Leopard Print Skirt with Pink Florals

Leopard Print Skirt with Pink Florals

Size Chart

The waist figures run from fully relaxed to the absolute limit of the stretch, and that upper number is not a fit — jersey pulled that far goes thin and the print spreads. Take the relaxed figure and add two or three inches: that's where the skirt sits properly. No hip measurement is supplied, which matters because the cut stays close through the hip and thigh, so if you're between two sizes take the larger one. Length is quoted as a range on one size and a single figure on the others; at over 42 inches from the waistband it is cut to pool on the floor rather than clear it.

Blush leopard spots washed across cream, with oversized pink peonies laid over the top so the two prints bleed into each other rather than sitting in separate panels. It's cut in a fine stretch jersey, ruched at the waist and close through the hip and thigh before opening into a long fishtail flare that spills out across the floor.

How to Style a Leopard Print Skirt

Two prints is already the statement, so everything else stays plain: a white bandeau or a simple vest, a straw bag, gold jewellery and a heeled sandal to lift the hem off the ground. Cream and tan accessories keep it holiday; swap to black and it turns considerably sharper. On fit, a fishtail traces the hip and thigh before flaring, which is spectacular on hourglass and slim straight figures because it draws the whole line of the body; the ruching at the waist helps by breaking up the light across the stomach, but fine jersey still follows every contour, so if you'd rather the fabric skimmed than clung, an A-line printed maxi will give you the same drama with far more ease.

FAQ

The waist range is enormous — which end should I go by?
The lower one. The upper figure is the point at which the elastic and the jersey reach full extension, not a recommended fit, and worn there the fabric thins and the print distorts. Take the relaxed measurement, allow yourself two or three inches above it, and choose the size that lands closest.

Can you really wear leopard and florals together?
Here you can, because the printing does the work for you: the leopard sits underneath as a neutral base and the peonies are scaled large enough to read as the main event rather than competing with it. The rule that follows is simply not to add a third pattern — keep your top, bag and shoes plain and the combination looks deliberate.

Is the skirt meant to trail on the ground?
Yes — at more than 42 inches from the waistband it's longer than most people's waist-to-floor measurement, so it pools at the hem by design. A heel lifts it enough to walk comfortably; flat sandals mean accepting a good deal of fabric on the pavement, or having the hem taken up.
