Jenna Lyons spoke wise words when she once said, “As far as I’m concerned, leopard is a neutral.” It’s true. As far as I’m concerned, leopard can be matched with anything: see here and here. And how good does the Gucci Dionysus Cubic bag I’m carrying here look with this Zara leopard jacket? The spots pack a powerful punch and provide a pleasing backdrop. Brilliant. They also elevate any outfit, like a simple pair of jeans and basic H&M monochromatic sweater. Throw on a cute pair of loafers and there you have it. Shop some favorite Noir Friday leopard coats below to make a statement whatever you’re wearing underneath.
