Hold Please—This New Item Might Be the Next Leopard Slip Skirt

You know it. You saw it everywhere. Heck, you might have even
bought it. That’s right, I’m talking about that leopard-print
silk midi skirt. “The Naomi” by Réalisation
Par more or less won 2018 (and this year). You couldn’t thumb
through Instagram or walk down the street without seeing the
spotted stunner (or one of its many iterations from brands like

& Other Stories,
H&M, and so on. Rightfully so—the staple’s on-trend
pattern (can’t go wrong with animal
print) and forward shape (a modern twist on a ’90s silhouette)
made it a wardrobe front-runner for a reason. While the look is
still going strong, there’s another leopard item that seems to also
be taking the spotlight (lol). It seems I can’t go a day scrolling
through IG without spotting (there I go again) a leopard
jacket—especially Anine
Bing’s leopard Flynn jacket.

The topper, which debuted earlier this summer, skews on the
higher end in terms of price point, but it’s an investment
outerwear piece that does have longevity. You could honestly wear
it all season and beyond thanks to its trend-forward nature with
the slouchy fit and ability to pair flawlessly with even the
simplest of outfits thanks to its statement flair. It’s no wonder
the fashion scene continues to gravitate toward the item for
fall.

To show you what I mean, I gathered a few of my favorite ‘fits
featuring the jacket in question, complete with fall styling tips.
Naturally, you can also shop the must-have below. (Please note, the
topper actually sold out on Shopbop
while I was writing this story.) Bonus! Keep on scrolling to find
other just-as-stylish leopard-print fall jackets if you’re into
something just a bit different. I also included the famous leopard
skirt at the end in case you still have your eye on it.

The designer herself proves the Flynn is the ultimate off-duty
staple paired with distressed jeans, a blouse, and ballet
flats.

Break up an all-black fit by tossing on the animal-print stunner
to complete your fall vibe.

Sure, the leopard may be statement-making on its own, but that
doesn’t mean you still can’t have fun with accessories. Layer on
necklaces and an on-trend belt bag for a forward look.

Throw the topper over your favorite graphic tee and add your
go-to jeans to keep your weekend game feeling fresh.

Give that sleek skirt-and-tee ensemble a little something extra
with the touch of leopard.

While seemingly more casual with the slouchy shape, the jacket
can feel totally dressed up teamed with a dress and a polished
bag.

Give this piece a whirl at the office by wearing it with a
stylish LBD and eye-catching booties.
