Every animal-print aficionado knows that fashion has always loved a good leopard moment. Between Elizabeth Taylor’s head-to-toe animal print outerwear to Jenna Lyons’ historic proclamation that leopard is indeed a neutral, it’s just too difficult to pick a favorite. Not only does the iconic print make you feel fierce AF, but its combination of brown, black and beige hues makes it *so easy* to style. Whether you reach for solids or print-mix your leopard pieces (you’ll swoon over leopard with pinstripes!), there’s no denying that your closet needs more of this classic pattern right meow. Scroll on for 16 finds that will make leopard a staple in your closet (if it isn’t already).
1. Zara Printed Leather High Heels ($90): This daring silhouette is just the kind of head-turning statement-maker that will transform your simplest outfits into a seriously chic look. Let these shoes be the star of the show and pair them with an all-black outfit this fall and winter.
2. Dune Engellie Removable Leopard Print Clutch Bag ($74): Go darling or daring with this versatile two-in-one option. You can unzip the leopard-print front from the exterior to use it as a separate pouch, or keep it attached and rock it as a cross-body bag.
3. ASOS Leopard Print Shift Dress ($73): Excuse us while we pick our jaws up off the floor, but can we just say “Ow ow!” This dress is *everything.* Thanks to expensive-looking jacquard fabric, this is anything but your average little leopard dress. Pair it with black booties and a skinny scarf for a rock ‘n’ roll vibe.
4. Express Faux Leopard Fur Coat ($228): This faux fur coat is giving off major Kate Moss vibes. It’s fierce but effortlessly cool, just like the legendary model. Toss it on over sneakers and leggings for a clutch athleisure look, or get fancy with a LBD and strappy heels.
5. Forever 21 Contemporary Animal Print Dress ($13): If the classic beige and brown leopard print is just not your thing, we suggest opting for something with a pop art twist. This punchy print kicks up the volume in a burnt orange shade with splashes of white. We love it paired with a black moto jacket and a statement choker.

It’s the perfect work-to-weekend shoe. Make ‘em work for nine-to-five with slacks and a white tie-neck blouse, then try them with a mini skirt and a vintage band tee when Friday night hits.
8. Urban Outfitters Pattern Tie Neck Scarf ($14): When it comes to finishing touches, this silky little scarf reigns supreme. Power-clash with an alternating print like in the photo above, or pair it with a crisp white button-down to channel your inner French girl.
