A cat print is one of those designs people look for as soon as temperatures drop: friendly, humorous and very easy to wear when styled well. NEW IN has seven cat-print pieces ready for this autumn.

Here is what’s in, how to style it so it feels like everyday clothing (not a joke), and a light nod to 31 October.

The seven cat-print pieces in NEW IN

• Pisa Gato jacket (red or green): a long-sleeved knit jacket with a retro feel, with black-and-white cats and small colour details.
• Atenas Gato shirt (red or green): a viscose shirt with collar and buttons. The red one has a black background with white cats and a few red ones; the green one a white background with black silhouettes and the odd green cat.
• Berna Gatos shirt: round neck, puffed sleeves and a cat-and-flower print on a beige background.
• Kiev Gatos skirt: a short pleated skirt with a waistband, beige with cats and flowers in yellow, pink and black.
• Amsterdam Gatos short dress: cotton on a cream background with black kittens, flowers and colourful details, flared cut and defined waist.

How to wear a cat print without overdoing it

The key is to make the print the only star of the look. Choose one piece with cats and surround it with basics in a colour that already appears in the design (black, cream, red or green).

• Atenas or Berna shirt: with straight black trousers or dark denim and ankle boots. If it’s cold, a plain jacket on top.
• Pisa jacket: open over a white tee and jeans, or over a plain dress to break up the silhouette.
• Kiev skirt: with a fine jumper or a plain shirt, opaque tights and flat shoes.
• Amsterdam dress: with tights, ankle boots and a knit jacket in a neutral tone.

A nod to 31 October

If 31 October finds you with dinner, the cinema or drinks, a cat print is the perfect wink: it’s noticed, it has its humour and it’s still clothing you’ll wear a thousand times afterwards. Effortless: your usual look with a seasonal touch.
