One of the more divisive trends over the years, it's safe to say that leopard print has cemented itself as a timeless fashion staple that's here to say. Everyone from Princess Diana to Kate Moss has contributed to making the classic print as iconic as it is, and it's now the leading aesthetic of the season, leopard print dresses are going hand-in-hand with the cool-girl trend.
The best part about leopard print dresses is that they can create an everyday outfit just as easily as a statement style, and I've found everything from casual dresses to slinky minis to see you through 2025.

Leopard print can be worn in countless ways, but the classic brown and white colourway perfectly complements blacks and reds. If you're opting for a fitted midi dress, why not channel Lupita Nyong'o and opt for a matching leopard print for your heels, or keep it casual with an on-trend pair of ballet flats. Kendall Jenner also nailed it when she paired her leopard print mini with a pair of black knee-high boots, and you could switch out her pair for a pair of cowboy boots, too.
How I chose the best leopard print dresses
- Trending: We've seen blue, pink, and green leopard print dresses hit the high street, but the top trend right now is the classic brown and white hue. I've found the timeless style in floaty maxi dresses to fitted mini dresses and more.
- Price: Fashion doesn't need to break the bank, which is why I've chosen leopard print dresses in a range of price points.
- Seasonal: All of the dresses in this edit are perfect for winter but I hate saying goodbye to my new purchases at the end of the season, so I've made sure to pick out plenty of options that are suitable for all year round. Whether you're layering up with a leather jacket or styling the dress with bare legs and trainers, these versatile pieces will be worth the investment.

This is described as a beach dress on the Karen Millen website but there's no reason why you can't wear this whether you're on holiday or not! The figure-skimming A-line dress is finished with an on-trend leopard print that would pair perfectly with heels or boots.

M&S has so many lovely dresses right now, but this leopard print midi is my favourite. Cut with a regular fit, it nips in at the waist to skim the figure, while the cape sleeves give an elegant finish.

H&M's new leopard print dress is giving major cool girl vibes with its effortless A-line silhouette and waist-cinching belt. Ideal for day-to-night dressing, I'd recommend opting for black loafers and sunglasses during the day, then level up the look with a pair of strappy sandals and gold chunky jewellery for a chic evening ensemble.

Rixo never disappoints when it comes to evening dresses, and this Maddison midi is no exception. You can dress it up or down and it'll work for so many different moments. Loose and floaty, it nips in at the waist with ties and falls to a long hem that drapes beautifully. This would look stunning paired with black heels and a matching clutch for a girl's nights out.

For a more relaxed style, I love New Look's shirt dress. Slashed at the front for movement, just use the matching belt to softly define the waist or wear one of your own. The leopard print style would look effortlessly stylish teamed with knee-high boots and a shoulder bag.

ASOS's leopard print dress screams date night with its figure-skimming cut, and it would look gorgeous with black accessories, or red heels and a clutch for a pop of colour. If you want to give the dress a more casual feel, I would recommend wearing it over a white T-shirt for a cool layered look.

Scamp & Dude's midi dress looks far more expensive than it is. Just as versatile as it is stylish, the printed midi could be worn with everything from Adidas trainers to stiletto heels for special occasions.

As far as iconic leopard print dresses go, Ganni is up there and this one ticks a lot of boxes. It has a fitted waist, deep v-neckline, three bows at the front and short sleeves. Wear alone with heels or ballet flats or for a more laid-back look go for trainers.
