I’ve been working on my editorial calendar for the upcoming months, going back through old content, and updating old links.
As I’ve been reviewing previous work, I came across this post, featuring a leopard cardigan from City Chic, which I own.
Unfortunately, it is sold out now. But, I found this beauty! So I decided to come up with some more plus size leopard cardigan outfit ideas!
The leopard cardigan comes in sizes 1X – 4X. Woot!
And below are a couple of ways to style it. The first look is chic and can totally go from day to night. The second look is more casual and perfect for running errands.

Pus Size Leopard Cardigans
Plus Size Leopard Cardigan Outfit Ideas
The first look has some fab wide calf boots and accessories, including the highly-coveted Céline luggage tote and Gucci belt.
And although I haven’t personally tried the Double G Gucci belts, they are still the “it” accessory. Sadly, they aren’t large enough for me. 🙁 However, they come as large as a size 20 (or 44″ waist).
See the updated size chart below for choosing the correct size.
Both the thinner Double G Gucci belts and the wider Double G Gucci belts now come up to a size 120! The latter is probably a better choice for jeans depending on your personal preference. So these belts are accessible to those with larger waists [and much larger wallets]!

This second look features these highly praised leather-looking leggings from Spanx.
Some reviewers have even said these beautiful stretchy leggings hide their cellulite. It is totally plausible considering Spanx makes them with medium control, like that found in shape-wear!
They’re available in sizes 1X – 3X, but they run small, so size up.
If you’re not ready to try a faux leather legging but want to get that badass vibe, try a ponte knit legging with faux leather insets, like these from Eloquii.
Eloquii makes my favorite ponte knit leggings called “Miracle Flawless Leggings.” They retain their shape, stay on my waist, and are thick enough to keep me feeling covered, especially in the rear. They now come in sizes 14 – 32 and a variety of styles.

Alexa, Thank you for this fun, stylish look. I ordered the first option leopard sweater, though it was great to see several options to choose from. I liked the border and pattern best on the Nordy sweater, and look forward to wearing it. You’re easily my favorite go-to stylist — I love your picks and my closet and appearance have improved since I discovered your site. I have many of the items you feature, but have not been great at styling them for a polished look. In recent years I’ve gotten into a cover and camouflage mentality, and most of my wardrobe didn’t flatter me. For the past year I’ve been working on improving my wardrobe and appearance, as I am. This has been a freeing and fun experience, and your recommended outfits have helped me refine my closet and personal style. Thank you for all you do to inspire a more positive, polished image for plus women.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! And thank you for reading.
