AS THE CRISP air ushers in a new season, the fashion world undergoes its perennial metamorphosis, breathing life into our wardrobes with fresh inspiration. This season, the streets come alive with a symphony of timeless elegance and bold statements: sleek black turtlenecks, the epitome of sophistication, paired effortlessly with perfectly worn-in blue jeans—a pairing of comfort and style that never goes out of fashion. The silhouette is completed by the commanding presence of tall leather boots, their polished surfaces catching the golden light of autumn afternoons.
Additionally, this season, a wild streak emerges from the urban jungle as leopard print makes its exciting return. This ultra-chic pattern makes its way to accessories and statement pieces alike, adding a touch of untamed glamour to even the most understated ensembles.
It’s a season of contrasts: the austere and the audacious, the classic and the cutting-edge. Every outfit tells a story, every ensemble an adventure waiting to unfold. As leaves turn and temperatures drop, fashion rises to the occasion, inviting us all to express our inner fashionistas.

It’s leopard season! Or in this case, cheetah. Leopard print has made several comebacks over the years, as it’s a timeless pattern that often resurfaces in fashion. Most recently, leopard print saw a strong resurgence in the Fall/Winter 2018 season, becoming a major trend on runways and in street style. Designers like Tom Ford, Victoria Beckham, and Dolce & Gabbana incorporated the print into their collections, making it a staple. This season, it’s back, and if you’re looking for a good place to start, we’d say it would be with this coat (although this one is good too.)
While leopard print never fully disappears, its popularity ebbs and flows. It’s known for having strong retro associations, particularly from the ’80s and ’90s, and frequently reappears as a bold statement for fall wardrobes when designers revive maximalist or retro-inspired themes. It’s likely to continue cycling in and out of fashion in the coming seasons.
