Now, a Leopard Print Top Is the Coolest Top to Wear With Jeans


If, in fashion terms, 2024 has brought us one thing, it’s the astronomical revival of the leopard print trend. A long while ago, some might have written it off as “tacky”, but the iconic print has experienced an impressive comeback over the years—so much so it’s now considered to be a classic. But let’s keep our focus on the now. Sweeping across the autumn/winter 2024 runways, showcased by every designer of note, the trend has since snowballed on social media, even forming the crux of a big 2024 aesthetic (here’s looking at you, Mob Wife).

Having trickled to the fore in the form of thick, luxurious coats at the beginning of the year, the leopard print trend has evolved with the seasons, taking on different forms as we’ve moved through the year. Bringing us leopard print jeans, leopard print skirts, leopard print dresses, and leopard print shoes, now that autumn has arrived it’s the leopard print top trend that’s stealing fashion hearts.

Ganni’s tie-front blouse is already a mainstay in so many fashion people’s wardrobes, and Damson Madder’s shirred style crops up on my Instagram feed every other day. H&M has produced pretty cowl neck designs, and Kitri’s halter neck style is already on my wish list.

Adding a point of interest to your autumn outfits, a leopard print top is the perfect pairing for your favourite jeans but also the full circle skirts you’ve been wearing for the past few months.

With an inherently ’90s energy—who can think of leopard print without thinking of Janice from Friends, the trend imparts a nostalgic charm.
