Cat Deeley just wore leopard ear muffs with a matching scarf and gloves - they're the chicest accessories for winter

There can never be too much leopard print in your wardrobe, can there? And now we're adding leopard print accessories to it too after spotting Cat Deeley in a matching leopard print scarf, gloves and pair of ear muffs.

When it comes to putting together the perfect winter capsule wardrobe, practicality is key. You need a host of basic staples that will get you through the season in warmth and style, with cosy knitwear, flattering winter coats and versatile denim pieces being go-tos that will work for everything from days in the office, to cosy weekend lounging pieces, and of course, for some Christmas party outfits as well.

But what about those winter accessories that we tend to overlook? Our hats, scarfs and gloves are basic elements that we keep on hand throughout the season but Cat Deeley has reminded us that the functional accessories can be both practical and stylish with her stunning leopard print ensemble.

Stepping out on the This Morning runway to show off her modelling skills as well as her stunning winter accessories, Cat showed off her leopard print ear muffs, matching scarf and fluffy mittens. Once we got over her hilarious, cat-like prowl, we couldn't stop thinking about the fluffy winter staples and how chic they were!

Sure, the practical pieces looked a little out of place with her festive velvet suit jacket from Mango and the matching Mango red velvet suit trousers, but styled the right way, the ear muffs, scarf and mittens make for the perfect finishing touch to any winter look.

For a casual though elevated everyday look, pair your favourite denim jeans with a chunky knitted jumper, a pair of winter boots and a chic trench coat, then layer on your leopard print accessories to let them stand out as the look's centre piece. Or lean into the wild animal-centric look with a leopard print long-sleeve top or crew neck jumper, and maybe even some super on-trend leopard print ballet flats, for a maximalist style that will really catch the eye.

For something a little more sophisticated, pair a trendy leopard print midi skirt with a black roll neck jumper, a pair of leather knee-high boots, and your leopard print accessories, with the busy patterns complimenting each other for a chic and elegant look.

Or you can lean into bright and festive colours, with the leopard print acting as the neutral we all know it to really be. Taking inspiration from Cat, start with a pair of bold and colourful trousers, ground the statement shade with a black top, and add your fluffy leopard print winter staples for a pop of pattern and texture.
