Okay I’m just gonna say it: the day I finally stopped being scared of animal print and went full-in on an outfit animal print my entire personality did a full 180 and I became the “cool girl who looks like she definitely has a wild side” I always saved on Pinterest. Like seriously.
Animal print is a neutral and anyone who says otherwise is just scared of being hot.
Anyway I obviously lost three entire nights on Pinterest again because I needed new ways to wear mine before my friends stage an intervention. Spoiler: the inspo is endless and it’s all stupidly fire.
9 Outfit Animal Print Ideas You’ll Be Obsessed With
Leopard Print Top with Black Straight Jeans
My daily slay. I wore this exact combo to a bar last week and the bartender gave me free shots “because you look like trouble”. I didn’t argue. The black jeans tone down the leopard just enough to look expensive.
Animal Print Skirt with Simple White Tee
Casual cool girl unlocked. I wore this running errands and got asked if I was famous three times. I never corrected them. The white tee keeps it from being too much.
Zebra Print Pants with Black Tank Top
Unexpected but elite. I wore this to a rooftop party and someone asked if I was a stylist. I said “something like that” and accepted free champagne all night. Zebra is lowkey the coolest animal print.
Snake Print Top with Leather Trousers
Rockstar girlfriend energy. I wore this to a concert after-party and got asked if I was dating the drummer. I said “maybe” and got free drinks all night.
Leopard Print Coat with Neutral Outfit
Rich aunt who parties. I wore this to a winter dinner party and the host moved me next to the fireplace. The leopard coat makes everything look expensive.
Animal Print Blazer with All-Black Look
Corporate baddie but make it wild. I wore this to a work thing and my boss’s boss said “you look like you’re about to take over the world” and two weeks later I got a raise. Animal print manifestation works.
Cheetah Print Pants with White Button-Up
Quiet luxury but make it spicy. I wore this to a gallery opening and got asked if I was the artist. I said “something like that” and accepted free champagne.
Leopard Print Dress with Ankle Boots
One-and-done slay. I wore this to my birthday dinner and the entire restaurant sang happy birthday without me asking. The leopard dress made me impossible to miss.
FAQ: Outfit Animal Print Questions I Get All The Time
Is animal print still in style?
It never left baby. Animal print is a neutral at this point. If it was good enough for the 90s it’s good enough for 2025.
How do you not look costume-y?
Keep the rest simple!! Black, white, denim, neutral basics. Let the animal print be the star, everything else supporting role.
Where to buy good animal print pieces?
Zara (their viral stuff) & Other Stories Réalisation Par Ganni if you’re fancy thrift stores (vintage animal print is gold). My current fave is a $40 Zara leopard skirt that looks like $400.
Can you wear animal print to work?
Yes if you keep it minimal!! Tailored blazer, simple top, classic shoes. I wear mine to meetings and no one bats an eye.
Anyway that’s my chaotic love letter to the outfit animal print that turned me into a jungle-cat gremlin. I went from “animal print is too much” to owning fifteen pieces in one season and I have zero regrets. If you don’t own something that makes you walk like you’re being filmed in slow motion with a bass drop fix that immediately. Your inner wild child deserves to roar.
