chain necklace is great, and the bronze color of the handbag goes well with the leopards. Booties and tights are a must for fall and winter, but those are optional.
Dress- H&M
Necklace- H&M
Booties- SM from Sears
Handbag- H&M
optional nude tights
8. Scuba Fanatic
The last look in these leopard dress outfits is a lovely, form-hugging scuba dress. I am including a back picture so that you can see the beautiful lace that goes all the way to the love handles. This dress is so glam on its own! I like basic leather booties and a handbag with this. As I am sure you have noticed by this point, gold accents look great with leopard. So, the finishing touches are the chain necklace and bracelet (which also features leather).

8 Leopard Dress Outfits FAQ
What are the best occasions to wear a leopard dress?
Leopard print dresses can be worn for date nights, parties, vacations, and day-to-night looks. The key is choosing the right cut and accessories to fit the occasion, whether it’s a relaxed peasant style for daytime or a strapless, high-low dress for an evening out.
How can I make a leopard dress look stylish without going overboard?
Balance is everything with leopard print. Pair your dress with solid black, white, or nude accessories. Structured handbags, minimalist jewelry, and simple shoes keep the print the star of the outfit while maintaining an elegant look.
What type of shoes go best with a leopard dress?
Heels, wedge sandals, booties, and knee-high boots all work beautifully. For casual settings, try flats or sneakers. The goal is to complement the print, not compete with it. Gold accents and neutral tones usually match best.
Can leopard print dresses be worn in all seasons?
Yes. In summer, go for strapless or slip styles with sandals. During fall and winter, layer with cardigans, tights, or boots. A peasant dress or long-sleeve version transitions perfectly between seasons with the right accessories.
What jewelry looks best with leopard print?
Gold jewelry pairs exceptionally well with leopard print. Chunky chains, statement necklaces, or hoop earrings add glam without clashing. For cooler tones, bronze or tortoise accessories work just as well.
How do I make a leopard dress work for a formal event?
Opt for structured styles like scuba or bodycon dresses in leopard print. Add strappy heels, a clutch, and a bold necklace for a polished finish. Keeping other accessories sleek ensures the look stays classy rather than costume-like.
I hope that this look book gives you plenty of ideas and leaves you feeling your best. Are you into the high-low style? Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
