If you loved summer 2018's animal-print-everything trend, then you're in luck because the cool girls are dusting off their spots for another season. The concrete jungle is looking like a real-life nature documentary lately with the cheetah-themed street style that's taken over Manhattan. Not even West Coaster Kendall Jenner could resist wearing a leopard-print dress while out in East Village on Weds.

The model has been in the Big Apple for less than a week and already, she's turned into a bonafide New Yorker, radiating retro chicness on a casual run to the corner shop for a can of Coke and now adhering to the timeless print that's currently monopolizing the city.

It's clear to see by the streets of Manhattan that the leopard midi skirt, in particular, did not go away after its big breakout a year ago. In fact, it seemed to have only gotten more popular. The craze is so widespread that someone has recently dedicated an entire Instagram to it, aptly named @leopardmidiskirt.

Now, the wildly infectious print gets a coveted stamp of approval from the ultimate trendsetter, Kendall Jenner. Be ready to do some major dress-and-boots pairings after you see the way she styled her summer mini.

The 23-year-old put on a short Reformation dress with a smocked bodice and spaghetti straps for her day out on Weds. The dress, made of lightweight linen with a ruffled hem, was only $200 when it was still in stock.

However, the mini has seemingly sold out within 24 hours of Jenner wearing it. That's what happens when a supermodel wears something everyday girls can actually afford. Soon enough, you'll be seeing this animal-print dress everywhere you look.

Perhaps people will be inspired to follow the model's lead and pair the mini with tall, leather boots. Her black knee-highs are by Stuart Weitzman and they added the perfect amount of edge to the trendy dress.
