Welcome back, gorgeous! This week for Style it Tuesday, we're diving head-first into one of the most versatile, fun, and totally on-trend pieces we have in the boutique: The Leopard Print Skort.
Why the skort? Because it gives you the sassy style of a mini-skirt with the comfortable freedom of shorts. Itâs a win-win for our "Mom Boss" and "Boujie Boho Babe" clients who need a look that can keep up with their busy lives without sacrificing an ounce of style.
Ready to unleash your wild side? Here are four fabulous ways to style your new favorite leopard skort, taking it from ultra-casual to date-night chic!
Â
1. The Effortlessly Chic: Weekend Errand Run
Â
The secret to styling a bold print is often pairing it with a simple, solid neutral.
-
The Top: A crisp, solid black or white tee (like the one in your photo!) is always a classic choice. For an elevated look, try a soft, oversized white slub-knit tee tied in a small side-knot or a tucked-in black bodysuit.
-
The Layer: For cooler mornings or a little structure, drape an oversized denim jacket over your shoulders. A light gray or black cardigan also works beautifully.
-
The Shoes: White canvas sneakers or simple, neutral-toned flat sandals (like your flip-flops/thongs!) keep this look grounded and comfortable for all-day wear.
-
The Accessories: A simple gold layered necklace (as seen in the photo) and a large, neutral canvas tote or a small crossbody bag.
ChiChis Style Tip: Leopard acts as a neutral! Don't be afraid to mix in other earthy tones like olive green or soft beige for a rich, elevated look.

2. The Boho Boss: Lunch with the Girls
Â
Elevate the look by playing with texture and a touch of the bohemian flair we love!
-
The Top: Swap the basic tee for a textured top. Think a black lace-trim camisole or a slouchy, linen-blend blouse in a cream or rust color. A black, off-the-shoulder top brings the perfect date-night vibe.
-
The Layer: A long, open-front black kimono or a duster cardigan adds dramatic movement and a touch of elegance, beautifully playing off the skort's print.
-
The Shoes: A pair of strappy block-heeled sandals in black or a cognac brown instantly dress up the look while keeping you stable. For full boho, try an espadrille wedge.
-
The Accessories: A wide-brimmed felt hat, large hoop earrings, and a stack of colorful beaded bracelets.
Â
3. The Print-Mixing Pro: Edgy & Fun
Â
Ready to get creative? Pairing leopard with other prints is surprisingly easy and incredibly stylishâjust stick to a shared color palette (black, brown, and white/cream).
-
The Top: The best print to mix with leopard? Stripes! Try a classic black-and-white striped fitted tee. Alternatively, go for a cool, vintage-inspired graphic band teeâit adds a little rock-and-roll edge that perfectly balances the feminine skort.
-
The Layer: Throw on a faux leather jacket in black. This adds instant edge and brings a polished texture to the outfit.
-
The Shoes: Finish with black combat boots or even a pair of sleek, low-cut black ankle booties to nail that edgy, downtown look.
-
The Accessories: A chunky silver chain necklace or a black belt bag worn across the chest.
Â
4. The Pop of Color: Fierce & Flirty
Â
Leopard doesn't just work with neutrals! It looks incredible with a bright, solid colorâespecially one that complements the warm tones in the print.
-
The Top: Go for a vibrant burnt orange, soft red, or hot pink fitted knit top or a turtleneck (depending on the weather). Because the skort is short, a pop of color up top keeps the outfit fun and energetic.
-
The Shoes: Keep the footwear simple to let the top and skort shine. Nude pointed-toe flats or low pumps will lengthen your leg and keep the look sophisticated.
-
The Accessories: Simple, small stud earrings and a coordinated lipstick shade to match your colorful top!
