From their iconic Kelly skirt to the Milly coat that's flying off the shelves this season, nobody does it better.

Trust me when I say you'll get plenty of wear from this beauty. And remember, leopard is a neutral so don't be afraid to layer colour or even more prints if you're feeling particularly bold.

Leopard print dresses are not only extremely on-trend, they are also surprisingly easy to style. Opt for classic colour choices such as black or white, or go bold with cherry red. Plus, leather accessories are a great choice with leopard print; for example, wear a leopard print dress with black leather ballet flats, a slouchy handbag, and finish with gold statement jewellery. And for an overlayer, a black blazer is always a failsafe choice that is also certain to elevate your look even more.
