Leopard Print: The Timeless Trend Making a Fierce Comeback This Fall

The Return of the Leopard: A Timeless Trend

Hey everyone! 🌟I hope you’re all enjoying the beautiful vibes of this fall season. Today, I wanted to chat about something that’s really close to my heart as a Jersey girl: leopard print! 🐆 Yes, you heard me right—leopard print! Now, I know some of you might have mixed feelings about it. It can seem a bit bold or even tacky to some, and that’s totally okay! We all have our opinions, and that’s what makes our conversations so interesting. But here’s the deal: leopard print is undeniably trending this fall, so why not give it a shot?

You see, leopard print is basically the new neutral! It never really left us, but it’s popping up everywhere this season, proving it’s a timeless favorite that never goes out of style. For many, it’s an essential part of their wardrobe, showcasing their unique style. If you’re not quite ready to go all-in with a full leopard look, why not start with a bold accessory? And for those of you who are ready to fully embrace it, I can confidently say that 2024 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for leopard print!

The Modern Resurgence of Leopard Print

Now, let’s talk about the modern resurgence of this fabulous pattern. The popularity of leopard print tends to ebb and flow, and right now, we’re definitely on the upswing. According to Alexandra Van Houtte, the founder of the fashion search engine Tagwalk, leopard print is up a whopping 944 percent in collections this fall! Talk about making a statement!

Fun fact, Christian Dior is well-known for this iconic print. Back in 1947, he introduced a leopard sheath dress in his debut collection, inspired by his muse, Mitzah Bricard, who loved to wear a leopard-print scarf. How chic is that?

Currently now in 2024 this fierce print has taken over the runways again in designers like Alexander McQueen, Alaïa, Christian Dior, Isabel Marant, Versace, and Ganni. Also can be seen on trendsetters like Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Sofia Richie, who are showing us just how versatile leopard can be.

Leopard Print: From Runway to Real Life

I’ve noticed it everywhere on social media, and just the other day while strolling through the city, I spotted so many people confidently rocking leopard print. And to all my Bravo TV fans out there: you’ll love this! I recently caught an episode of Real Housewives of New York, and Brynn Witfield was wearing some stunning leopard pants. She styled them beautifully, reminding us all of how inspiring fashion can be!

Styling Tips for Leopard Print

When it comes to pairing leopard print, classic neutral tones like black, white, beige, and grey work wonderfully. If you’re feeling bold, try mixing in some vibrant colors like red or green, or even go for metallics like gold or silver!

And just a heads up—other animal prints like snakeskin and alligator skin are also making waves, but for now, leopard is the main print to know this season!
