In the fashion world, leopard print is often referred to as a neutral. This may seem a bit counterintuitive—the print certainly isn’t shy—but as far as patterns go, leopard is surprisingly versatile. It’s a print that’s able to adapt to the outfit and personality of its wearer. We’ve seen leopard look supremely cool on rock royalty, à la Debbie Harry; prim and polished on Jackie O in the 60s, and even more mod on British It girls in the early aughts. Lately, it seems like leopard print is having quite the resurgence—particularly in outerwear.

In the hands of houses like Alaïa, Bottega Veneta, and even Toteme, brown and black-spotted toppers are looking chicer than ever, and they’ve made their way to the streets—and not just during Fashion Week.

A leopard coat is the perfect statement piece for fall, and a great investment too: leopard’s longevity in fashion is well-established.
