You can always trust supermodel Kate Moss to carry off any look with a dash of mischievous charm, and fun and flirty leopard print is right up her catwalk. Women everywhere love Kate’s sophisticated trend-setting styles, and she channels her trademark poise into her take on animal print. As much as we love a fierce tiger stripe, leopard spots have always been leader of the pack when it comes to big cat-inspired patterns. London Fashion Week saw droves of designers sending models prowling down the catwalk in animal print, and everyone from Beyoncé to Harry Styles is embracing the look.
Matching loose leopard print trousers with co-ordinated ankle boots, Kate keeps it tasteful rather than tacky with a plain black blazer and a sapphire-blue clutch. As reformed wild child Kate proves, this look is for anyone who likes to indulge their inner rebel from time to time. Although autumn/winter’s top trend is a sleeker, more sophisticated update on the rock ‘n’ roll staple, we challenge you to not feel a little bit adventurous when wearing leopard print.
Leopard love
Kate’s gone for a modern twist on the classic print, moving away from the browns and ambers of natural leopard colouring and opting instead for contemporary silver and black. For your own take try these classy charcoal leopard print skinny jeans, which flatter curves and slim down legs. If you think that leopards shouldn’t change their spots and prefer authentic brown hues, we recommend these bold sateen leopard print trousers.
Blazer brilliance
A tailored piece can take an outfit from slouchy to smart in an instant, and Kate uses a satin number to add a more formal look to that striking leopard print. For a colourful contrast go for this luxurious blue blazer which includes a faux leather lapel for an extra dash of punk style.
Oversized opulence
You probably won’t need sunnies to shield your eyes from the paparazzi’s camera flashes, and we wouldn’t recommend wearing them indoors like the fabulous Ms Moss unless you want to walk into things. However with the sun low in the sky your eyes still need a bit of protection, and we love this starlet-worthy oversized pair from Versace.
Booted up
Kate’s never afraid to sport a vertigo-inducing heel, and her high stiletto ankle boots give her outfit a final glamorous touch. These zip point ankle boots come in neutral tones for sophisticated winter wear, but for those who don’t have time to totter these chunky heel ankle boots are a great alternative, giving you extra height without compromising on support. For more styles check out the great range of ladies’ boots. Whether you’re headed to the office or for Friday night drinks, take a style note from cool cat Kate and work this polished punk look to the full.
