Some trends will always claw their way back into our wardrobe, and right now that trend is all things leopard print – because a cat does have nine lives after all.
Once a uniform print for the likes of Kate Moss, leopard print is an easy way to nail your mob wife outfit and is also an easy way to add a little bit of spice to your wardrobe basics. Trust us - this classic print has come a long way since Kat Slater’s heyday.
High-end designers on the leopard print hype too, with the likes of Dior, Ganni and Celine sending printed purr-fect outfits down the runway, making us predict that this trend will really be digging its claws into our wardrobe for the foreseeable future.
How to style leopard print in 2024
Now you may be feeling a little weary of wearing this revived trend – there have been some pretty iconic leopard print outfits in the past. However, in 2024 it is all about focusing on wardrobe basics that have been given a high fashion edge with our new favourite print. For example, swapping blue jeans for a leopard print pair, or incorporating a little wild detail on your trainers.
Once you’ve found your statement leopard print piece, you can go one of two ways. For a simple look that never fails, team your leopard print clothes with simple wardrobe basics like a brown knit or leggings. Alternatively, you can go for an OTT maximalist look and team your leopard print outfit with bold colours and clashing prints – it is totally up to you.
