Treat leopard print as a neutral and use it accordingly, adding separates to your wardrobe like M&S’s crepe animal-print slim-fit trousers (£35), Hush’s leopard jacquard cardigan (6, below) and Arket’s satin skirt (£69), perfect styled with knee-high leather boots or trainers. Animal print also works well with poppy colours. Style a bold turquoise trouser with a leopard-print top, as seen at Essentiel Antwerp (2, below) or a bomber jacket. Or go maximalist leopard with a dress, as Ashley Graham did recently on the Today show (pictured). We love M&S’s easy cotton style with pockets (5) and Essentiel Antwerp’s smocked-neck style (£290) worn with stompy boots.

There are plenty of rental gems to be found, like Rixo’s rose and leopard dress, from £37 at hurrcollective.com, plus great pieces from Ganni (from £27-£58). By Rotation offers several coats, including a faux fur Anthropologie-style (£44 for a week’s hire), or pick up a previous season markdown piece from The Outnet, like Stand Studio’s cosy coat (£298, down from £459). Finally, leopard accessories can be used to add interest to a look. Boden’s low-heel slingbacks (9, below) would look great with workwear, or try Dune’s high-heel court (£52) to bring a rock edge to a jeans-and-jumper look. Meanwhile, La Redoute’s circular crossbody bag (£30), or Asos’s buckle shoulder bag (inspired by Fendi’s baguette) (£22) are the perfect finishing touch.
