That's right, ladies. Drop the rulebook and try and forget everything you thought you knew about fashion. Because this season, leopard skin-print is back in style. No matter whether you wear just a touch here or there, or large swathes of it draped around your body, you can't go wrong with this feline look.
Once upon a time, leopard-print was poo-pooed as being vulgar and garish. But designers have always loved the motif. Christian Dior included leopard-print in his notable 1947 'New Look' collection. It was picked up by Yves Saint Laurent in the '80s and, a decade later, Dolce & Gabbana eagerly embraced the look.

And now you can, too. Leopard-print is all over the catwalks and the high street this year - and it doesn't show any signs of leaving.
Oasis will deck you out in head-to-toe leopard-print with their gorgeous, long maxi-dress. If you want just a dash of va-va-voom, head to M&S or Zara, both of which stock flouncy scarves featuring the pattern. Prowl over to Aspinal if you want some spots to protect you from the rain. And hurry on over to River Island before their fabulous leopard-print skirt sells out. Meow!
