So how long after everyone started wearing leopard-print last season did you start hating it? We gave it a good six weeks before we had to gracefully retire from the trend.

But, in the same way we jumped on that one, there's another animalistic look that'll be making its way into all of our wardrobes come spring, and despite its very subtle similarities to the aforementioned look, it's a fresh enough take that we can't wait.
