It's safe to say that leopard print has, and continues to be the motif of the year, with plenty of designers jumping on the bandwagon to release spotty dresses, jeans (namely the Damson Madder pair) and ballet flats. So, when Marks & Spencer released its latest animal-printed dress, it's no surprise that every fashion person under the sun has since jumped at the chance to snap it up for themselves.
The M&S Animal Print Round Neck Mini Shift Dress, £29.50 is already causing a stir on Instagram even though it was only launched by the brand mere days ago. Trust us when we say that when teamed with the right accessories, this leopard print dress is about to become the hardest-working item in your wardrobe this spring/summer. Team with chunky sandals and a raffia tote bag for a wander around the city, or dress it up with strappy heels and a slick of red lipstick for cocktails in the sun. For more casual rendezvous, dig out your favourite ballet flats and oversized shades for the ultimate warm-weather look.

This shift dress is comfortable and features a round neck, sleeveless design. Pair with ballet flats and throw over a cardigan for an effortlessly stylish nineties inspired look.
If you've been paying attention, you'll know that this isn't Marks & Spencer's first rodeo when it comes to creating stand-out leopard print wardrobe staples. Take the sell-out Leopard Bow Puff Sleeve Blouse, £35, which has been likened to Ganni's Leopard Print Poplin Blouse, as well as the M&S Leopard Print Midi Dressthat practically became a best-seller overnight.
We suspect the brand's newest release will follow a similar path of success. Shop M&S' newest leopard print dress below, which comes in petite, regular and tall lengths and in sizes 6-24.
