Howdy and welcome to FALL! Today I’m roaring with excitement over one of my all‑time favorite fashion pleasures: leopard print. I mean, there’s something about those gorgeous spots that just immediately adds confidence, edge, and a bit of wild chic to whatever you’re wearing. So naturally, when I saw what Chico’s is doing with animal prints lately—especially leopard—I had to share all the reasons why this is your next style move, plus how I’d style my favorite pieces. Ready? Let’s go! Want to see it in action? Check out this video.

What’s Making Leopard Print So Hot Right Now

Leopard has always been a “fashion staple,” but right now, it’s having another moment. It’s showing up in new silhouettes, mixed with unexpected fabrics, and used in both subtle and statement ways. Chico’s “Trending Now – Leopard” section shows that the brand is leaning full into this revival. This leopard sleeveless blouse is so versatile.

They’re giving us leopard in dresses, tops, skirts, outerwear—so whether you want a whisper of print or want to go full roar, there’s something there. And the great thing? Leopard behaves like a neutral. It goes with everything. Black, white pants, denim, caramel tones, bold colors—you name it. Loving it mixed with this tweed jacket too.

Why Chico’s Leopard Prints Stand Out

I don’t throw the word “favorite” around lightly, but there are a few reasons Chico’s leopard pieces really hit for me. Especially this animal print midi dress!

1. Variety of Styles & Cuts
   Want a flowy blouse, a structured blazer, or a cozy cardigan? Chico’s animal print & leopard categories include all that and more. For example, they have leopard‑print midi dresses, slim ankle pants, pull‑on styles, sweaters, skirts—so you can pick what fits your silhouette best.

2. Quality Meets Wearability
   These prints aren’t just loud for loud’s sake. Chico’s often pairs them with good fabrics, thoughtful details, and flattering fits (hello pull‑on pants, subtle skirts, dresses with shape). They let the print work with your body rather than overpower it.

3. Flexibility in Styling
   Because leopard is so versatile, you can dial it up or down. Use a leopard blouse under a blazer, or let a full dress do the talking with minimal jewelry. And yes, layering works beautifully. Slip into leopard pants with a soft cream sweater, or a leopard jacket over a slim black slip dress—it’s all about balance.

4. “Wild & Mild” Options

   Chico’s doesn’t force you to go full animal print if that’s not your vibe. They have pieces that use leopard just on an accent (like trim or sleeve detail), and others where it’s front and center. If you’re new to print, start small. If you know you love the drama, go big!

   My Favorite Leopard Pieces at Chico’s & How I’d Style Them

   Here are some of my go‑to pieces and how I’d style them so that you get maximum impact (and compliments):

   Piece	Why I Love It	How I’d Style It
   A flowy animal print midi dress	Effortless, bold, and you don’t have to think much. One and done.	Pair with neutral block‑heel sandals or booties, a leather belt to cinch the waist, and a classic bag. Let your accessories be minimal—maybe gold hoops, maybe none.
   Fabulous blazer or jacket	Instantly elevates your outfit. Adds polish and edge.	Throw it over a white tee and jeans for casual chic, or over a monochrome look for work. A black dress + leopard blazer = a killer combo.
   Animal‑print pants or slim jeans	They do the work of color or accent, so your top can stay simple.	Solid tees, crisp button shirts, maybe a camel or nude sweater. And shoes? Nude, black, or something wild if you want to push it.
   Statement top (blouse or sweater) with leopard	Lets you dip in without going all out. Great for layering.	Tuck into high‑waisted bottoms, or over skirts. Let it shine under structured jackets or coats.

   

   

   Why Leopard from Chico’s Is Especially Great for My #TanyaTribe

   Because you, me, my fashion‑loving friends—we want pieces that feel expensive, look great, are true to our style, and have enough variety that we’re not just repeating the same pieces. Chico’s is hitting that sweet spot: quality, style, fit, and modern take on classic prints.

   Also, if you’re anything like me, you want wardrobe choices that work from brunch to boardroom, from travel to date night. Leopard delivers. A leopard scarf or bag can work with your travel outfits; a sleek leopard dress or blouse can take you through appointments or dinner. Versatility. That’s fashion sense + smart buy. The best bang for your buck!

   If you haven’t already, I want you to pick one leopard or animal‑print piece from Chico’s this season—just one—and wear it in as many ways as you can. Dress it up, dress it down, flip it, reverse it, mix it, match it. Let it surprise you. Because true style isn’t about wearing what everyone else has—it’s about wearing what you love, loud or soft, always you.

   Here’s to turning heads and feeling fierce!   xoxo - Tanya
