Two easy ways to embrace the leopard-print trend for less #AW16

Two easy ways to embrace the leopard-print trend for less #AW16

This Autumn Winter, the biggest trend in print is leopard. I know, I know, it seems that leopard has been the biggest print trend every second season since 2005, but this year it's going to be particularly trendy.

It was all over the catwalk during the fashion weeks early this year, with Dries Van Noten, Givenchy, Prada, Moschino and more all draping their models in leopard-print coats, and Dolce & Gabbana (of course), Maison Margiela and House of Holland offering leopard-print of the dress and skirt variety. Isabel Marant showcased a leopard-print biker jacket that I wanted to hate, but now I'd sell a chid for.

Going head to toe leopard á la D&G is too much for most people. Even if you have a Topshop or Penneys leopard print 'fur' coat lurking somewhere in your winter wardrobe, you probably think it's just a bit Bet Lynch. However, a little leopard is a cool way of adding interest to your outfit without having to go out and buy yet another statement necklace.

My favourite way to jazz up my typically all-black outfit is to do something with my feet, like wearing jazzy shoes. Crazy, I know. These plimsolls are an amazing and comfortable way to leop up your life. Oh, and they're velvet, which makes it even better.

However, the subtlest way to rock the trend is with this amaze shirt from Zara, a play on the classic white with the most adorable but also cool leopard print pocket.

It only costs €29.95, but if that didn't do it for you, Olivia Palermo went and wore it out and about, so there's that.

Do you have loads of leopard accessories you can wear again this coming season?
