Zebra Print: How to Wear It and Look Expensive
Animal print looks intimidating only when it stands alone — pair it with calm basics and one accent, and it simply works.
Many women "avoid" this print because it seems impractical. But we're here to debunk that myth — once you know a few simple rules, zebra print pairs easily with other pieces.
How do you tame an animal print? Here are a few simple approaches:
Make zebra the centerpiece of your look.
If it's a matching set, feel free to get the whole thing. But balance it with solid, understated accessories.
Black-and-white zebra looks great alongside bold color. If you're adding a bright piece, keep it solid — no prints, rhinestones, embroidery, or other embellishments, or the look will end up too "heavy".
If you're hesitant, or think this print isn't for you, choose a printed "bottom" (trousers, a skirt, shorts). And pair it with a "top" in a different color (a top, T-shirt, shirt, turtleneck).
It's important not to overload the look with details, since animal prints are statement pieces on their own and don't tolerate too many bold additions.
As a rule, all animal prints mix beautifully with basics. So if you're not sure how to work an animal print into your wardrobe, just pair it with basics.
