Head of creative styling at M&S weighs in on tiger print trend
Francesca Zedda, head of creative styling at M&S comments:
“Since the 60s, animal print has been a fashion staple, loved by designers, celebrities and consumers for its ability to add confidence, character and sophistication to a look. For years, we’ve seen leopard print in the spotlight, but this autumn, tiger print is emerging as the animal print of the season.
“As we move into the colder months, our wardrobes naturally shift towards warmer, richer tones. Tiger print, with its earthy mix of copper, caramel and deep brown shades, compliments the seasonal colour palette beautifully while still making a statement. It’s a print that feels bold yet wearable, making it incredibly versatile.
“When it comes to styling tiger print, my advice is to treat it as a neutral. It works seamlessly with classic autumn shades such as black, cream and chocolate brown but can also be paired with brighter colours like reds.
“Whether worn as a standout piece or incorporated through accessories, tiger print is an effortless way to bring personality, warmth and elegance to an autumn wardrobe.”
