The New Fall Neutral

Aug 22

With animal prints getting some rage through 2024, is leopard print the new fall neutral? It started making a runway comeback that could take full hold this fall. If you’re a leopard lover, it’s time to revive your collection, and if you’re a leopard hater, time to learn to love its flair. Though it can be associated with rock and roll, it gained prominence in the 1920s by designers and was worn by Jackie Kennedy in the 60s. Leopard print goes through fashion phases and cyclical-like resurgences, but as we can see, they’re pieces to never get rid of. If you’re excited for leopard, you also might see zebra and snakeskin in elevated and understated ways.

Leopard is the fall neutral your wardrobe needs! I’ve loved this print since the early 2000s and still wear my favorite J.Crew leopard flats on repeat. Each year, I add a few new pieces, including a leopard dress I packed for my recent Europe trip. It’s perfect for hiding stains and pairs effortlessly with sandals or slingbacks. Here are styled looks for inspiration in incorporating leopard into your wardrobe.
