Step Aside, Leopard—Zebra Print Is Officially “It” for 2025

Just as the leopard-print trend is reaching a fever pitch, another animal is already hot on its heels. Don’t get me wrong—I don’t see the trend going anywhere anytime soon and to be fair, I’ve personally invested in it myself, but this season, designers, retail brands, and celebrities alike are posing a united front on a new It print that feels like a fresh evolution of the animal-printed theme that we’re seeing play out across fashion right now. With that, we’re officially introducing zebra print as the “It” print to know for 2025.

With its graphic black-and-white stripes that go with all manner of neutrals and both gold and silver jewelry accents, I’d even argue that zebra is much easier to incorporate into your wardrobe and style than leopard print. The fashion world seems to agree here, as the print is suddenly popping up all over the market at retail favorites like J.Crew, Mango, and Zara. To be fair, Alaïa was one of the first to put zebra on the runway in a major way with a printed maxi coat in its fall 2022 collection, followed by Jacquemus, who dressed celebrities like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the print for its “La Casa” collection staged in Capri last summer.
