Tessa Wide Jeans Animal Print

The Tessa Wide Jeans bring a Black Denim Leopard animal print to a wide-leg cut, made in a cotton blend with a touch of elastane for a bit of give. A bold pick for women who want their trousers to carry the look on their own.

Most animal-print pieces read as a small accent. These put the print front and centre across a full-length wide leg, so a plain top is all the styling they need to stand out.

The wide leg is the reason to reach for these. It drops straight from the hip for a long, clean line, and the small amount of stretch means they move with you through the day.

How to wear them

• Pair with a simple white tee, a leather jacket and trainers for an everyday look with an edge
• Go sharper with a black blouse and a blazer when you want to dress the print up

Not for you if you'd rather keep patterns to the accessories.
