When it comes to street style, there’s a fierce element that’s making a big splash: leopard print. This past February, when designers like Zimmerman and Isabel Marant showed animal print models on their fall 2024 runways, I bet the print would become a major trend for fall—and I was right. There’s no need to wear the latest runway collections to participate in this fall trend, though. In fact, there are a surprising amount of cheetah and leopard prints hidden in the sale sections of many of my favorite brands.
Even my favorite brand of versatile basics like J.Crew is launching a slew of (very chic) patterned pieces this season. Brands like Mango and Topshop have also recently launched button-down shirts and work-friendly linen-blend trousers. It’s safe to say that you can now find leopard print in almost any style or silhouette, so I don’t see this trend going away anytime soon.
Whether you’re looking for a new piece to complement your fall work attire or a new party dress for the upcoming holidays, this list has you covered. I even added some leopard print accessories if you want to try the trend first.
J.Crew pleated chiffon sheer leopard print shirt (originally $148)
This sheer blouse hits two trends at the same time. It’s still perfect for work, though, so don’t worry – there’s a built-in camisole underneath to provide just the right amount of coverage.
Lucy Paris Cheetah 5-pocket pants (originally $99)
These pants are not as scary to wear as you might think. You can look trendy by wearing something as simple and effortless as a sweater and ankle boots.

A pair of shoes is a great way to test out a trend without fully committing. Case in point: these beautiful little mules.
Alice + Olivia Mardell leopard print side pleated midi dress (originally $395)

You can never have too many button-down shirts in your wardrobe. Wear it unbuttoned with a tank top or tucked into black pants.

One thing I love is a turtleneck tank top like this. They are the ultimate layering piece under a fall jacket and look so elegant paired with an updo and chunky hoop earrings.

This Farm Rio dress screams “fun” in the best possible way. The puff sleeves give it an 80’s feel that’s hard to put down.

In the fall, I’ll be wearing this mesh under a maxi slip dress for date night or tucked into jeans for dinner with friends.

This vest may look simple, but its smooth glossy finish elevates it. Even better, you can adjust the straps to get the best fit.
