If leopard has been your ride-or-die for years, allow me to gently introduce you to its cooler, slightly more fashion-editor cousin: zebra print. Spotted all over Copenhagen Fashion Week (often styled in that effortless Scandi way), this monochrome animal print is shaping up to be the pattern of spring 2026.
The beauty of zebra is that it somehow reads both bold and neutral at the same time. It adds interest without overwhelming an outfit, which makes it surprisingly easy to wear day to day. Whether you want to dip a toe in with accessories or go all-in with a statement coat, I’ve broken down the best pieces to shop right now.
Zebra print bags
If you’re looking for the easiest entry point, make it a bag. A zebra-print accessory instantly elevates even the simplest jeans-and-tee outfit and it works year-round.
The H&M leather crossbody (£89.99) is the kind of understated piece you’ll reach for daily – compact but polished. For something more directional, & Other Stories’ animal-print leather tote (£169) taps into that chic, practical Scandi energy we saw all over Copenhagen. Meanwhile, Reformation’s Elena shoulder bag (£348) is one for the fashion purists: sleek, sculptural and destined to sell out. If you want maximum impact (and compliments), John Lewis’ intentional hair leather tote (£159) brings texture and print to the table.
Zebra print accessories
Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Zebra accessories are perfect if you’re trend-curious but not ready to commit fully.
Arket’s printed silk scarf (£45) can be tied around your neck, bag or even worn as a top once temperatures rise. For a playful finishing touch, M&S’ enamel zebra irregular hoop earrings (£15) add just enough personality without overpowering your look.
Zebra print shoes
Animal print shoes have a magical way of making an outfit feel styled without trying. This season, it’s all about contrast – zebra worn with soft tailoring, denim or sporty separates.
H&M’s pointed mules (£27.99) are the ultimate low-commitment trend buy (and yes, they look far more expensive than they are). For everyday wear, Next’s zebra ballerina flats (£45) feel timeless but still fashion-forward. If you’re thinking transitional weather, the Next heeled ankle boots (£88) are a strong contender while Adidas’ SL 72 OG trainers (£90) prove zebra works just as well in a sporty context.
Zebra coats and jackets
If you want to make zebra the main character, outerwear is the way to do it. A statement coat instantly transforms even the most basic outfit underneath.
The Topshop zebra print funnel-neck trench (£100) feels very Copenhagen – practical, directional and easy to throw on. For something more elevated, Arket’s jacquard jacket (£229) offers a subtler take on the trend that still feels incredibly fashion-forward.
Zebra print trousers
Printed trousers are quietly becoming a spring staple and zebra feels like the natural next step after leopard and cow print.
H&M’s barrel-leg twill trousers (£32.99) are relaxed, cool and ideal for everyday styling while Mango’s zebra straight-fit jeans (£49.99) are perfect if you want something that feels bold but still wearable with a plain knit or white tee.
Zebra print co-ords
And if you’re ready to go all in, matching sets are where zebra really comes into its own. Coordinated pieces make the print feel intentional rather than overpowering, especially when the silhouettes are relaxed.
Mango’s printed foulard blouse (£35.99) and straight-fit trousers (£45.99) strike the perfect balance between statement and wearable – great together but just as strong styled separately. H&M’s pintucked top (£37.99) and matching skirt (£54.99) lean slightly more romantic, ideal if you like your animal print with a softer edge.
