The Dated Pant Trend That’s Making a Roaring Comeback

It’s that time of year! No, we’re not talking about pumpkin-spice-latte season—it’s the start of denim season. Colder temperatures mean you can finally slip into a pair of baggy jeans and a chunky cable-knit sweater. There’s no denying the cultural relevance of denim, but if you’re anything like us, you might be looking for something that feels a bit more evolved for fall. Enter leopard-print pants into the chat. Although this particular print trend has been popular on and off for the better part of a century, it’s invaded pop culture recently. We’ve seen leopard print take over everything from the fall/winter 2024 runways to our social media feeds in the form of big fur coats, boots, bags, and everything in between.
