When it comes to the biggest trends in fashion, you might just say the cat is out of the bag. Feline prints like leopard, cheetah and tiger too, are all the rage and dedicated fashionistas have gone wild for them. Puss is not only in boots, but on them, as well as on everything from pumps to bags and jackets to hats. But perhaps the most popular place for a paw print these days is on skinny jeans. And somehow I manged to resist giving into their temptations until I spotted J Brand’s Snow Leopard pair. These pants are just too, um, purrfect to pass up.

Boasting the same fabulous fit the brand is famous for, these printed jeans are a chic—and welcome—alternative to solids. Go bold by day and pair them with this season’s most sought after cropped coat, Rebecca Minkoff’s Becky Jacket in an electrifying orange—the hottest hue for 2012, by the way. Layer a simple white tank underneath, slip on a black platform pump, and finish off with an of-the-moment wide brim felt fedora.  Or, let these super sexy skinnies be your alternative to black by night by wearing them with a shimmery and sleek metallic tank, a sky high suede platform sandal, and some heavy metal such as this sculptural statement necklace and this cone chain bracelet.  With their fierce and flattering fit and ferociously chic print, these lust worthy jeans bring a whole new meaning to sex kitten.
