Do or Don't: Leopard print flats

I've always been hesitant when it comes to leopard print (too Mrs. Robinson), but recently I've spotted a few gorgeous women wearing leopard-print flats. They seem like a perfect subtle way to work a bit of sexiness into your ensemble. I'd love to wear them with regular jeans and sweaters this spring, and feel instantly womanly and alluring.

What do you think? Would you wear them? Here are five cute ones: Lola, Daniblack, Loeffler Randall, Cole Haan and French Sole.

  2. Nah, but only because I'm not a flats kind of girl. I got myself some leopard prints socks to start out slow, and then ventured into a leopard print button down shirt that I layer under sweaters and things, just letting it peek out a bit. Small doses, baby steps!

    Do it! I have leopard print gloves and a leopard print wallet; I'm not gutsy enough to wear it in a bigger dose than that either ;-)

  5. leopard print, like most animal prints, are definitely cute in small amounts (accessories)... anything more than that is a bit much for me.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I wear my Tory Burch reva flats in patent leopard almost every day. Leopard is a classic print do it goes with everything! Mine are getting so worn down, I'm looking at investing in a Kate Spade pair or Jcrew. A must!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I do like it on other people but just don't think it suits me!! And I can't do flats either - cute on other people, just wrong on me!!!

    ReplyDelete
  8. try them, you'll feel sassy! to me they are classic! i have a pair and love them!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yes. I love leopard prints but in a small dose!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Definitely a DO! I think the only issue is finding the right print with the right fabric and the right style. Putting those three things together is hard. I think I've found a pair on Zappos but I'm still searching.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I have a very confy pair from Forever21, bought them in Brussels, wear them often and just love them.
    I normally wear them with plain black/brown/camel sober outfit.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Do it! Just the right amount of animal print - any more and I think it loses it's classiness. Such a fun way to spice things up a little.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I also have a leopard print scarff! I like the leopard print pattern in accessories. And the rule to match it is the same for the flats: sober plain outfit

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love them and actually have a pair. Haven't worn them much because they hurt my feet, bummer!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh definitely! I love a bit of leopard print.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Since I usually wear heels, leopard print flats are a great alternative... still sassy, but also comfy. Plus, they are an easy way to punch up basics. Go for it!! I got mine at J. Crew and love them.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I have a pair too. I consider them one of the great joys of life!

    ReplyDelete
  18. DO DO DO DO!!!! Leopard print flats are so chic! And they make any look phenomenal.

  20. My absolute fav print! I have a scarf, wedges and flats in leopard print. I feel like they instantly dress up anything you're wearing. They're playful but work appropriate :)

  21. I love leopard flats! I fell in love with the Steve Madden Madee leopard flats this fall and wear them all the time. Definitely recommend them!

  22. I recently purchased a Sam Edelman pair and my feet have never been the same. (Needless to say, I love them!)

  23. Love the leopard flats. I feel that bold prints can easily be over-used- this is settle yet still making a statement!

  24. Oh yes!!! I have a pair and I love wearing them with jeans and a tee:) Btw: How adorable is that whole second outfit? Love! happy Tuesday. xo

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh I've always loved that look.

    ReplyDelete
  26. For me they are a definite DO! I got some earlier this year and have been loving them. I feel like they make some of my otherwise simple outfits feel a little more classed up when I wear them:)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yup! They are a staple in my closet and will put a pep in your step all day long. I just included them in a style post last Thursday- paired with jeans and a black button down.

    ReplyDelete
  28. They are fantastic! I find myself wearing them as a neutral because the print is in such a small dose. I say go for them.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I just bought a pair for $14 at Target this weekend! They are super comfy!

  30. Yes! I rotate three pairs to avoid total destruction of them. I wear them probably every day. They are comfortable, they literally go with everyone (you can't beat a shoe that has black AND brown!) and I think they are pretty hip. I also have a pair of leopard print booties.

