We love how model and entrepreneur Rosie Huntington-Whiteley put an Old Hollywood spin on her look, for instance, pairing her knee-length zebra skirt with a boatneck black tank top, simple black sandals, and elegant understated accessories. Same goes for fashion influencer Grece Ghanem, who paired her zebra print trousers with a relaxed denim shirt and neutral shoes and bag. Their looks are perfect examples of ways to let a zebra print piece shine while keeping the rest of the outfit pared back.
If you are looking to go a bit bolder, we suggest playing with zebra print in an alternate color palette (neons like green and yellow are worth a try!), adding a statement top, or playing with layers.
The point is, zebra print doesn’t have to intimidating and—without the baggage that leopard print often comes with (hello, mob wife aesthetic), it’s easier than ever to experiment with the vibe.
We’re already predicting it being all over your FYPs next year, so it’s never too early to get ahead of the trend. Below, shop a few of our favorite zebra items.
