Puffas, bombers, military jackets…the outerwear options are hardly in short supply. But there’s one style in particular that will always stay close to our hearts in the colder season: the leopard print coat.
Do leopard-print coats ever go out of fashion? We'd argue that they never do.
Thanks to the likes of modern muses Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, this particular coat or jacket is always a great way to make an outfit suddenly chicer. Jeans and a t-shirt? Ultimate cool-girl vibes. The perfect LBD? Outstanding. Over your pyjamas as you put out the bins? Suddenly you're dressed up.
There’s something instantly chic about a leopard-print cover-up that makes us feel part ‘60s rocker/part Alexa Chung/part Pat Butcher. And who can forget Elizabeth Taylor in that leopard print coat with matching hat? It’s the ultimate buy now, wear forever wardrobe staple that suits anyone, defying any trend. Fact.