    I thought leopard print flats were a great compromise and got a pair a few years ago at the Gap, but my husband hates them and says that no matter how subtle, leopard print screams "cougar". LOL. So they now stay in the back of my closet. Boo.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love leopard flats!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh, I love them. I have a pair and I wear them late March when it's a bit warmer out. They literally go with any outfit while adding a lot of sassiness to it :))

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yes, do it! To me, when it comes to leopard print, it has to be more like 'accents', I have a foulard I got at H&M and I find it very stylish...Leopard print flats will style up any outfit instantly.

    On today's post, I talk about one of my favorite guilt-free reality tv shows Giuliana&Bill...Any fans out there?

    Bisous!

  35. This is a trend that's on its way out. These were popular 6-12 months ago, but now it's so overdone.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I have a cute cheap pair from K-mart and you'd be amazed how nice they are. They are even peep toe. A very sexy look with red toe nail polish. Great way to be subtly adventurous.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Definitely a DO! I used to feel the same way, but a leopard flat is such a subtle way to incorporate such a fun, sexy pattern.I pretty much consider leopard print a neutral and wear my flats with almost everything. I bought a pair for $10 at F21, so in case I didn't love them I wasn't out a ton of money. Now that I know what a staple they are in my wardrobe, I'm going to invest in some higher quality ones. Gotta love F21 for experimenting with trends! :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. I always have a pair of leopard print flats handy! Right now I have a pair from Jeffrey Campbell that I bought almost 6 years ago. Love them! I tend to treat leopard print as a neutral, I love it.

  39. i am all for leopard print flats and have been looking for the perfect pair for a while. leopard is a bit fussy. i find myself liking leopard pants, shoes and clutches (not together, of course!), but i just can't get into leopard print tops or scarves.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I have a pair I got at Banana Republic and I love them. My daughter told me that I was rocking them, so that was all the endorsement I need! ;-) They're the first animal print item I've ever owned.

    ReplyDelete
  41. TOMS has cute leopard print flats now too :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Do! Do! Do! I have a pair from Madewell and they're hands down my favorite shoe. One thing to be aware of - if you go for furrier ones (seems weird to say, but you know what I mean), they sometimes shed a bit (so I just try and avoid stubbing my toe a lot when I wear them).

  44. Yes! I have a pair from Target from 1 or 2 years ago and I love them. They make a boring tee and jeans look so much cuter. They are also super comfy.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love leopard. I feel like it is a neutral print and works great dressed up or down, so I say they are a YES!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I had a pair of leopard print flats I wore through and I am definitely in the market to replace them. I think they can be so chic when done well.

    So funny because I bought the Matisse leopard flats after seeing them on your blog last season :) I heart them! These leopard flats are very muted and neutral. A good place to start. Or, get the ones that are at Target right now so you don't have to make a huge investment. Leopard print flats go very well with all the colored jeans that are out and about too.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love my leopard ballet flats. I just make sure the rest of my outfit is pretty demure to avoid looking too tacky!

    ReplyDelete
  50. So funny you wrote about this today. I had to get rid of my favorite pair of leopard-print flats last year (bought for $10 at Payless in 2008) and have searched for a YEAR for a pair to replace them. Found such pair on Sunday at Nordstrom Rack, and I'm giddy about all the outfits I can wear them with. They totally add a pop of color and whimsy to any outfit. My favorite is to wear them with a black skirt and black tights.

    They are great and give an edge to a very basic outfit (jeans and a t-shirt). Pretty Ballerina has the best! They are too popular these days, though.

  54. LOVE! any pop of pattern or color on a shoe is a good thing. my work wardrobe stays pretty basic, so i'm always up for fun shoes to spice it up... wearing some Steve Madden ZEBRA print shoes today, and already got a few compliments on my way in the door :D

    ReplyDelete
  55. I got some leopard flats a couple of months ago, despite never wearing animal print, and I love them! only a cheap pair but I wore them all through winter- so cute and dainty!

  56. I think they're adorable and a great way to subtly mix in a fun print. I've had my eye on a pair from Madewell and Seychelles.

    Oh, yes! I bought myself a pair of Kate Spade leopard print flats last fall and *adore* them. I wear them with cropped skinny pants and jeans--totally cute, especially when I'm wearing boyish/neutral pieces with them. Go for it!

