2018 was undeniably the year of animal prints, gracing ankle boots, dresses, shirts, blazers, and coats. The trend powers into 2019, but a surprising newcomer is poised to outshine leopard and python: cow print. Drawing from the iconic white coat with brown spots of the Norman cattle breed, this daring pattern was first championed by celebrities before hitting ready-to-wear shelves. The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, exemplified elegance during her visit to Smart Works charity last week, pairing an Oscar de la Renta trench coat with eye-catching Gianvito Rossi pumps in cow print. Victoria Beckham made her own statement with a sleek sheath skirt-and-shirt set from her latest collection.
This print stands out for its quirky charm—proof you don't take fashion too seriously—while its neutral black-and-white tones pair seamlessly with any accessories or outfits, even vibrant pops of color for an ultra-stylish vibe. Men can embrace it too! For a subtle start, try a belt, backpack, scarf, sneakers, or ballet flats. Instagram is exploding with standout looks; browse our favorites below for inspiration (and motivation) to dive in. Trust us, you'll be moo-velous! P.S.
