I never believed that animal print could appear classy and elegant, but these 7 outfits have truly changed my mind.
The phrase we often say when getting dressed each day? "I have nothing to wear." The second most frequent? Likely some variation of "How can I make this outfit more exciting?" Fortunately, one of the season's top trends offers an elegant solution: animal print. If that resonates with you, you’ve come to the right place. But if images of Ab Fab outfits come to mind when you hear 'animal print,' give me a chance to change your perspective. You'll be pleased to discover we've moved past the era of boldly patterned leopard coats and cheetah jeans—not that those pieces aren’t stylish. This season, the must-have items include snake print boots, leopard print belts, and cow print jackets—all of which can instantly enhance an outfit with minimal effort. Ready to embrace your wild side? Keep scrolling for 7 fashionable looks featuring animal print in various styles—featuring leopard, cow, zebra, and even Dalmatian prints.
### 7 Animal Print Outfits for Inspiration:
1. **Cow Print Jacket + White Jeans**
**Style Notes:** Jacket season is officially here, and if you’re looking to add something fresh to your outerwear collection that’s not your usual denim, trench, or leather jacket, a cow print could be your next great choice. Layla demonstrates that this print can be quite chic while still fitting in with a neutral color scheme—ideal for those who prefer oat milk latte aesthetics.
**Shop the Look:**
- Superdown: Leah Cow Print Jacket. Treat this cow print jacket like a timeless brown piece, offering endless styling possibilities.
- White jeans tend to be even easier to style than favorite blue denim.
- If you have plenty of leather boots, consider suede as a stylish fall alternative.
- Massimo Dutti: Split Leather Maxi Bag. This roomy bag is your new everyday companion—effortlessly stylish yet relaxed.
2. **Dalmatian Print Bag + Brown Skirt**
**Style Notes:** If you're hesitant about incorporating animal prints but not entirely sold on them, a bag featuring the pattern could be a worthwhile investment. It pairs well with numerous outfits and serves as a simple addition rather than a foundational piece. Just take a cue from Alice Satterthwaite.
**Shop the Look:**
- & Other Stories: Animal-Print Leather Tote Bag. Alice’s Dalmatian print bag is from Topshop and often sells out quickly; this alternative from & Other Stories is just as stylish, plus dedicated vintage fashion enthusiasts might find her exact bag.
- ALIGNE: Mia Linen Maxi Skirt. A brown linen maxi skirt can be styled throughout the year with the right footwear.
- This short-sleeve shirt features an elasticated base, making it easy to layer over jeans, skirts, and dresses.
- Missoma: Chubby Medium Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings. A chunky silver earring is simple enough for daily wear but still adds a touch of flair.
3. **Snake Print Boots + Cream Outfit**
**Style Notes:** If you want to add a flair to any outfit, animal print is the trend to embrace. Accessories in snake, leopard, cow, or zebra instantly enhance any look, bringing a breath of fresh air even to the most basic ensembles. Case in point: Marilyn NK's all-cream outfit paired with snake print boots.
**Shop the Look:**
- The Attico: 65mm Lea Snake Print Leather Boots. These boots have already sold out at various retailers, proving their popularity.
- Nobodys Child: White Linen-Blend Jerrow Wide Leg Trousers. Cuff these trousers to showcase more of the animal print boots.
- Toteme: Summer Parachute Jacket Oyster. This cream parachute jacket is your go-to for fall, spring, and even a cool summer day.
- SPINELLI KILCOLLIN: Solarium Set of Three 18-Karat Gold and Sterling Silver Rings. These rings are on the wish lists of many fashion insiders right now.
4. **Zebra Print Jacket + Black Trousers**
**Style Notes:** Animal print ensembles aren’t just for those who favor bold styles. As Ama Godson shows, adding the right animal print can elevate even the simplest outfits. Plus, zebra print seamlessly fits into a black and white color scheme.
**Shop the Look:**
- Mango: Zebra Print Cropped Jacket in White. I’d be surprised if this jacket stays in stock much longer; the matching skirt sold out quickly.
- VARLEY: The Extra Wide Leg Pleated Doublesoft® Wide-Leg Pants. These trousers are designed for comfort, making any outfit cozier.
- COS: V-Neck Cotton T-Shirt. Yes, you may have a closet full of crewneck tees
