Its not a trend thats ever really going to go away.
Leopard continues to be a staple print this autumn with roar-some garments spotted on AW18 catwalks from Tom Fords neon red and yellow offerings with matching tights to Victoria Beckhams statement leopard print coat.
If youre shopping on a budget and high fashion offerings are outside your price range, there are plenty of ways to look fierce without breaking the bank.
The statement coat
The best leopard print coats you can find on a budget are pre-owned ones.
Faux fur is cheap on marketplace sites like eBay, and local charity shops can be a goldmine of unwanted outerwear.
For high-quality second hand items, check out Depop or Vinted.
If you do want to buy something new, scrape together your pennies for this leopard print jacket from & Other Stories.

It has big pockets for all your worldly possessions and a drawstring tie around the waist.
The leopard shoe
Leopard print was made for boss footwear.
It looks incredible on heels, loafers, brogues, ballet pumps, platforms and creepers, and a leopard print shoe instantly updates any outfit.
If you value comfort as well as style, try New Looks classic leopard loafers for just £19.99.
Theyre smart enough for work and will look excellent off duty with skinny jeans.
The wide-legged trouser
We love wide-legged trousers.
Theyre comfortable, flattering, smart enough for the office (depending on print and fabric) and can be dressed up with killer heels and a crop top for nights out.
They also look amazing in leopard print.
Missguideds flame-red trousers are the perfect transitional summer to autumn garment.
The delicate lingerie
Leopard print lingerie doesnt have to look extra.
It can be delicate and chic, as Urban Outfitters lace knickers and matching bralette demonstrate.
The animal print is broken up with black lace and the bralette is free from underwire or padding.
The whole set is only £25.
The versatile blazer
Slipping on a leopard blazer can take a casual weekend outfit from yawn to something youre desperate to document on your IG account.

You might also want to try your leopard blazer (a steal at £19.99) over an LBD or with smart black ankle-grazers and a crisp white shirt.
The look-at-me leopard dress
If youre going to wear a leopard print dress, be prepared for this item to be the cornerstone of your whole look.
Flirty spaghetti strap slips in leopard can be paired with chunky platforms or Dr Martens and leather jacket for a tough evening look, or barely-there sandals and a cream faux fur for an outfit that screams old school glamour.
For a daytime look, try something like Marks & Spencers limited edition shift dress.
It has a high neckline and flowing shape, pockets and cropped sleeves, making it perfect for a fashion-forward office outfit.
The silky top
Wrap tops and tie waist tops are here to stay this autumn.
Pretty Little Things silky tie waist blouse has flowing waterfall detailing down the front and makes enough of a statement to carry a classic nice top and jeans look into after-work cocktails and beyond.
The finishing touches
If you want to wear the animal print trend but youre not keen on committing to a big statement item, just add a small hint of leopard to your outfit.

It can be as simple as slipping on a pair of socks, like ASOS leopard print ankle grazers or looping a leopard print belt through your favourite pair of jeans.
Leopard print has been a favourite of style icons like Audrey Hepburn, Debbie Harry, Kate Moss, Jackie Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor.
If its good enough for them, its definitely good enough for us too.