  61. Having grown up in Africa I've never quite been able to make my peace with animal print. It's something for decoration in game lodges.

  62. A big, big do from me! They're gorgeous and versatile...I see some shoe shopping in the near future. Cannot wait for spring!

    I'd say it depends on the person. My sister ROCKS them. She works as a special ed aide for two wonderful little first-graders, and so flats are her go-to shoe, and since they are close to the ground, being so little, she likes wearing spunky shoes, since the kids notice shoes and socks! :)

    As for me, I'm not an animal print sort of person, so I wouldn't wear them. I love a good ballet flat, but I generally go solid jewel tone.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I've worn mine so much! I love them, until they started stinking. What is it with ballet flats?? Oh I have to take off my shoes, excuse me while I go wash my feet! Where is your bathroom? Groan!

    ReplyDelete
  65. So foreign to me for these not to be considered a classic? I really didn't know until recently (reading this, and another's blog a while back) that some women were on the fence about them. I think they are a staple. Try them with skinny crop jeans, and a classic black v neck. You'll be in love!

  68. I think maybe I'm the only one who says no!!! I'm not a huge leopard print fan, I like it in doses but some reason I just cannot get into leopard print on shoes. I think it just doesn't look right. It never really sits well with me.
    I saw a girl yesterday wearing those Jeffrey Campbell (here) leopard wedges and I was just horrified. I just feel like they can't be taken seriously in the slightest (though I know you cannot approach clothes/shoes in that regard). Maybe it's just me (and it seems like it is just me seeing how everyone commented "YES!!") but I just think they're cheesy.

  72. I just bought some from Target, and I love them! I owned a pair a few years ago and loved them then too, so much that I wore them til they had a hole! I was so happy to find another pair at Target for cheap. (I'm on a budget!) i think they are the perfect way to add a little sass to an outfit.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Actually I have Tory Burch leopard flats and I'm madly in love with them - they're such a lovely pair for fall and winter!!!! Definitely Yes!!!

    :)

    ReplyDelete
  74. I vote do!! I find that they are quite trendy though so I wouldn't invest a ton. I just purchased a pair from payless and I'm itching to wear them! It's too early for Spring fever...

  76. Definite do. I also have a pair of zebra flats that I love!

    I'm with you on the Mrs. Robinson thing. I would love a leopard shirt or dress, but I'm not ready to embrace it yet...

    Although, tell me you don't love this play on animal print:

    Also, that is probably the coolest pregnant belly picture ever. Love the whole look!

  85. i just bought some leopard print loafers- wore them to the So Cal BLogger Meet-Up and they were a HIT.. so so soooooo cute! and the best part, everyone SWORE i got them at Anthro, but really, i found them for 40 bucks online! SCORE!

  86. Do! I think shoes may be the best way to do animal prints--so subtle.

  87. Lauren C.T.11:37 AM

    I totally agree with you. Leopard is risky business... If you're over a certain age or have a certain body type, it feels either too Mrs. Robinson or too Delta Burke. I'm all for the flats though. I don't like haircalf or these new slipper/loafer things that people are wearing, but on a nice, simple pair of ballets, it works.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Do! I love the subtlety of animal print on a shoe.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I bought the cole haan slipper flats this fall and they seem to go with everything! so comfortable too! I was hesitant bc I am generally not trendy. go for it!

    ReplyDelete
  90. I love them. Only, I've been calling mine Cheetah print, lol. But I have a pair I bought from Target, and they are one of my favorite pairs of flats that I own. I've actually been thinking about getting some more, because the pair I have now are starting to get worn out. That's how much I love them! :)

    ReplyDelete
  91. LLLLLLLLLOve the leopard print flats...I'm like that too...afraid to look too vampy in leopard print clothing, but shoes I can do! I have the most comfy pair--and they're a really cheap payless brand, but I LOVE them!

    Totally unrelated to the leopard print flats post (which I'm a fan of by the way!)

    As a HUGE fan of leopard print, I wear my leopard flats all of the time! I'm very careful about only using a small amount of leopard though because I do think it can look tacky if overdone. Flats are a great to way to add a little something to an otherwise conventional outfit!

