While I’ve always been a fan of taking a walk on the wild side when it comes to personal style, I’ve never pulled the trigger on an overtly statement coat, like this leopard one. In the past I’ve tried touches of the animal print on accessories, like this bag or this pair of shoes, but it was definitely love at first sight with this über dramatic coat. During fashion week, I borrowed it from Louisa Via Roma, and to be honest, I never want to give it back.

To create a vintage-inspired look, I paired it with my favorite pair of Levi’s and an Aerosmith t-shirt. I’ve rounded up more of the best leopard pieces for fall below. Whether you add just a bit of leopard to your closet, like a pair of shoes or a belt, or go for a bolder piece, like a coat or a dress, is up to you.
