When a particular designer item goes viral, it's almost second nature to start hunting for a great high street alternative. This week, Marks & Spencer's Animal Print Bow Puff Sleeve Blouse, £35 is the item making waves as the high street's answer to the Ganni leopard blouse, £185 that every fashion (and non-fashion) person is obsessed with.
The M&S leopard blouse perfectly captures the essence of what made the Ganni piece such a hit. The puff sleeves add a dramatic flair, while the subtle bow detailing makes the blouse somewhat more playful. The leopard print itself is a classic (and the ultimate print for summer 2024) making it an effortless statement top that works as well with a tailored skirt and sandals, as it does with a pair of jeans and boots.
It's not everyday that a high street find rivals a designer favourite, and at £150 cheaper than the original, it should hardly come as a surprise that Marks & Spencer's leopard blouse is already sold out in a few sizes.
