Leopard Print Minidresses Are All Over My FYP—Shop the Best Ones Here

It’s no secret that in 2024 the lifespan of a trend can be decidedly short. With an endless stream of information, emerging ideas, and countless opinions flowing through our phones, it’s never long before a trend that once reigned supreme gets toppled over in favour of something fresher. Having seen so many promising trends get spat out after a mere few weeks, when you notice one transcend the vicious cycle you know that you’re on to something good.

Having first noticed the leopard print trend gain legs in winter last year—ushered in by the now forgotten “mob wife” aesthetic, I assumed it would circulate for as long as the aesthetic that heralded it did. I was, in-fact, sorely mistaken. Taking on new legs throughout the spring and summer season, the leopard print trend made its way off of fuzzy coats and onto silky skirts, and now recent months have seen it come into its final form: the leopard print minidress.

Combining a trending print with a summer-ready hem-length, the leopard print minidress has become a staple in the wardrobe of fashion people this month. Rejecting the plain cotton and linen dresses that circulate during this time of year, the leopard print dress trend the opportunity to style a loud print that in a ways that feels both familiar and fresh.

Although the dress trend has been in circulation for decades, these past few months have seen a revival in line with the trend’s original reign across the ’90s and ’00s. Frequently spotted on supermodels including Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell across these decades, the leopard print minidress retains a glamorous edge to this day, that will always draw me to the style.

Whilst these tepid summer days dominate the forecast, style your mini with a knee-high boot for added insulation and a fresh silhouette. And, in a few weeks time when summer really comes around, swap out your boots for a strappy sandals or easy ballet flat for a comfortable ensemble that feels so 2024.

As the trend has grown, so too has the amount of leopard print minidresses hitting the market. From Zara’s sleeveless style, to Ganni’s trending version, designers across high street and designer brands have been quick to perfect their new-season mini.
