How to Style Leopard Sneakers

The Simple Wardrobe Hack That Changed How I Get Dressed:

One thing that's helped me get better at actually wearing more of my clothes is picking one or two pieces to focus on for the week.

It sounds simple, but it's a game changer. Instead of staring at a full closet and feeling like I have nothing to wear, I give myself a starting point. This week, it's my leopard sneakers.

I like to look at leopard print like a neutral. The brown tones go with almost everything: black, navy, white, denim. These leopard sneakers are a good pick because they can work for pretty much anything I might be doing or any mood I might be in.

Here are the three outfits I put together, all using pieces I already own.

The best part? The outfits can be pretty simple because the leopard sneakers will act as a statement piece that do all the heavy lifting.

Outfit 1: Minimal Monochrome

Black joggers, black sweatshirt or sweater, a tan tote, and tortoise sunglasses. Let the sneakers be the whole statement.

Outfit 2: Laid Back Casual

Cuffed wide-leg jeans, navy hoodie, tan tote. This is my everyday vibe. The navy and leopard combination is unexpectedly great together!

Outfit 3: Polished & Work Ready

Black trousers, white button-down, grey sweater layered on top, brown shoulder bag & sunglasses. I love how the leopard sneakers add an unexpected pop to this classic look.

How You Can Try This at Home

You don't need new clothes to get more out of your wardrobe. You just need a starting point. Pick one piece this week and challenge yourself to style it three different ways items you already have in your closet.

If you need a little help, use an app like Pocket Style to help you generate outfit ideas that maximize your wardrobe’s potential.

Not only does this trick make getting dressed easier, but it helps you rediscover (or maybe even discover) some your closet’s gems and get more use out of the things you already own.

So, what piece will you focus on next week?
