Animal print is one of the biggest fashion trends for fall, and this year it feels less like a bold statement and more like a wardrobe essential. Leopard, zebra, and the softest faux fur are showing up on everything from tailored coats to cozy cropped jackets, which makes the print easy to wear no matter your personal style. I have been slowly building my own collection of animal print outerwear over the past few seasons, and it has become one of the most versatile categories in my closet. Below I am sharing ten of my favorite animal print and faux fur coats and jackets for fall, so you can shop the trend in one place instead of hunting across a dozen different websites.


  • leopard-print knitted coat
  • Djinn zebra-print coat
  • A longline ponyhair coat with a rich, light-catching finish. Luminous depth brings after-dark elegance to the classic trench
  • Topshop faux fur high neck cinch jacket in brown deer print

Why Animal Print Is a Fall Fashion Staple

Animal print has a way of showing up every fall, and it is not just a passing trend. Designers keep reinventing it season after season, from classic leopard spots to fresh takes like zebra stripes and ponyhair textures. Part of what makes it so popular is how easily it works as a neutral. A leopard or animal print coat pairs with denim, black, camel, and cream just as easily as a solid colored coat would, but it adds instant texture and interest to an outfit that might otherwise feel plain.

How To Style an Animal Print Coat or Jacket

The easiest way to wear animal print outerwear is to let the coat or jacket do the talking and keep everything underneath simple. A plain sweater, jeans, and boots is all you need to make a faux fur or leopard coat look intentional rather than costume like. For a more polished daytime look, try layering an animal print jacket over a turtleneck and trousers. At night, a ponyhair or faux fur coat thrown over a simple black dress instantly elevates the whole outfit. Animal print is also a great way to bring warmth and texture into a fall capsule wardrobe without adding another solid colored piece you already own.
