Any fashionista knows it – there's no denying the leopard print trends as of late.
While this bold animal print is currently making a splash, it’s far from a passing fad. How so? This iconic motif has a rich history and timeless appeal, proving its staying power in wardrobes around the world. As fall approaches, luxury brands including ViX Paula Hermanny are embracing neutral tones, from earthy browns to rich butter yellows. And, of course, leopard print pairs effortlessly with these hues – even deep oxblood red that’s also catching everyone’s attention. Today's blend of timeless motifs with in-season colors reinforces why leopard is one of those prints that remain a versatile and enduring statement choice. Here’s everything you need to know about leopard print and its role in women’s fall fashion trends.
The History of Leopard Print
Leopard print has a fascinating fashion history. Its first major runway moment came in the late 1940s, courtesy of designer Christian Dior, who introduced the print, not the fur, to haute couture. Over time, this print gained momentum as celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy showcased it as a symbol of glamor and boldness.
From Hollywood starlets to public figures and pop icons, leopard print became a statement piece, representing both the idea of rebellion with class and sophistication. Its ability to stand the test of time, through decades and shifting trends, makes leopard print a perennial favorite, and this fall, it's making a triumphant return to the forefront of fashion.
How To Style Leopard Print for Fall
One of the reasons leopard print remains so popular is its versatility. This season, animal print dresses are an essential component of women’s fall fashion trends - some even draw inspiration from the trendy dress silhouettes we’ve seen throughout the summer. The key to pulling off this bold print? Let it take center stage by layering it with neutrals like black, beige, or brown tones, allowing the print to pop just as it’s intended.
Neutrals To Pair With Leopard
These timeless neutrals are likely already in your wardrobe, as they are classic shades that never go out of style. Whether you're wearing a leopard print bikini or a chic animal print leopard dress, it’s about finding balance with the rest of your outfit.
Different Types of Leopard Print
There are many variations of leopard print to choose from. Some prefer the bold, statement-making patterns like our ViX Camu print, while others might opt for softer, more muted versions like our Rosewood print.
What we love most about the leopard print trends is how universally flattering they are. Unlike other patterns like stripes or polka dots that are more suitable for specific body types, leopard print has a way of complimenting everyone.
A Classic Animal Print With Endless Possibilities
Whether you’re channeling the vintage vibes of Hollywood glamor or modernizing your look with sleek, fall essentials, leopard print is back and here to stay. Its rich history and versatility make it an indispensable part of any wardrobe.
