Animal print is a neutral. Full stop.

It goes with everything, works across seasons and somehow makes nearly any mix more interesting. We come back to it again and again, and some of our favorite brands do too.

THE CORE

This leopard is so good that Mini Rodini made it permanent. The core collection covers all the bases, from soft stretch jersey to seriously cozy fleece, with styles available for both baby & kids.  We love this saturated animal print mixed into a wardrobe like any other neutral, but head-to-toe certainly has its place too.


THE OUTER LAYER

Tiny Cottons takes leopard into proper cold-weather territory with this super smart shearling-lined jacket. It has all the warmth and substance you want from an outer layer, but the print is what gives it staying power. If animal print is a neutral, this is the kind of coat that comes back year after year and works with whatever happens to be underneath.


THE SET

Piupiuchick has a knack for cheetah, and this season's version is no exception. The blouse + trouser set has plenty of impact worn together, while each piece easily mixes back into the rest of your little one's wardrobe.  We especially love the completely unisex trousers paired with a graphic tee or sweatshirt.  As for the socks?  Same idea, different direction, adding a welcomed bit of contrast to finish any look.


Leopard, cheetah, whatever the variation. We’ll always make room for animal print.
