The Zebra Print Dress Is Finally Getting Its Moment

For many, the term “animal print” is synonymous with “leopard print”—but lately, other animal prints have made their way to the forefront of our sartorial lexicons. We’ve seen snake prints and even cow prints (!) taking over the scene the past few years, and now, zebra prints are finally getting their moment in the spotlight. And like any other trendy print, this one works extraordinarily well in dress form. This season, it’s all about plus-size zebra print dresses (and we’re not complaining).

No shade to any other animal print, but there’s just something so fresh and bold about a zebra print. Perhaps it’s the nod to the ’80s or the fact that this trend is high-contrast and unexpected in the best ways. Zebra prints feel at-once trendy and retro—which, in turn, makes them incredibly unique. While leopard and snake prints can begin to serve as neutrals rather than statement-making pieces, plus-size zebra print dresses do the opposite.

Here’s the kicker, though: Zebra prints are still just as easy to style as other animal prints. Typically (though not always), zebra prints are offered in black and white hues. This allows us to go even bolder with accessories. Adding a neon bag, colorful sneakers, or over-the-top sunglasses is such a fun way to spice up your zebra print dresses.

From zebra print minis and midis to seriously chic blazer dresses, there are so many incredible styles from which to choose. Head to date night in a gorgeous zebra print mini dress and heels this weekend. Or, opt for a zebra midi dress and your favorite chunky sneakers for a can’t-miss street style look. You can even make a power move and wear a zebra print blazer dress to your next meeting. Go bold or go home, right?

So move over, leopard prints. There’s a new animal in town—and she’s seriously fierce.
