Those Ganni Leopard Print Pants Styled 12 Ways for Spring
The fashion gods have spoken, and leopard print is everywhere again. Although it’s a staple in any edgy fashion personality’s wardrobe (including my own!), it’s come back with a force, via Ganni’s very popular (and mostly sold out) denim version.
I firmly believe that leopard print is always ‘in’, but the leopard pants–a denim version in particular–are very much a micro-trend at the moment. I don’t suggest you go out and get the $350 designer version.
There are many dupes and more affordable versions available and linked at the end of this post! Also check my latest post on how to style cheetah print pants for fall!

Classic Styling
Of course, leopard print pants are anything but classic. however, if you connect to a more classic style, there are a few key elements to turn to tame this wild print.
Classic button front shirts and simple blazers are at the forefront of classic style. Add a structured purse or bucket bag with a ballet flat or simple chic heel to complete the classic styling.
Relaxed/Natural Styling
Relaxed style is defined by looser clothing, utilitarian fabrics such as denim, comfortable footwear and a more natural, earthy-toned palette.
Of course, what’s more natural than animal print? Paired with loose tops, cross body or voluminous tote and easy going, you make these pants look cosy.
Preppy Styling
Preppy and leopard print pants? They have nothing in common. However, mixing leopard print jeans outfits with preppy details can definitely work. A lady-like purse, low patent pumps and a cardigan your grandma will love can do the trick.
And pops of red not only complement a classic leopard print, but it’s a staple colorpop that preppy ladies know well.
Sporty Styling
Sneakers and sweats with leopard print jeans? Yes please!
Keeping the tones of the sneakers with ones you find in the print helps. As does a sporty purse in a pop of orange. A chain necklace will up the ante and turn your sporty leopard outfit into a sporty-chic one!
Edgy Styling
Leopard is wild on it’s own, but why not play up it’s natural state with rock ‘n roll elements to give it an even edgier look?
Vibrant reds, classic rock sneakers like Vans, a band tee, moto boots and of course leather or leather-like fabrics are all known to women who prefer an edgier style like myself.
Play around with these elements separately, or try to mix up to 2, depending on how far you want to take your leopard rock look!
trendy/Contemporary Styling
Not a fashion style per se, but when writing about how to style leopard print jeans that are on-trend at the moment, it’s hard not to harness into a full on trendy look.
Red with leopard print is the fashionista combo right now, so why not add a trendy black vest and Adidas sneakers? Trendy, but a bit edgy, while not looking too fashion-victim if you ask me. The aviator sunglasses just add a touch of cool-girl/woman factor.
Romantic Styling
You may think leopard jeans outfits can’t be softened, but there’s nothing like pastels and soft fabrics and frills to do the trick.
Now the first outfit does exemplify all that is romantic, including the sweet shoes and blouse’s flounce. But that doesn’t mean you can’t add a little spice.
You can take a more creative romantic style approach with a soft cardigan in a bright pink hue and a soft gold ballet flat.
Quirky/Creative Styling
Leopard print jeans or pants are quirky, so you can play that element up a bit if you’re so inclined. I mean, I am, since I my style is a bit edgy/rock meets a creative relaxed look.
Leopard print looks fabulous with many bright colors and teal green and yellow are no exceptions! A loose groovy band tee, fun earrings and a quirky purse are all surprising elements to support this style.
