Wrapped in Leopard

Leopard is everywhere and I can’t get enough of it! It’s my favorite pattern because it adds a pop of fun to any outfit. I incorporate it into a lot of what I wear to mix things up, especially pattern mixing with gingham or stripe. If you’re worried that it’ll look like it clashes (because, #patternmixing), try black and white stripes with a leopard cardigan to ease into pattern mixing. If you stick with all neutrals and just mix the pattern, it might seem a little less crazy-see the photo below. Then, if you’re feeling brave, try it with a pop of pink, red or green in stripes or checks.

I’ve been admiring the longer open leopard cardigans recently and found this sweater on Amazon. At first, I was worried it would be too bulky or too long because it didn’t come in an XS but it fits really well (I’m just a smidge under 5’3″). I purchased it in the color “F-khaki” but they have so. many. colors to choose from. It’s really a fun sweater to mix in with your favorite sports team spirit wear for a trendy and not completely athletic look! Here are a few different ways to style this cardigan…
