Watch out, wild: it's officially leoprint season

We just can't get enough of this one animal: every year, the leopard sneaks back into our wardrobes and takes on the alpha role. Currently, its territory extends from shoes to trousers to tops.

On a safari, the aim is to catch a glimpse of all the candidates of the "Big Five". If you can actually get an elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion and leopard in front of your lens, you can count yourself lucky. When it comes to fashion, the demands are lower. Of the "Big Five", only one is actually of interest: the leopard. There's something about its picturesque black and brown spots that we can't resist. This summer, the wild cat is once again enjoying particular popularity and is making an appearance on pretty much every item of clothing.

Leo tops

Sleeveless, with voluminous shoulders, as a classic blouse or figure-hugging top - the polka dots are amazingly versatile and offer the right silhouette for every preference. The best way to combine them is with plain-coloured pieces - anything from sporty to chic is possible.

Leo trousers

If you actually love plain, monochrome basics, you can create a wild contrast with leopard print trousers. Thanks to the muted shades of brown, the spots are eye-catching but not overpowering

Leo accessories

The somewhat tamer version of the print can be found on accessories such as shoes, bags and belts. This way, you can keep up with the trend without having to commit to a large item of clothing.

By the way: the colour brown will definitely still be with us next autumn. So your Leo pieces have no foreseeable expiry date and will be with you at least into the next season.
