The animal prints of 2026 are changing the rules
Fresh patterns confirm that animal prints are more relevant than ever.
Animal print is that bold element that has managed to become a wardrobe classic. As with all classic values, this season it is being redefined through fresh and different patterns, while always remaining relevant. The Spring/Summer 2026 catwalks feature many variations of animal print, moving away from its wild nature and the more femme fatale looks with which it has been associated.
The bambi print
In 2026, there will be room for new patterns besides leopard, such as the more delicate and romantic bambi print that captures the colors of the deer and has already been seen in the collections of Valentino and Ferragamo.
The new zebra print
Zebra print remains hot, but this season it appears more understated. The stripes are not perfectly symmetrical and the colours seem to blend together in a visual game.
Snake print
A pattern that always has the power to attract attention and add intensity. This season, snakes made a splash in the Michael Kors collection, featuring in bold accessories that are changing the aesthetic of summer.
