•I really thought that after a succession of seasons that played heavily on animal prints, that we'd be sick of the sight of the leopard spot by now - but it appears that what was once deemed tacky is still going strong and will be scampering in to the autumn/winter period with us again; whether that be on boots, coats or on bold accessories.

I'm a fan of the leopard spot but see it being overdone far too often. Pat Butcher style anorak? Not credible. I like wearing it in splashes and against block colours (not just blacks and browns) but the best part about dressing in this classic pattern is that if you put some thought in to it, it can become effortless to style and will just about go with anything you own.

I've given you lovelies a few ideas about what you can wear the print with come rain or shine... All you have to do is invest in a few key pieces and let your wardrobe do the talking! Voila!
