If there's one brand that knows how to do leopard print, it's Ganni. Famous for its, well, leopard everything, Ganni has mastered the print and even sent it viral, too. Last year, Ganni's Leopard Poplin Peplum Tie Blouse was spotted in practically every influencer selfie, while its Leopard Betzy Jeans also gained incredible momentum on social media due to their flattering cut. After the success of Ganni's Tie Blouse, the brand released a new addition – the Leopard Printed Tie String Mini Dress, which features some of the same elements as the sell-out blouse. But the high street can't resist a dupe (neither can we), and M&S has released its own version of the dress, for under £30.
The dress mirrors the luxe feel of its high-end counterpart, including the recognisable tie detailing. It's a piece that feels both modern and classic, versatile enough to take you from the office to an evening out with just a change of shoes.

Of course, leopard has remained a smash hit since last summer, acting as a cool antidote to the floral prints we're so used to seeing at this time of year. From Maya Jama to Simone Ashley, plenty of celebrities have been wearing it recently and the shops are full of leopard pieces, too.
Given the similarities between M&S's dress and the OG Ganni style paired with the fact that the dress is incredibly flattering and wearable, we're sure this particular midi will sell out fast.

This dress from M&S almost features the exact same rich and bold leopard print as the Ganni one. With its puff sleeves, ties at the neck and flattering length, style this dress with a pair of cowboy boots or ballet flats, and a statement bag.

The original Ganni dress features the same detailing as its viral blouse, with an open round neckline and tie closures. For an evening out, style the dress with a classic pair of knee-high boots, or for more of a day affair, simply add some fisherman sandals.
