How to Wear Leopard Pants, According to Shopbop’s Fashion Director

I recently had drinks with Shopbop’s senior fashion director, Caroline Maguire. Among many topics of conversation, shopping clearly came up frequently. This kind of comes with the territory when two fashion people are together. I asked about her current favorite items at Shopbop to inspire my shopping guides and, you know, consider for my wardrobe. She mentioned her love of Nili Lotan pants. (I have yet to try them.) She then proceeded to show me an exclusive style on Shopbop that she’s personally wearing.

Enter the coveted Shon Pants. This cool silhouette featuring a bowed leg comes in a variety of colors and fabrications, including denim and twill. Now, it comes in leopard—a key 2025 pattern that’s perennially relevant. And yes, I want to wear leopard-print pants as a playful update to my neutral trousers and jeans.

Below, you’ll find an image showcasing how Maguire is wearing her Nili Lotan pants along with inspired styling pieces to shop. I also rounded up a few other outfit ideas I had saved featuring leopard pants for further inspiration.

A white tee works flawlessly with leopard pants, and the yellow knit tied around the shoulders adds an extra element of style.

Consider this look for early fall with the addition of the chic trench coat.
