And just like that, leopard print is back in the spotlight. I, for one, have never fully shelved the fun print in my own closet, having continuously worn leopard-print loafers for over a decade now. I’m not one to go all out with a print, so a pair of shoes makes it easier to incorporate. That said, you might be hesitant to try a bold, leopard-print piece, but equipped with some simple tips, you can pull it off with ease.

One such tip I swear by when I want to try a statement print is to get familiar with what colors it pairs with best. In the case of leopard, one could easily wear it with any color, but there are some key hues that are *chef’s kiss*. From classic black and gray to striking red, keep scrolling to check out five chic colors to pair with the leopard-print trend this season, along with some stylish visual inspiration as your guide.
