I've got a brown leopard print skirt but nor sure what colour to wear with it other than black... any ideas? I can't find a black top that looks ok!

Red.

White, cream and brown might be worth looking at. Or a contrasting shade like turquoise, jade or yellow if you're feeling braver.

Red. But I don't think I'd wear a red top with leopard print skirt. More red shoes or bag.

Coral the shade with a hint of orange or yellow

Gold.

puglife15 · 06/07/2016 05:22

Dark teal, charcoal or cream

But I think you have to be careful with how you style it especially going with a colour other thn black. I'm picturing a cream cashmere looser fit sweater or a dark teal/petrol fluid silk tee tucked in. But obviously depends on the shape and hue of the skirt.

Beige, cream, very light dust pink.

Gold or fuchsia if you're feeling extremely brave

Personally, I'd keep it classic and stick with black or cream. There's enough going on in the skirt. It doesn't need to be competing for attention with anything else.

AuntieMaggie · 06/07/2016 08:54

It's a pencil skirt - about knee length. I've been trying to find a black top to go with it but struggling to find the right style

Pink would be nice, but plain: as burnishedsilver says, there's enough going on in the skirt.

Avid leopard print wearer here Smile
I generally go for black, but it literally goes with most colours. Chocolate brown, gold, white...
I try and do same colour top and shoes though if it's a skirt or pants as you can start looking too 'busy'

I like the grey casual and the pink for going out :)

Depends on your colouring and what the occasion is.

I think cream and light pink is more classy

Queenbean · 06/07/2016 09:22

Please don't wear red with leopard print, you'll look like an, ahem, lady of the night

polyhymnia · 06/07/2016 09:22

Would stick with black cream or grey personally.

polyhymnia · 06/07/2016 09:22

And definitely not red or hot pink!

DameXanaduBramble · 06/07/2016 09:24

Love white with leopard print.

Charitygirl1 · 06/07/2016 10:04

Anything warm (ie yellow) toned. So if red, then a warm poppy/geranium red. All Browns/beiges.

Judydreamsofhorses · 06/07/2016 10:09

Leopard print is a neutral! I think the "Bet Lynch/lady of the night" associations are mainly long gone. I often wear a leopard print skirt with a Breton top, opaques and flats, either Chelsea boots or loafers.

Lottapianos · 06/07/2016 13:12

Caitlin Moran says that she treats leopard print as a neutral, so wears absolutely anything with it. I very much agree with her

Lucked · 06/07/2016 13:14

I had one and wore it with black (I like tan and black), cream and mustard.

burnishedsilver · 06/07/2016 14:10

I think leopard print is a neutral in small amounts, like for bags or shoes. If you treat it as a neutral on a larger area it can end up looking garish.

PinkyPlumet · 06/07/2016 14:43

Black ,nudes ,red ,cream or white.

Please avoid pink Grin

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 06/07/2016 22:00

I used to have a leopard patterned dress.
I used to match it either red, light pink or mint green.
