How to Wear Leopard
Leopard remains one of fashion’s most reliable prints because it changes with you. It can read polished, playful, graphic, or cool, and it works across seasons because it doesn’t need a full outfit built around it. One leopard piece can do the job: it adds texture, breaks up basics, and gives familiar silhouettes a different edge. These are the ways leopard is being worn now.
The Leopard Shoe
A leopard shoe brings instant personality to a look. It’s the kind of piece that makes everything else feel more interesting — whether you’re leaning into soft neutrals, classic black, or a hit of bold color. Set against fluid satin, bare skin, or clean tailoring, the print adds warmth and contrast that keeps the look from feeling flat. Flats read graphic and cool; heels feel sleek and sharp, especially with a dress or something softly draped.
The Leopard Bag
A leopard bag has range. It brings energy to sleek silhouettes — especially when paired with sheer layers, sharp jackets, or wide-leg linen pants — giving dressed-up looks a bit of edge. Smaller bags feel punchy; slouchier shapes feel effortless, making leopard the piece that ties a look together.
The Leopard Layer
Leopard used as a layer changes the entire mood of a look. A leopard jacket over a black slip dress feels instantly elevated, while leopard trousers paired with leather bring in texture and contrast. Set against clean black or soft neutrals, the print adds depth and movement that shifts the whole look.
The Leopard Accent
This is where leopard becomes a styling trick. A pillbox hat or a leopard hair accessory adds pattern exactly where you want it, while a bold necklace anchors the look and keeps it feeling dressed.
The Takeaway
Leopard works best when it’s treated like a wardrobe staple: a few strong pieces you can rotate in whenever an outfit needs texture, contrast, or a little attitude.

Barefoot in Bloom

Florals look different by the water than they do at a garden party. They get brighter, looser, sunnier — the kind of blooms that belong with bare feet and salt air. They show up embroidered on a caftan, covering a swimsuit, or crawling up a linen matching set.
I like to keep the styling light from there, leaning on pieces with natural texture to compliment the print or motif. A woven bag, a flat sandal, a piece of shell jewelry, an easy hair accessory.
It’s floral dressing with more freedom, made for sun-filled plans built around color, texture, and bare feet.

Retro Twist on Summer Dressing
Pucci Dress, Dries Van Noten Heels, Chanel Bag, Deszo Necklace
I’ve found myself naturally gravitating toward the glamour of 60s and 70s resort dressing, when vacation style felt more expressive and playful, tied to a more carefree way of getting dressed. Catching my eye are pieces with a retro twist that feels like a wink, not a full costume: Pucci-inspired prints and Etro-style paisleys, alongside crochet florals, boldly colored beads, and modular accessories. Together they channel that effortless allure in a way that feels nostalgic but still current, adding just enough character to make summer dressing more memorable.

Wedding Guest Dresses for a Tropical Setting
Outfit Details:
Rosie Assoulin Dress, Ferragamo Heels, Cordera Bag
Dressing for a tropical wedding weekend is its own kind of search. The right dress doesn’t always show up right away — it has to feel special enough to fit amongst the setting, joyful enough to honor the celebration, and light enough to actually work in the heat. A few different things have to land at once, and it’s worth taking the time to get them all right.
These are the guest dresses catching my eye for weekends where the backdrop is palm trees, sunset skies, and the sound of the ocean. Sunny yellows, citron sequins, shades of ocean blue, and sunset hues all feel right here. Printed silks and sheer capes earn their place too, elegant and considered without the weight of something that would leave you overheated by the first toast.
The best options feel polished enough for a special occasion while still holding onto that joyful, easy feeling a tropical destination naturally invokes.
