With decades of A-list devotees (from Kate Moss in the ’90s to Jennifer Lawrence more recently), it seems the animal print trend will never *fully* go out of style. Just last month, Dua Lipa wore a tiger print coat while on a date night in Paris, proving that roar-worthy stripes are preying on our wardrobes this season.
Making our way through the pack, deer print is making its mark in the accessory world following fashion show season in the Northern Hemisphere, and let’s not forget when Solange Knowles stepped out in cow print slippers during New York Fashion Week last year.
The bottom line? From oversized coats to fluid dresses and statement accessories, this year’s take on the animal print trend feels bolder yet more discreet, giving us a confident return to expressive dressing.
Animal print trends for 2026
Tiger Print
From Rihanna to Dua Lipa, tiger print is proving to be the animal print of the season.
For a loud approach to the trend, layer a tiger print coat over your outfit (like our fave celebs do so well).
After something a little more subtle? You can’t go wrong with a bag or pair of shoes.

While the accessories category flaunts this print well, expect to spot deer-print jackets and bottoms, too.

Thanks to its ability to act as a neutral, leopard print is one of those patterns that can go with just about anything.
A pair of leopard print jeans with a white tee and sneakers? Very cute. A red dress with a long leopard coat? The perfect match.
