Whether you're a leopard lover or not, you can't deny animal print jeans are everywhere this season. Personally I need no convincing, and have long preached that leopard is a neutral. But even non-believers will be converted by my latest high street find.
Denim is of course a capsule wardrobe must-have, and it's one of those things that if you get it right, working around it suddenly becomes effortless. If you ask me, it's about combining classics with trend-led pieces, so start by finding the best jeans for your body type, and then layer in items, whether it's warm-weather appropriate white jeans or denim jumpsuits.
RRP: £89 | The print looks really expensive, and the high rise is super flattering. These beauties are available in short, regular or tall lengths, although currently at the time of writing, only the regular length is in stock. 2% elastane gives you plenty of stretch, and £89 is a pretty good price point for something you're going to get a lot of wear out of in the coming months. If you're in the market for a bargain, don't forget to check out the Mint Velvet sale.
They're from Mint Velvet's Wild Noir collection, and of course if you're not shy about taking a walk on the wild side you can double up on your spots. But if you're only going to invest in one key piece, make it the slim leg jeans. For warm days you can add a simple t-shirt and trainers, and you can dress them up for evening with a blazer and your highest heels.
How to style leopard print jeans
RRP: £45.99 | The Zara leather ballet flats are the only shoes you need until summer really kicks in. They are a simple but very stylish alternative to the trainers you probably wear on repeat. They're also available in red, which really complements brown leopard spots well.
RRP: £95 | Every wardrobe needs a crisp white shirt, and if leopard spots are bolder than you'd normally go, this is a great way to pare things back. Meghan Markle is a fan of this British clothing brand too.
RRP: £450 | Zara Tindall is a fan of this bag, and so am I. The chain straps and optional monogramming makes it look much more expensive, plus Aspinal is one of the labels on our list of best designer bags under £1000.
