It's safe to say that animal print is having a moment. That's right, unless you've been living under a rock as of late, you'll know that the hottest trend right now is all things cheetah, leopard or even zebra.

No longer associated with a *certain* Eastenders character, animal print is having a huge renaissance, with some even hailing it as a "neutral".

In light of this newfound fondness for all things animal print, we searched high and low for the best options out there, and landed on this super chic, easy-to-wear midi dress from John Lewis's ANYDAY range — say hello to the Animal Print Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, which is just £45, and an absolute spring staple in our eyes.

A wardrobe staple you'll reach for time and time again — embodying this season's hottest trend: animal print, complete with puff sleeves and an A-line skirt.

Why we rate it

Featuring a classic silhouette complete with an A-line skirt, round neckline, and puff sleeves, it's sure to look good on everyone.

Made from a lightweight viscose fabric with an all-over animal print, it also comes with an adjustable tie-back and elasticated sleeves that sit *just* right. The flattering cut also every-so-slightly nips in at the waist for some added shape.

Great dressed up or down, it's suitable for daily wear with your favourite pair of white trainers and a leather jacket. Or, it can be teamed with some cute heels and clutch bag for a special occasion. You could even layer it with a jumper over the top if it's a little cold out.

The ultimate throw-on dress that looks effortlessly good every time, we suggest adding it to your online shop soon, as chances are it won't be around for long!

What the reviews say

New to John Lewis, the dress only has one review, but it's certainly one that counts.

The first shopper to get her hands on the on-trend midi wrote: "Love this dress. Again though had to go a size up as the bust was slightly tight."

A clear winner as far as style goes, the only criticism came from the dress's sizing, so that's definitely something to note upon purchasing if you have a larger bust.
