You’ve quite possibly seen a leopard print silk midi skirt recently. First there was the $180 multiple restocked Réalisation Par version. Then came similar styles at Ganni and & Other Stories (also now out of stock). That skirt is not the only leopard print on the prowl…new arrivals of leopard are up 361% in the last three months compared to last year.

This story is going to be strong through fall, but brands should know that once consumers have adopted polarizing animal print, they’ll be committed for a few seasons. Washed out zebras, leopard and snake prints take preference for spring over more color-true variations.
