Mango's New Drop Will Make You Feel Like a Parisian It Girl

It's all about leopard print.

Of all the collections, I am most impressed by Mango’s new-in section, as the on-site styling gives me so many ideas for how to get dressed right now. The overall aesthetic looks like it has been inspired by French It girls’ Instagram feeds. Leopard print is worn in an effortless fashion that is less "mob wife" and more "Parisian local in the 3rd arrondissement."

Animal prints have been a staple for French style icons such as Lou Doillon, Brigitte Bardot, and Vogue France's former editor Carine Roitfeld, and they tend to be styled as one statement piece with the rest kept quite simple. On Mango, a gray crewneck sweater is layered over a white tee, which creeps out at the bottom and is paired with a leopard pencil skirt and slingback heels. We would bet that the mood board included at least a handful of French Instagrammers. Other key pieces from the collection include a single-breasted coat with a matching miniskirt and a calf-skimming dress with ruching along the waist. Both have a laidback '90s look.

Jenna Lyons once said that leopard print is neutral, and we have to agree with her, as these pieces all have classic, pared-back silhouettes that make them appealing to minimalists and maximalists alike. Keep scrolling to see our favorite pieces from the collection.
