Leopard Coats: The Best Leopard Print Coats for Winter
A leopard coat is the one print coat that works as a neutral, because its browns, blacks and golds go with almost everything already in a winter wardrobe. The best are long and made in shearling, calf hair and jacquard wool, and this edit picks them from our designer coats and fur and shearling coats edits, from Nour Hammour, LaPointe and Carolina Herrera.
Key facts
- Leopard works as a neutral over black, cream, denim and brown
- Shearling is the warmest leopard coat
- Calf hair is flat and graphic; jacquard wool is lighter

How to wear leopard
- Over all black, the cleanest version.
- Over denim and a white T-shirt.
- Over chocolate brown, tone on tone.
- Keep the bag and shoes plain: one print only.
Shearling, calf hair and wool
Shearling is the warmest. Calf hair is flat and glossy, very graphic. Jacquard wool weaves the print in, so it is lighter and easier to wear in mild weather.
