Leopard print is having a major moment right now as one of the fierce trends taking over our precious closet space. But why? It’s simple: women want to stand out and be heard. (Rawr.) Because what’s going to get you more effectively noticed than a bold leopard print? When you wear leopard prints, it exudes confidence, strength and a bit of a predatory vibe. I mean, they’re one of the fiercest cats in the jungle so you’re bound to come across as one yourself.
In today’s world of strong, independent, power women, leopard prints just seem right. I don’t know about you, but I feel completely powerful when I sass it up in safari motifs. It doesn’t even matter what the outfit is, a two-piece suit or strapless dress—it’ll still have the same effect. (On you and people lucky enough to be in your presence.)
After all, out of all the fierce trends, leopard print roars the loudest.

The ferocity of leopard print is undeniable. In fact, it forces you to be more ferocious every time you sport those fabulous spots. It’s loaded with self-assurance and it can give you that extra boost of fearlessness that you need to totally slay the day. After all, can you imagine an actual leopard that isn’t fearless? Never. Think of it this way: you’re the predator (a leopard) and the world is your prey (delicious).
Throughout the years, one thing has remained consistent with leopard print: it’s been a staple in all of the fiercest women’s wardrobes. From Joan Crawford and Bette Davis to Kate Moss and Caroline Vreeland, leopard prints have proven to be smart, sassy, elegant and most definitely on-trend. They’ve adapted to the times over the decades and always feel relevant.
By donning a fierce feline print, you’re telling the world that you’re in charge of your life and yourself. And is there really anything more iconic than that? Be fierce, leopard-hearted and daring! I promise, you’ll never regret wearing confidence—or leopard prints. Because if today’s fierce women aren’t something you aspire to be, well, you’re reading the wrong blog.
Ciao, babes! Stay fierce.
