If you’ve stepped into any retail store lately, you may have noticed a new trend hitting the shelves. Taking the place of safe, solid and nude colors,cow-print is back, and it’s here to stay.Animal print, in general, has been around. But when it comes to cow-print, we are starting to see an uptick in the trend after it went quiet for a bit. You may recall seeing the print on your favorite socialites in the early 2010s, or the iconic “Friends” episode where Rachel Green doused herself in the eclectic pattern. Today, the bold pattern has gained the Coach stamp of approval, while celebrities such as Rihanna and Emily Ratajkowski have adopted it for their street style. The rising popularity of Western aesthetics is to credit for the print’s comeback. Cowboy-esque fashion, from spurred boots to suede vests, has re-emerged as culture influencers (such as Beyoncé and her Cowboy Carter era) experiment with fashion that’s rooted in southern style. If you’re wondering exactly how to style cow print, you’re not alone. From accessories to bold outerwear, the print can be worn in a variety of ways. Parade spoke with two celebrity stylists for the 4-1-1 on the bold pattern and the eight best ways to rock cow print in any which way.Related: 9 Best Ways To Style Loafers, According to a Celebrity Stylist
Animal print has always been popular, but cheetah and leopard spots held a grip on the fashion industry for many years. While iconic brands, including Dior and Calvin Klein, once experimented with cow print, at one point, the rural print was considered cheap. Fast-forward to today, and the soft-to-the-touch cow hide is considered a refreshing alternative for those craving animal patterns and the epitome of luxury, according to KJ Moody, celebrity stylist and a cousin of Beyoncé.“There was a moment when cow prints became as tacky as a cheetah print,” says Moody. “But today, cow print has pulled through and now represents luxury with a high level of chicness!”
What Goes Well With Cow Print?
Styling a patterned print can feel intimidating. However, with the right mixture of solids and textures, it can create an elevated and polished look while differentiating you from the crowd. According to Julie Matos, a fashion and style director who has worked with celebrities such as Avengers actress Cobie Smulders and singer Carrie Underwood, the key is balance. “Let the print be the statement and keep the rest of the look clean, tonal, or luxe,” she explains. “Denim, leather, crisp shirting and even pops of neon or metallics pair beautifully. Think of cow print as a bold backdrop you can elevate with textures or polish with tailoring.” Related: These 7 New ‘Must-Buy’ Outfits on Walmart Are Giving Us All the Fall Feels

This cow-print jacket, worn off the shoulder, gives a clean and crisp look when paired with complementary neutrals.

These cow-print wide-leg jeans are the ultimate fusion of western and trendy. Paired with open-toed sandals and a leather bomber jacket, the various textures add depth for a versatile look that can be dressed up or down. “The straight-leg cut keeps them wearable, and the monochrome palette makes them surprisingly versatile,” Matos comments.

This cow-print combination gently teeters on the edge of sophistication and modernity. Crisp, clean lines provide a straightforward and no-nonsense demeanor, while the short sleeves dictate cool and relaxed vibes. Paired with high-waisted shorts and a swanky bucket hat, the look is the perfect storm of eccentric and gallant. “I love the oversized fit of the shirt, and adding a floral print bucket hat, pairing it with a cow print shirt is very daring!" Moody shares. "But because the hat and shirt are black and white, they actually pair together very well. This look is for the fearless!”
6. Western grace
Draped in tassels, the cleverly designed asymmetry of this dress complements the figure, while the contrasting stitched black-and-white cow patches add breadth and fullness to the look, making it perfect for the red carpet, according to Matos.“The sleek silhouette balances the boldness of the pattern, proving it can be elegant and powerful in a formal setting,” she says.
7. Luxe hide
Outerwear is a great chance to experiment, and this cow-print trench coat proves it. A combination of creams, browns and neutrals creates a warm and inviting essence, while cow-print patches and a leather trim create a luxurious and rich feel. “What I love about cow print is [that] it can look luxurious if done correctly," Moody explains. "The fabric is great, the print is great, paired with leather pants and the wide collar turtle neck, it’s glorious!"
8. Peekaboo print
Simple yet daring, this peekaboo keyhole tank top can be used as a playful layer to pair with solids.
