Leopard print has been a polarizing topic in the fashion world for decades. In some circles, it was considered gauche. In others, it held racy connotations. For many fashion enthusiasts, it's a reminder of the late style icon Diana Vreeland who was famous for her love of leopard print. In truth, the point of wearing any animal print is fun—the joy of mixing bold patterns with luxe textures or elegant jewelry. And while we've seen examples of this in street style looks for years, leopard print is proving to be one of the hottest trends for fall.
For those with little to no animal pattern experience on their fashion resumé, not to worry. Styling a print can be a challenge for anyone, especially one with as much life as leopard. This fall, we're reclaiming leopard print not as a mode of attention-seeking or a show of sensuality, but as a form of play and showcasing one's expert styling talents. Hit the city streets in a leopard coat to catch the eyes of an unsuspecting audience or try a pair of cheetah print ballet flats in your bashful attempt at rebellion against the confines of the everyday uniform. Whatever way you choose to wear it, there is a place for this bold motif in your closet. Ahead, see some of the T&C editors' favorite leopard print street style moments and how to shop the looks for yourself.
