If you're looking to give your autumn capsule wardrobe a refresh but aren't sure where to start, I would always recommend opting for some leopard print. As a fashion editor, I have written about, styled up, and worn big cat spots for years, and leopard really is up there as the most versatile pattern that is always in the style spotlight.
Despite the fact that it is totally evergreen and will stay on trend season after season, some women are still nervous about wearing animal print. Some see it as a little garish or one of those looks reserved for younger shoppers, but I promise that is really not the case – it’s just all down to some savvy shopping to find the best items for you. The key to making leopard spots look chic and classic is choosing the right kind of product and print. Rather than anything very bright or oversized, look for softer and muted colourways and wild patterns that look as close to the real deal as possible, and opt for simple yet stylish staples that will lift your outfit without feeling OTT or overpowering.
