In fashion, leopard print can almost be considered a neutral. That's not just because it usually comes in varying shades of brown and black, but because the pattern itself is classic. For years, its covered everything from fuzzy coats to shoes [1], and it even commanded attention on neon pieces in the '80s [2]. In 2018, women are certainly getting more inventive, honing their personal style and incorporating fresh prints [3] — but leopard is a mainstay. Ahead, you can find some new ways to consider pulling off the wild look (which really isn't so wild when you consider its popularity), then shop some of our favourite leopard designs of the season.
