It’s also, perhaps more so than the leopard print, a very resortwear-friendly pattern, which is why it’s set to dominate next spring, and perhaps even earlier as everyone jets off to sunnier shore for their dose of winter sun.
But if you feel you fall into neither of the above buckets, never fear, there are ways to start incorporating the popular print through more subtle pieces like trousers or accessories.

We love how Rosie Huntington-Whiteley put an Old Hollywood spin on her look, for instance, pairing her knee-length zebra skirt with a square neck top, while social media icon Grece Ghanem paired her printed trousers with a cool denim shirt. Their looks offer the style tip to note when wearing zebra which is to let the print do the talking and keep the rest of the look pared-back.
If zebra print clothing still feels a little too farfetched for you, accessories are the way to go. A pair of striped booties perhaps that could be styled as a neutral with just about anything, or maybe the Jacquemus striped bucket bag, anyone?

The point is, zebra print, in my humble opinion is probably even easier to style than leopard, so even though it’s set to rule your FYPs next year, it’s never too early to get ahead of the trend.
