It may sound cliché, but as a maximalist and a fashion editor, I believe leopard print does count as a neutral. The playful print is the perfect accent to any look, whether it's worn simply or added to take an outfit to the next level. Speaking of accents, a bag is the ultimate way to incorporate this fun pattern into any ensemble.
On Kate Moss: Saint Laurent x Ray-Ban sunglasses
While the ageless print ebbs and flows in the market, the past two fashion seasons have given it new life. Leopard-print pants took over the internet, quickly followed by coats, and now, it's handbags—the best of all. Iconic brands such as Saint Laurent, Prada, and Alaïa blanketed their best-selling styles with the loud-luxury pattern, and of course, Hollywood's best dressed celebrities swiftly got on board.
On Laura Harrier: Saint Laurent Bomber Jacket ($6500) and Le 5 à 7 Bea Tote ($5100)
Zoë Kravitz, Kate Moss, Hailey Bieber, and Laura Harrier have all recently embraced leopard in various forms, favoring Saint Laurent's Bea and Le 5 à 7 styles predominantly. (Both are sadly sold out, but you can pre-order one for delivery next year.) While there are ample luxury options, there are also plenty of budget-friendly leopard bags on the market. Below, dive into the best in the industry.
