Fashion is cyclical, and we've all experienced the phenomenon of swearing off a certain trend or style, only to find ourselves longing for it again a few years later. For me, that trend is leopard print. After the last leopard craze, I swore I was done with the loud print for life and banished it from my closet. Fast-forward to present day, and leopard print is quite literally all I'm shopping for right now—life is full of irony.
We're in the middle of the leopard renaissance, and because it's been absent from the trend cycle for a few seasons, it actually feels quite fresh. Designers are adding modern updates to the classic print with details like calf hair and sheer fabrics that feel very 2025. I'm loving the unexpected pop of leopard on bags, shoes, and belts this spring, or fully leaning in with maxi dresses and coats looks so elevated. Since I cleared the print from my closet years ago, I'm in the market for a few key leopard pieces, and there are so many chic options right now. Below are the best leopard-print pieces for spring, from oversize tote bags to draped dresses and sleek sandals.
