The Return of Leopard Print: Valentino, Phillip Lim and Jerome Dreyfuss

Season after season, we see the return of our favorite “trends”. But these “trends” are not really trends at all, they are simply the return of seasonal styles. Right now, fall collections are starting to hit the shelves (store and virtual alike). It seems a little soon to think about fall, but I am excited to see the return of one “trend” that screams fall! Yep, leopard print is coming back and it is coming back strong! Expect to see it everywhere. What I like about leopard print (and any animal print, for that matter) is how fun and surprisingly neutral it is at the same time. Leopard print goes great with black and all of the colors found in the fall color palette. So if you like expressing you wild side, leopard print is a great way to go! Just remember, there will be tons of animals prints out there. But if it isn’t a rosette, then it isn’t a leopard! That is okay though, I like cheetah and jaguar too!

Looking for the ultimate leopard print bag? Check out this luxe tote! I love the pairing of such a structured shape with such a wild print. Plus the stud detailing is too cute!

3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Minute Bag. $495
Don’t want your leopard print look to feel too overwhelming? Try a black bag with a leopard print accent! I love this fold over clutch. It has just the right amount of leopard print peeking out.

Jerome Dreyfuss Alain Bucket Bag. $1815
Feeling bold? All over leopard print is the way to go! I love this bucket style, it looks fierce and somewhat casual at the same time.
