How to Wear Leopard for the Holidays

holiday outfits with leopard - love these leopard jeans on interesting plans blog

I can’t get enough of leopard and I’m not sorry about it! Today I’m sharing some ways to wear leopard for the holidays.  Unlike sequins and velvet, leopard is something I’ll wear beyond the holidays as well!!

The outfits I’m sharing are using pieces I’ve styled from Nordstrom. You all know that Nordstrom is one of my go-to stores for on-trend items and perfect for finding holiday styles.  If you need something quick for an upcoming holiday party they have free in store pick up.   They’ll actually bring it out to your car if you’re like me and want to use a drive through for all your local shopping :).

Holiday Party


This first leopard look is great for any holiday party. The camisole is definitely a little sexier so great for any special night out. I’m wearing this camisole in small.  It really has a va-va-voom effect if you wear it with this miracle plunge bra.  If you want something a little more modest, try pairing it with a lace bandeau that gives a little extra coverage.  I love this camisole in leopard, but it comes in tons of other colors.  I layered it under this blazer which I love and have in multiple colors.

The jeans I’m wearing here are Wit and Wisdom.  These jeans are my everyday favorites from Nordstrom.  I’m wearing my usual size, they fit true-to-size, but if you’re between sizes I’d go down.  I paired it all with the perfect staple black heel.  I’ve had this exact pair for 2 years and wear them often, but they somehow look new.  I suggest you get your normal size in these shoes.

The bag I’m wearing here is old but Nordstrom carries several similar black bucket bags.

Christmas Shopping


This more casual outfit is perfect for tackling your holiday shopping.  These leopard jeans are super comfortable to wear while making your list and checking it twice.  These pants will stretch a bit with wear so if between sizes you might consider sizing down, but I’m comfortable wearing my true size.  This cardigan is an awesome layering piece.  It comes in TONS of colors, but I love this neutral option with the leopard pants.  I’m wearing an XS here and would recommend sizing down if you normally bounce between sizes.

For shoes, I’m wearing these Nine West Cap Toe Booties.  I love these shoes because they are a more dressy pair of booties so they give this casual outfit a slightly more polished, put-together look.

Pop of Leopard



Leopard shoes are everywhere this year and leopard booties like the ones here are hard to find in stock.  These specific booties are currently sold out, but these Halogen ones are almost identical.

Again, I love this blazer.  I have it in white, but it sold out, so I got the black version for winter.  I’m wearing XS for reference.  It is well cut and looks tailored.  The tee I linked is similar to the Nordstrom BP one I’ve had for years that is no longer available.   I was so excited when Nordstrom started selling Lou and Grey because they have the softest basics.  If you’re looking for boyfriend jeans, these fit true to size.  They are an ankle fit so they pair well with sock booties for colder months.   I had been on the hunt for a black belt that made a subtle statement.   The Gucci belt is such a stunner, but not in my budget, so this Halogen belt I’m wearing is a great alternative.

Here are some other leopard pieces I love from Nordstrom:
