Zadig & Voltaire | RRP £276 | Our Price £92

EMBRACE THE WILD
That sound? Oh, that’s the roar of the jungle as designers far and wide embrace the call of the wild with bold leopard and tiger prints. On the dressy side, purr in leopard print dresses by Ted Baker, feline maxi-skirts by Zadig & Voltaire, and form-fitting mini-dresses by Mint Velvet, complemented with strappy heels and silver jewellery. Make a big statement with head-to-toe matching prints (cat suit anyone?!) or use colour accents to break up the look. On the casual front, we’re loving the statement leopard print trousers by Jigsaw which you can team with a cute crop top and leather jacket. Otherwise look out for animal-print maxi shirt-dresses by the likes of Reiss, and you’ll be the cat that got the cream. 

Pinko | RRP £209 | Our Price £138

Levi's | RRP £70 | Our Price £49

DENIM DREAMS
The Canadian tuxedo, aka head-to-toe denim was once a fashion faux pas but now it’s one of the strongest looks of the season. A casual trucker jacket and jeans is tough to beat, especially when you throw in some distressed details to give it a grungy edge. Great denim is hard to kill, so think about finding vintage pieces to mix with more contemporary styles. A denim shirt by Levi's or Diesel looks super cool styled with a denim midi skirt by the likes of Pinko and a pair of denim heels. If you just want to dip your toe into the trend, then a midi-dress with chunky shoes and a neutral tone bag will still bring out the best in blue.

Zadig & Voltaire | RRP £382 | Our Price £255

FABULOUS FAUX FUR
If there’s a garment to make a statement with this season, make it a faux fur coat. Voluminous, sexy, and tactile, faux fur coats were all over the runways at Michael Kors, Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta to name a few. So what’s the furry vibe? Think big silhouettes: we’re transfixed by the oversized long-line coats by the likes of French Connection and Tommy Hilfiger. Look for styles with exaggerated shawl collars or belted options that feel like you’re being hugged by a bear. Keep the tones seasonal with brown, grey and black, or use bolder blues, lilac and gold for more of instant impact. The beauty of these beasts is you can layer them on top of anything and look instantly glamorous.
