Animal print: the new neutral
If you're looking for an outfit ingredient to firmly ground your style this autumn animal print is your go-to. A mainstay of the Nineties, it's found its way back into the wardrobes of fashion lovers again, popping up on catwalks and influencers' Instagram feeds.
Not sure how to wear animal print? It's much easier than you think. The trick is to think of it as a neutral that goes with pretty much any colour, from bright red and deep burgundy to classic black or white. Try this leopard-print jumper with off-white trousers and ballet pumps for a smart-casual look with a little edge.
Build everyday outfits

Invest in a versatile animal-print jacket
If you need outfit inspiration for the new season, a good place to start is with our cow-print trucker jacket. Made from soft, tactile faux fur, with a comfy regular fit, it makes the ideal base for your winter animal-print themed outfits.
Try it layered over everything from jeans to dresses, elevating basics and adding interest to neutral outfits. Pair it with black leather trousers, a simple-yet-chic jumper and ankle boots for a brunch or dinner out.
The final flourish

How to wear animal print for evening
Animal print isn't just for daytime: it works just as well for parties and evenings out. This leopard-print top can easily be dressed up with a slick of red lipstick, tailored trousers, kitten heels or a glossy burgundy bag.
Autograph have given classic animal print a new twist in this midaxi dress. With an arty effect to add impact and a simple-yet-sophisticated column silhouette, it's the piece to take you everywhere this autumn and winter from dinner to drinks. Slip on a pair of black kitten heels to tie the look together or dress down with western-style boots for more casual occasions.
