Forget leopard print, the latest animal print taking over the fashion world is cow print. This trend, a fresh take on cowboy culture, is popping up everywhere from celebrity outfits to high-fashion runways. So, how do you know it’s the “Next Big Thing”? Apparently, when a Kardashian toddler is spotted wearing it!
The Rise of Cow Print: From Toddlers to Runways
The latest indicator for a summer trend, it seems, isn’t about runway features or TikTok virality, but rather if a Kardashian toddler has been seen in it. And with True Thompson (Khloé Kardashian’s daughter) recently sporting the now-sold-out Prada Galleria Cow Print Bag, it confirms what many suspected: The era of leopard print is over, and we have officially entered Cow Print Summer.
We’re no strangers to animal prints, having seen everything from snake to zebra prints in stores and on runways. However, in a post-“Cowboy Carter” world, where Bella Hadid is embracing her inner rodeo star and cowboy boots continue to dominate, it’s no surprise that we’ve moved past big cats and finally arrived at bovine prints. From Holstein to Guernsey patterns, cowhide prints (or the real deal) are now adorning shoes, bags, jeans, and belts.
How to Incorporate Cow Print into Your Wardrobe
The surprising news is that the cow print trend is remarkably simple to incorporate into your existing wardrobe. A standout bag or a pair of sneakers paired with simple blue jeans is often enough to make a statement. If you’re feeling bolder, you can opt for a cow print dress to fully embrace the trend.
While Western wear is a quintessential summer vibe, cowhide—especially in coat and boot forms—is a trend expected to carry well into the fall. So, it’s time to officially say goodbye to shearling accessories and leopard spring skirts. If you’re ready to explore this “moo-worthy” trend, here are some recommended picks:
