Prepare Yourself for Pat Butcher Levels of Leopard Print This September

To some, leopard print is such an integral part of their wardrobe that it works as a neutral. And if you're one of those people who never tires of leopard print, you'll be glad to hear that some of the coolest new-season pieces are spottier than ever. Ganni, the unofficial brand of the Instagram set, has gone all out leopard for its new collection, with every item possible in this wild animal print. Even those who are anti-leopard will fall for the slingbacks.

Prada is also going heavy on the leopard in its accessories department, with handbags and platforms in a beautiful orange-hued leopard. Meanwhile, on the autumn/winter runways, hundreds of iterations on this classic feline pattern have been cropping up. You'll find ocelot dots at Michael Kors Collection, leopard sandals at Ralph Lauren, everything at Dolce & Gabbana is covered in it (where else?) and Balenciaga's outlook was to pair up matching printed coats with giant handbags—something for the experienced leo lovers out there.
