We’re here to prove that leopard print is a neutral
If you’ve been on social media recently, you’ve probably heard the phrase “leopard print counts as a neutral!” repeated like a mantra. Stylight is here to tell you that’s 100% true. Despite the boldness of the print and its saucy connotation, the tan, beige, black, and white hues make it perfect as a base for any outfit.
Still not convinced? No problem. We have collected our seven fave examples of leopard print styled as a neutral: scroll on to check them out and learn why they work.
One of the easiest ways of styling a leopard print is through accessories. Pairing a leopard or cheetah print accessory like tights with neutral colours of the same “family”—in this case brown and black—makes for a bold yet understated look.

A “non-print” print might sound like an oxymoron, but we guarantee that at least one item in your closet matches this definition. A “non-print” is a pattern often composed with smaller-scale motifs or similar hues, and from afar might even look like a texture rather than a print. Think of men’s patterned or striped shirts, for example. A striped men’s shirt goes surprisingly well with a pair of leopard print palazzo pants, as the two “non-print” prints complement each other.

For a fuss-free, minimalist look pair your cool-coloured leopard print jeans with an oversized cream jumper that matches the leopard print. Adding a subdued pop of colour, like a pair of cherry red shoes, is the icing on the cake.

For the most daring out here, leopard print is the perfect companion for your boldest, brightest patterns. In Anaïs’ outfit, the leopard print accessories and top serve as a “grounding element” for her floral print blazer and striped trousers, bringing the whole look together. Sure, she could’ve paired the jacket and the trousers with a white top and beige accessories, but isn’t this so much more interesting?

A leopard print statement coat is a wardrobe grail for many of us, for it can take a look from 0 to 100 and make a gloomy day a little bit brighter. With a bold coat like this, it’s best to keep it simple with blacks and matching accessories.

The earthy shades of your favourite leopard print trousers do a great job at “bringing down” even the brightest pinks. Not only that: Bryony’s grandpa-core quilted jacket and the playful broderie collar have a distinctly romantic and sweet vibe, that clashes oh-so-perfectly with the grittiness of the leopard print.
