I've Tried On My Fair Share of Leopard-Print Coats—This Is the Style My Editor and I Are Obsessed With
Autumn may have just arrived, but already one best-selling jacket has returned as a key style of the season.
Strolling through London this week, I've spotted a series of stylish women all embracing the same coat trend. The cooler temperatures have invited the leopard-print coat trend back to the fore, and what's even more exciting is that all my sightings have featured the exact same coat. And I predict that we will be seeing a lot more of Rixo's Milly Leopard Coat (£485) over the coming months.
Last year, this cover-up flew onto the scene and quickly became one of the season's buzziest buys. Now, it's back to prove its timeless credentials, serving our wardrobes for yet another autumn and winter.
Unlike other leopard-print coats, Rixo's is a longline, structured style composed of soft brushed felt. A neater alternative to all the bulky and extra-fuzzy styles out there, this calf-length iteration feels smarter and more polished than others I road-tested.
Available in sizes 6–26, this chic coat is trending within fashion circles for good reason. Beyond its leopard-print design, which is enough to have fashion people fawning in the first place, the coat features a sleek single-breasted button fastening and a relaxed, boxy cut. The leopard-print pattern itself is expensive-looking and elegant, in neutral tones that make it incredibly versatile for outfit pairings. The perfect accompaniment to a classic LBD, but I also tried it on with jeans, so I know it works just as well with my everyday go-to items—this being especially important given the investment price tag.
To discover the coat that has our office group chat buzzing, read on to shop Rixo's Milly Leopard Coat along with our other favourite leopard-print coats.
