Leopard print is back, and in a bold way this transitional season. What is transitional dressing, you may ask? Well, it’s the clothes you wear in that awkward time between two seasons – in this case, summer and autumn. One day might call for a summer dress, but then a sharp twist in the British weather will have you hunting for warmer items that work alongside your summer pieces. These are the hero items that can help you create a capsule wardrobe that can be worn, with pride, year round.
Underpinned as a key A/W trend for yet another season, expect to see leopard print hitting all your favourite high street stores and online, alongside dark indigo denim, chocolate brown and cherry red.
As the summer sales wind down along with the sunny weather, we want to equip you with the most up-to-date styling tips, trends and best buys so you can look and feel your best in the transitional season to come.

Heralded as the 'new neutral', you can wear it with anything – black, white, red, pink, blue, brown or denim, the list goes on... Style it up with gold hardware and velvet black heels or dress it down with poppy-red trainers and white cargos.