  100. I just bought the exact leopard flats on Leigh- they're from Target. I'm normally not a fan of animal print (too flashy for me) but these ones are girly and subtle and look great with a simple outfit, like a plain black v-neck and skinny jeans.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Definitely a DO! Leopard print is so fun. Plus, it always makes me feel a little bit sexier. Flats or a belt are perfect if you don't want to wear too much!

  112. I had a lovely pair I bought about four years ago and adored them. Thought they instantly chic-ified my jeans and wore them till they fell apart, literally! See a lot more in shops recently and tempted to replace though now that I see them on more people it kind of puts me off! I did love them. Ah! The vagaries of fashion.

  120. I will if I can find the right ones. I have big feet and I have to be careful ! Some shoes that are cute small aren't that cute big : ( Also these were on Oprah's must have in your wardrobe list a few years ago : )

  121. A resounding DO! I've been on the lookout for the perfect pair for a while.

  122. super chic, and i love 'em on others, but i look like a schlub in flats. my calves are too, um, hearty. too much English peasant stock in my genes, i guess.

  123. I have a Kenneth Cole pair that are a more subtle leopard print in patent, and I love them! They feel more like a neutral shoe, while still being fun!

  124. I do have a pair I got on clearance at J.Crew and I love them. For my big 3-0 my husband and I went to NYC and let me spend way too much on a great pair of leopard print mohair Prada heels! IN LOVE. they go with everything - especially that little black dress.

  136. Just bought some Lucky leopard flats. I haven't taken them off!

  137. I have had a pair in one for or another in my wardrobe for the last 7 years! They go with almost anything. Love the leather jacket in the first photo too!

  138. Oh! I'm so glad you said it! I've always thought animal print was "rawr!" Absolutely no offense to anyone. It's just not my personality. But lately the leopard print flats have caught my eye too. Very interesting. It's the gateway animal print :)

  140. DO! I love leopard print, but I think the prettiest way to wear it is to feature little touches -- like flats or a skinny belt. You don't want to be reminiscent of Scary Spice!

    ReplyDelete
  141. I would definitely wear these! :-) I love leopard print loafers!

  142. I was hesitant too, but i decided I wanted to give it a try and opted for flats rather than heels since I wear flats a lot more. I've only worn them a few times, but that's more due to weather restrictions (I live in Toronto so there's a lot of gunk on the street) than having nothing with which to wear them. I'm finding that they're neutral enough not to overpower an outfit, but add just the right amount of oomph. I can't wait for spring so I can wear them more often!

  144. I like them but don't have any (yet). I've def gotten more into the animal print over the last couple years though. I have a pair of snake print flats from H&M that I love.

  145. do do do!!

    seriously, did anyone reply with a "don't?"

  146. I can't get enough leopard print! scarves, jeans, sweaters!

    ReplyDelete
  147. Leopard print flats are, as far as I'm concerned, a basic. I really think they go with everything, though I'm not sure why!

    ReplyDelete
  148. Definitely a DO! They elevate any outfit. Animal print is timeless and it always looks chic!

  149. We LOVE leopard (when done right, that is)! Flats are a great option, but there are other ways to do it without being too 'Mrs. Robinson' outlined here:

  150. Absolutely! Leopard Print shoes are fantastic, especially flats!

    ReplyDelete
  151. Total do. They're fun.

    ReplyDelete
  152. Got mine from steve madden, love them.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I think it depends on the get-up. If the rest of the ensemble is dressed down, its quite okay to go wild with the shoes. Haha. That's my rule of thumb. That way the eyes all lead to the shoes! :D

    ReplyDelete
  154. I have a pair...and I love them!

    ReplyDelete
  155. Yes yes yes. I recently bought a pair from the Charleston Shoe Company and I love them!

    ReplyDelete
  156. DO. i've been wearing my target ones for a loong time now! they're my favorites, and i can't bear to part with them even though they're wearing out.. need to find a replacement! xo

    ReplyDelete
  157. I was afraid to, seam to me a little bit... tacky? But I wear a pair of leopard print oxfords, wich give a twist to the trend and I'm happy to use them with casual/neutral looks (:

    ReplyDelete
  158. for me, a DO! I'm looking for the perfect pair

    ReplyDelete
  159. A do.
    I love mine!!
    Love, Leigh

    ReplyDelete
  160. I've seen some girls who look cute in them, but I'm not really a fan. Stripes or plaid for me, please!

