18 Leopard-Print Fashion Finds You’ll Want for Fall

SeaVees slip-on sneakers are a hit with travel editors thanks to their skater-ish-slash-stylish look and their easy on/off design that's a cinch for TSA checkpoints. Additionally, they feature super-grippy soles and high vamps that cover more of the foot than your average slip-on, keeping them warmer once the temperatures start to dip.

Leopard print has come a long way from Marilyn Monroe’s hand muff and cape in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” What once read as either vintage or ladylike is now an easy, foolproof way to look modern and cool. We love Madewell's casual take on the look: straight-leg stretch jeans with rad tuxedo stripes down each side. Add a solid tee and skate sneakers, and you've got yourself a uniform for fall weekends. (Go ahead and give your plaid shirts and boyfriend jeans the year off.) 

We're swooning over this show-stopping silk dress from L.A.-based label A.L.C. This flirty, flattering piece (halter neckline, cinched waist, flouncy hem) would turn heads anywhere. Pair it with strappy heels at a cocktail party or under a crisp black blazer for a work presentation. No wonder it's one of Shopbop's top-sellers. 

Hair accessories are having a moment, and these abstract leopard-inspired clips are some of the chicest we've seen. For those planning to stick to a classic fall wardrobe of thick sweaters and sherpa jackets, this is a cheap and understated way to try out two big trends at once.

Stop everything—this dress by AllSaints is genius. The delicate strappy frock in an oh-so-subtle forest green hue comes with a totally removable crewneck sweater. Boom! Two outfits in one. Pair the dress solo with black tights and flats for a sweet (but slightly edgy) ballerina look, or go punk rock and match both pieces with combat boots and spiky jewelry.

Not to sound like a late-night infomercial from the '80s—but don't miss out on this! We've watched these cool cropped cords sell out in every size on Shopbop and Levi.com in just a few short weeks. Luckily Bloomingdale's is here to save the day, offering these high-rise pants in just about every available size. 

The easiest, snuggliest, and most affordable way to channel Taylor Swift: Toss on this chic (and vastly marked down) faux-fur jacket, and you'll look ready for Lorde's birthday party in NYC, too. If you want to go ultra T-Swift, couple the coat with a pair of knee-high boots. Belting out "Cruel Summer" is totally optional, but encouraged.

With Sam Edelman's cult-favorite Loraine loafers, you're tapping into the great leopard-print craze of 2019, yes, but doing so with a shoe that will never, ever go out of style. 

Another best-seller on Shopbop, this short-sleeve minidress is sexy and sophisticated, with a fit-and-flare cut that's flattering on most body types. The material is 100% silk, and additional fabric is sewn into the skirt to make it extra swishy. The dress is a clear standout on its own, but you can mix it up with a leather bomber and Docs, a black leather belt and Chelsea booties or ballet flats, or Chucks and a denim trucker jacket (oversized to accommodate those puffy shoulders). Past wearers report that it runs large, so consider sizing down.

Spice up your transitional wardrobe with this frayed-edge square scarf. Made from 100% merino wool, it'll keep you warm (and chic) at fall carnivals and on fall hikes and apple-picking adventures. 

Fall's answer to the ubiquitous leopard-print skirt of summer 2019? Gap's more casual twist on the '90s-throwback slip skirt, made from travel-friendly rayon instead of 100% silk or a high-gloss synthetic fabric. For the cooler weather, switch out summer's vintage band tee and white sneakers for a moto jacket and combat boots. 

You can revitalize your fall closet for well under $100 with these pointy-toed booties. The on-trend fall essentials add oomph to any fall outfit you whip up: black pants and an oversize camel knit, skinny jeans and a trench, or matte black tights and a chunky sweater dress. Plus, their stretchy side panels helps you pull them on and off easily and their mid-height (two-inch) heel aligns your feet nicely, so they can tackle 10,000-step (or more) travel days without discomfort.

If you're planning to zip down rollercoasters at the state fair, go on a bumpy tractor ride at the pumpkin patch, or dress up like a cat for Halloween, you'll need something to keep your hair back. Upgrade your (admit it: stretched-out) hair elastics for soft scrunchies that would never betray you with an unwanted hair dent. 

Planning a warm-weather getaway this fall or winter? Get a leg up on your trip prep and order this head-turning maxi dress. Its polyester fabric won't wrinkle in your suitcase so you can hit the sand or the pool deck right away. Not only does it make a killer day dress or beach cover-up—just picture it with huge sunnies, a straw boat hat, and beach tote—but you can wear it straight to dinner and dancing come nightfall.

Whether you pair them with a chunky black sweater or a crisp white button-up, these stretchy twill pants are a delight. The fact that they look far more expensive than they actually are is a big perk (the brown leopard shade is on sale on top of its low price, to boot.)

If there were ever a sweater to cozy up with a pumpkin spice latte (and snap your #psl selfie), this is it. This very oversized cardigan by editor-favorite Rails is a home-run for any autumnal occasion: wear it with wide-leg jeans for the Sunday farmers' market, with leggings and a pompom beanie for a spin around the ice-skating rink, or with a pencil skirt or black trousers for a more buttoned-up affair. 

A leopard-print maxi may not sound like a practical buy, but hear us out. This painfully-hip-without-even-trying dress from AllSaints is a style you can wear anywhere, any time of the year: a weekend flea market, a full day of sightseeing, a thematic viewing of "Cats," or a wedding in any season (just add opaque black tights and a cardigan come fall and winter).

The retro sneaker trend is here to stay. Take it to the next level with Tretorn's leather leopard-print lace-ups. Whether you're wandering around small New England towns to see the fall foliage or getting a head start on holiday shopping, these sporty, spotty kicks with bouncy insoles will keep your feet totally pain-free every step of the way.
