I thought I was done with the leopard print trend until I spotted Lily Allen's maximalist knee-high boots by the celebrity-loved brand Khaite. I've hunted down the best designer lookalikes that channel the same aesthetic as these boots with much more affordable price tags.
Leopard print has dominated the fashion world for several seasons; however, seeking fresh ways to wear the trend can lead to a sense of leopard print fatigue. Lily Allen's maximalist boots prove that this season, statement accessories styled with a block-coloured outfit are the chicest way to channel this autumn/winter fashion trend 2025.
Lily punctuated her black and red look with Khaite's bold knee-high boots, signalling that less is more when it comes to styling playful prints. If you're struggling with how to style leopard print, opt for one accessory, such as the best knee-high boots or a fuzzy printed handbag (like the one we spotted on her a few weeks back).
The boots are paired with a tomato-red mini skirt, a black longline coat, and opaque tights. Her black coat creates a striking contrast against the bright red skirt and leopard boots. To finish the look, she opts for a classic black Hermès Birkin.
Given that her new viral album, West End Girl, has just been released, we expect to see much more of Lily Allen, offering us plenty of fabulous style-inspiration.
