Fashion loves to call animal print a neutral; it really does go with everything. More than that, it makes an outfit. Pair your go-to LBD with a leopard shoe instead of nude and you’re sending a very different message. Come winter, a leopard print coat can be the easiest way to project your style while also staying warm.

Take, for example, Jennifer Lawrence. The Hunger Games actress wore one for a night out on the town recently. She paired it with simple black jeans, pearls and strappy sandals. She might have been on trend, but she also looked timeless. Women like Jackie Kennedy, Brigitte Bardot, and Edie Sedgwick were sporting animal-print coats in the ‘60s, rockstars made them de rigeur in the ‘80s, and now it’s almost earned the word “staple.”
