The Trend Dominating the Street Style Scene Is Only $40

by Anna LaPlaca

Animal prints of all kinds are having a moment right now, but above all it's zebra print that we're seeing all over the street style scene. From NYC to Paris and back again, the zebra-print pieces are dominating, and trust us, they're actually way less scary to style than you think. Minimalists and maximalists alike are on board as you're about to see in a few moments.

Just like all massive trends, there are a zillion different zebra-print items to choose from. So before you start to get dizzy with all the possibilities, let us introduce you to our version. Just like we've done with trends in the past, we created our affordable own spin on this print. Meet the zebra-print sweaterdress we designed for our Who What Wear collection, which you can easily score for less than $40. But since we know it can be a tricky one to tackle (especially if you identify as a minimalist), we went ahead and sourced our favorite outfit ideas with the printed dress.

Ahead, see how fashion girls style zebra print on the street style scene and then shop our affordable version at Target.

Style Tip: Adding in a bright accessory is never a bad idea. Zebra print might be bold, but it can also work as a neutral against brighter tones.

Our associate beauty editor Courtney notes, "I'm a petite gal, so creating shape is of paramount importance to me, especially when it comes to dresses. I love the tie at the waist detail here for that reason. I can't wait to wear this all season."
