If you’re as obsessed as we are with a pair of leopard print jeans, then you’ll also love these leopard print coats. Finding the perfect winter coat is no mean feat and while a puffer coat is a cold weather essential, opting for a print such as leopard will immediately give your look a stylish edge – while still staying cosy, of course.
The high street was awash with feline-inspired fashion last year, and 2025 is set to be no different. We’ve seen leopard print in the form of many wardrobe staples such as jeans, midi dresses and blouses, but right now, it’s all about a leopard print coat. The trend has the approval of IT girl Hailey Bieber, who posted a very chic photo recently of her sporting a fluffy leopard print coat. She let the statement piece take centre stage by pairing it with dark blue jeans and a black top. She isn’t the only celebrity who is partial to a little feline flair, we’ve also spotted J-Lo and Kate Moss in leopard print coats. Need we say more?
So, what makes the best leopard print coat? There are certainly many different styles to choose from, including snuggly faux fur iterations that are perfect for chilly days or timeless trench coats that will see you through till spring. There’s a leopard cover-up to suit every occasion. Keep scrolling to shop our top picks from the high street.

How to style a leopard print coat
While we will always side with the belief that leopard print is basically a neutral, when it comes to a leopard coat they do undoubtedly look best when paired with a simpler outfit. We’d recommend steering clear of any other super busy or statement prints, so the leopard print coat can do all the talking. Denim and plain block colours are always a safe bet.
