Something fierce is running wild amongst the street-style set: leopard print. When designers like Zimmerman and Isabel Marant sent models down the Fall 2024 runways in animal print in February, I bet on the print to become a major fall trend—and I was right. There's no need to wear the latest runway collections to participate in this fall trend, though. In fact, there is a surprising number of cheetah and leopard-print finds hiding in the sale sections of many of my favorite brands.

Even brands like J.Crew, which I turn to for my favorite wear-everywhere basics, are making a (very chic) array of patterned pieces this season. Brands like Mango and Topshop also got into the look recently with a button-down and a pair of work-ready linen-blend trousers. It's safe to say you can find just about any style or silhouette in a leopard version right now, so I don't see the trend dying down any time soon.

Whether you're looking for a new piece to add to your fall work outfit rotation or a new party dress for the upcoming holiday season, this list covers your bases. I even threw in a few leopard-print accessories if you want to dip your toes into the trend first.
