With the awake of maximalism, animal prints—especially leopard—became one of the biggest trends by late of 2024 (eBay reported a 380% increase in searches for “leopard print coat” between July and October 2024). A full-on takeover of animal prints this year? Totally expected.
A faux-fur leopard coat paired with straight-leg jeans is a forever classic. It’s an effortless way to nail that chic vibe. The contrast between the coat’s boldness and the jeans’ simplicity instantly elevates your everyday look.

Not into full-on leopard print? No problem. Add a subtle touch with bottoms or accessories to keep it stylish without going all out. Take a look at note at Bella Hadid for reference—small details, big impact.
Think leopard print isn’t quite your vibe? Try zebra print, the alternative demure option. Its monochrome palette makes it easier to style, adding just the right amount of edge without being too bold. Whether on a statement coat, a pair of boots, or a subtle accessory, zebra print brings a touch of sophistication while still embracing the wild side of fashion.

Well, you’ve probably noticed—plaids are everywhere right now, from the streets to the runways. And yes, they’re officially back.

The ‘90s grunge aesthetic we all know has reached the next level by giving a playful twist. Miu Miu amps it up by experimenting with high saturated color contrasts, while Burberry takes a different approach, mixing textures for a uniform yet anything-but-boring plaid-on-plaid look.
It’s time to play with contrast in your own way. Pair a high-saturation plaid shirt with a neutral oversized blazer for a balanced yet statement look. Or go full Burberry-inspired plaid-on-plaid—mix different scales and textures, like a soft flannel with a structured wool coat, to keep it interesting. Whether minimal or maximal, plaid is your playground this season.

When it comes to patterns, stripes are having a major moment. According to Lyst, searches for the Breton stripe have skyrocketed by 388% this quarter, proving that classic, structured lines are a key trend this year.

There’s one good thing bout stripes—they’re very versatile to style with. Whether you’re into preppy classics, bold statements, or effortless minimalism, stripes can do it all.
There’re multiple ways to style stripes: Keep it classic with a Breton striped tee, straight-leg jeans, and loafers—a timeless go-to. Want to mix things up? Play with contrasting stripe directions, widths, or colors for a fresh, modern edge.
For a more subtle take, add striped socks, bags, or scarves to your outfit—just enough to make a statement without overwhelming your look. And if you're feeling extra, go for stripes-on-stripes. Take notes from BLACKPINK’s Jennie, who turned Chanel’s SS25 knitwear into an effortlessly chic off-shoulder dress, proving that stripes are anything but basic.
