The Fashion Crowd Is Going All In on This Chic Handbag Trend
No matter the season, decade, or trend cycle, I will always be partial to a great animal-print piece. I'm here for leopard print, edgy tiger stripes, fun cheetah spots—you name it. However, this season, my sights have been set on one print in particular, thanks to the stylish influence of some of my favorite fashion people on Instagram. Over the past few months, I have spotted many of these chic women adding zebra-print bags to their wardrobe rotation, and I must follow suit.
Zebra print feels fun and fresh and helps to turn even the most basic of looks into a standout. Another plus? The bold print is relegated to just the handbag, so it doesn't overwhelm the entire ensemble. This is major for someone like me that likes to keep my looks on the subtler side of the fashion spectrum. Keep scrolling to check out my favorite zebra-print bag outfits of the moment and to shop each look, plus a variety of the best zebra-print bags online. From shoulder bags and totes to crossbody options and clutches, there is an option to fit every personal style.
