Animal prints always look and feel current, and while leopard print still reigns supreme, the last few months have seen other wildlife-inspired patterns have their moment in the spotlight, too. Throughout winter, the western trend has been a key aesthetic and with it came cowhide and ponyskin pieces that are still very much in fashion favour, but for spring, dalmation print looks set to be big news, and I predict a wash of black and white spots to soon be all over the high street.
The pup-based dots have a wonderfully playful feel, and are more relaxed than wild cat spots, and the monochrome colourway can often be easier to style, and more wearable if you're nervous about stronger prints. The splodges are like a softer take on polka dots, and are already popping up across clothing and accessories.
