A leopard print blouse is a neutral with attitude. Its tan, black and cream tones go with denim, black, camel and even red. A puff sleeve adds a romantic, vintage-inspired shape that makes a simple outfit look considered. Put the two together in a puff sleeve leopard top and you have the easiest way to look dressed up in jeans. The rules are simple. Keep the rest of the outfit plain, balance the sleeve volume with slim or straight bottoms, and choose a leopard scale that suits your style. Here's how.

How to Choose a Leopard Print
- Classic tan and black: the most versatile. It works as a neutral.
- Small-scale leopard: subtle and office-friendly.
- Large-scale leopard: bold and fashion-forward.
- Coloured or tonal leopard: grey, pink or green leopard is softer and more playful.
- Leopard trims and patchwork: a gentle way in. Try the Leopard Patchwork Flutter Sleeve Blouse (£24).
How to Style a Leopard Print Blouse
- With jeans: straight or wide-leg jeans and white trainers. The classic.
- For work: tucked into black tailored trousers with loafers and a blazer.
- With a black midi skirt: elegant for dinners, with heeled boots.
- With red: red trousers, a red bag or red lips make leopard look current.
- Under a knit: collar or sleeves peeking out from a cardigan in autumn.
- Leopard on leopard: go for it, but keep the shades similar.

How to Wear Puff Sleeves
Puff sleeves add volume at the shoulder, so balance them:
- Slim or straight bottoms: straight jeans, pencil skirts and slim trousers.
- Tuck in or define the waist: a front tuck or a belt stops the look from getting boxy.
- Simple necklines: mock, round and V-necks let the sleeves be the focus.
- Narrow shoulders? Puff sleeves are your friend. They balance wider hips beautifully.

Not into leopard? Puff sleeves look just as good in florals and stripes:

- Leopard Patchwork V-Neck Plus Size Blouse, £21.34.
