After a flurry of Black Friday purchases, I made a firm promise to myself that the only shopping I’d be doing from here until January would be Christmas presents. That was, until I saw Olivia Colman’s magnificent leopard print coat.
She attended the War Child gala dinner in London last week, wearing black and white tailoring paired with double drop earrings and some lace-up wingtip heels. But it was the award-winning actress’s outerwear that really stole the show for me.

Raglan-Sleeve Wool-Blend Coat
Olivia’s exact coat has now sold out, but you can rent it at By Rotation. Hiring a winter coat is genius in so many ways – you can rent this one for 28 days or more, which will take you right through every festive event in your calendar!
The Rixo Milly leopard print coat is a fashion editor favourite, and I really fell hard when I tried it. My favourite thing about this one is that it’s a really sleek silhouette, whereas some faux fur coats can feel really bulky. Well worth the investment if you ask me.

Leopard Print Faux Fur Long Coat
When wearing a motif as bold as leopard, it’s a good idea to keep other design details to a minimum to allow the print to do all the talking. This one manages that perfectly, and looks much more expensive than it is.
Who needs a shopping ban, eh? A leopard print coat is one of the best things you can add to your winter capsule wardrobe and will win you endless compliments, so it’s well worth treating yourself. I won’t buy anything in January. Honestly…
