Do leopard-print coats ever go out of fashion? We’d argue that no, they never do. Thanks to the likes of modern muses Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, this particular coat or jacket is always a great way to make an outfit suddenly more fabulous. So, what do you need to know about the style and how is it making a statement this season?
For 2022, anything goes. There was a return to the more classic faux-fur look, with Yuhan Wang putting a fluffy iteration complete with matching hat and a real life cat on the runway for autumn/winter. But then there are also more stripped-back outerwear options. Ulla Johnson opted for a belted plisse coat for her AW22 collection that looks elegant, timeless and is more wearable than other styles. Celine had autumn-appropriate jackets teamed with wardrobe staples on the runway while Michael Kors kept the look sleek with a tailored, slightly oversized style.
Ulla Johnson’s sleek take on the leopard coat has taken our mind away from faux fur. See how good a longline style looks with flat tall boots?
Making leopard work for minimalists, Celine showed how perfectly the print goes with shades of grey.
Making a case for a double dose or leopard, Michael Kors put an oversized car coat on the runway teamed with a mini dress. Swoon.
