THE leopard print trend was huge in the 90s - and it's definitely found its way back to the high street this summer.

So if you fancy channelling your inner Scary Spice with the spotty style then you’re in luck, as the store has got your fashion needs covered across loads of items.
It's not just shoppers loving the M&S buys either, as a worker admitted anything in the print "makes her smile" and keeps her coming back.
Posting on the Stirling store's TikTok page, the employee said: "If someone asked me if I liked leopard print I would say yeah it's nice.
"But if someone asked me on a deeper level I would say leopard print is what keeps me coming into M&S.
"Seeing leopard print on delivery brings a smile to my day."
She added: "It makes me feel like Mel B when she was in her leopard print era or Kat Slater from Eastenders.
"I would simply make me feel like a baddy just picturing myself in leopard print.
"I go to sleep at night thinking about leopard print."

Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peek of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
