Leopard hat with ears

The leopard hat with ears is a black hat with a leopard-print trim and two upright ears. It is designed for women and men who want to dress up as a leopard or wild cat for Carnival or a safari party. You can wear it as a separate accessory with your own outfit or with a costume.

What the leopard hat looks like

• The crown of the hat is solid black and covers the top of the head.
• A wide leopard-print trim runs along the bottom, with a point above the forehead.
• Two triangular ears in the same brown-and-black spotted pattern sit on top.
• Each ear has a white, fluffy accent that mimics the light-coloured inside of a cat's ear.
• The hat is suitable for women and men and comes from the brand Funny Fashion.

The leopard as a costume theme

You can recognise a leopard by the black spots on its light brown fur, and this spotted pattern is repeated in the trim and ears of this hat. As a costume theme, the leopard sits between the domestic cat and the lion: wilder than a tabby cat, but without the large mane of a lion. This makes it a good fit for a safari party, where guests can dress up as animals or explorers. A costume hat is also an easy choice for Carnival, as you do not need a full costume to wear it.

How to create a leopard-style face to match the hat

You can paint a leopard face with a black dot on the nose, a few whiskers on the cheeks, and small brown and black spots along the temples. Draw a long line outwards from the corner of your eye with eyeliner to create a cat-like look. Earrings or a necklace in gold or brown echo the warm tones of the print. Red nail polish or long artificial nails work well as claws and complement a snarling pose.

Choose the leopard hat with ears and you will be ready to dress up as a wild cat in just a few minutes for Carnival or a safari party.
