Animal prints remain a key trend this season, and if you're currently wondering how to style these 70s-inspired prints, then Alison Hammond's latest outfit confirms that they pair perfectly with leather.

On Friday's This Morning, she wore an elegant top from one of our favourite British clothing brands - Rixo. The printed jersey top features brown antelope spots for a playful feel, and it has long, voluminous sleeves giving it a blouse-like finish. The patterned top is tucked into a croc-embossed black leather skirt to create the chicest autumn outfit.

Animal prints such as leopard or deer pair well with leather, offering just the right amount of contrast and an edgy feel. The boldness of the print is balanced out by the sleek texture of leather. To finish the look, she adds black leather pointed flats, coordinating with her skirt perfectly.