    ReplyDelete
  161. yes! they are one of my must have basics along with black ballet flats. they surprisingly go with everything. it sounds weird but its true!

  162. Absolutely a DO! I love my leopard print heels more, but leopard flats are so much fun with straight leg jeans, oregon with cords. :)

    ReplyDelete
  163. I think it is totes cute, but in small doses. The flats are perfect.

    I come in on the side of "No" for these (one of the few). I've never liked the print, and to me they're trendy rather than attractive. Garance Dore did a piece on a pair last year, and since then they've been all over the place (don't get me wrong, Garance is great, but..)! So no! :)

  165. wear what ever makes your happy :) I personally think they're cute :)

  166. Wait a minute?!?! You can be too Mrs. Robinson? I had no idea?!?! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  167. I have a pair from payless that I love. They really become a neutral option in your wardrobe and I reach for them just as often as my black ballet flats.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Leopard print flats are my go to shoe choice. They act like a neutral, but so much more fun! I can wear them with brown OR black OR brown AND black. They liven up conservative outfits, excite everyday jeans and tshirts, and give me a little pep in my step.

    ReplyDelete
  169. leopard print flats are an always. my grandmother always said "leopard is a neutral, darlin'." i wear leopard flats at least 2-3 times a week.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Definitely a DO! They can spice up your casual look!

    ReplyDelete
  171. i actually want to try this leopard flat/loafer trend! :P

    ReplyDelete
  172. I have a cheap pair from Target and wear them when I go out or want to make an outfit a bit fancier! I didn't realize when I bought them how much they actually go with -- I have definitely worn them with half of my closed!

    ReplyDelete
  173. I think for some people it is okay. I would't wear them though.

    ReplyDelete
  174. When I bought my pair, I didn't realize how versatile they were. I wear them with jeans and a bright sweater or black skinnies. They're my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  175. Go for it! I have a pair and I love. :)

    ReplyDelete
  176. Diane Von Fürstenberg says that leopard print is a neutral... and I couldn't agree more! It goes with everything.
    I wear mine with jeans, pencil skirts, dresses, you name it...

    ReplyDelete
  177. I love my leopard print ballet flats... They are super chic and look great with jeans and a tee or a little dress and tights for a night out with the girls :)

  178. I've never been able to do animal print- I agree it can look great on some people but it just doesn't work on me at all- sadly

    ReplyDelete
  179. I don't wear flats so it's not a question for me. I'd go for a belt, gloves, love to top in first picture, My mom has some leopard print earrings and a brooch from the 60's. Hey what's wrong with Mrs. Robinson?

    ReplyDelete
  180. I love all kind of clothes with leopard prints in it! They are gorgeous and match to every season...

    ReplyDelete
  181. This is an interesting topic. I wore leopard print clothing when I was in my early twenties, a vintage leopard fur jacket with bright red lipstick, and it looked cute and artsy. But since then, no way. I find it aging and gaudy, i.e. zsa zsa gabor and ivana trump. Absolutely no offense to anyone, this is just me. I am sure some women could pull it off, but I can't.

    ReplyDelete
  182. I say "yes" - go for it! I have been thinking of getting some leopard flats for a little while now. I love the fact that they go with everything and can add a twist to an otherwise plain outfit.

  185. 100% YES! I've now gone through 3 pairs of leopard print flats. got my most recent ones on Zappos..I think they're by Ann Klein and have a cute bow on them. super comfy and like $60 although I shouldnt know that because Santa brought them ;)

  186. oh my GOSH that pregnant girl looks amazing! i've never seen such a fantastically huuuge belly. she's all baby! what fun (oh, and the shoes are cute too.) xx

    ReplyDelete
  187. I love my leapord print flats they now have a hole in them. It was a sad day when I noticed.
    I've found they go with more things than you expect them to! I feel like I throw them on with everything!
