Having spent an entire summer wearing polka dots and florals, it's usually around about now we start thinking about switching it up and slipping back into our all-time favourite animal print, something of the leopard variety. And according to the new-season trends and the likes of Victoria Beckham and Tom Ford, leopard is looking bigger and better than ever.
Naturally, we'll be digging out our leopard-print coats and jackets to nod to the trend, but until the weather cools, we're wearing it the only way we know how and stepping into that all-important leopard-print dress.
