I think this is the easiest winter dressing gets for me: a statement coat, jeans and a hat.
My Zara two-tone leopard and black coat is on its third winter and I don’t love it any less than I did when I bought it. I remember I had the idea of wearing a plain black baseball cap with it last winter but never got round to it – I like a good contrast in an outfit so the tomboy style of a cap with a full-on lady coat has always appealed to me. (Why does adding the word “lady” before any other word always make it sound a bit dodgy, or is it just me?!) You don’t get much more of a contradiction than a hat worn by American sportsmen worn with a style of coat I still associate with Bette Lynch of Coronation Street 😉
Although I’ve paired my leopard with blue denim and black (i.e. dark neutrals), I do love pairing it with winter brights as well. Do you consider leopard a neutral (and wear it as such)? Let me know in the comments…!

Only you can pull off such look. Love the combination.

Aww thank you Isa!!
That jacket is pretty fantastic!
Thanks Priscilla – it's one of my faves for sure 🙂
Great styling. I love the tension between cap and coat and the emphasis on the coat. The rest of the outfit lets the coat take the stage. Well done. A beautiful combination.

Thank you Greetje – another wonderful comment! Mwah xx
I think leopard print is definitely going to be around for some time, it's so popular this year again. The coat is fantastic, I would wear it with black, denin, or camel

Camel would definitely give it a softer look, Laurie – you're right! Thank you x
Leopard is definitely a neutral! Love this coat, especially juxtaposed with the baseball cap.

I'm so glad, Jeanne – thank you!
Another vote for leopard as a neutral. Unfortunately I went through a phase many years ago where I went a bit overboard with it and now I avoid it…
Oh no, Sara – that sounds like over eating a food you love them becoming sick of it!! Hopefully it'll go out of style then you can bring it back 🙂
Absolutely consider leopard as neutral, I love pairing it with fancy colors and textures 😀
Adore the baseball cap, this is one of those things I would think would never work, but it actually looks amazing ^^
Clever, ain't I, Keit…?!!!! Heehee thank you hun, I wasn't 100% sure it WOULD work, I'm so glad it did! xx
