Hold the Leopard—This Lesser-Worn Animal Print Is Cementing Its Way Into the Classics
Listen. I don't choose the trends; I just decode them, and what I'm noticing after the latest Copenhagen, New York, London, Milan, and Paris fashion weeks as well as when I do my daily perusal of e-comm's new arrivals is that zebra print is coming for leopard's spot this season—no pun intended. That's right, though. Whether in RTW, bags, shoes, beachwear, or other accessories, zebra is the latest print on its way to becoming so commonplace it's basically a neutral. Of course, all this is also corroborated by some of our favorite brands' designs, including Khaite, Alaïa, The Attico, and more. Not bad company to be in, amirite? To shop all my zebra-print picks for spring or to simply take a gander and, perhaps, start to come around to the idea of wearing the wild print, simply keep scrolling.
