2018 was undeniably the year of animal prints. It was everywhere, on ankle boots, dresses, shirts, blazers and even coats, and the trend continues in 2019. However, a new "animal skin" is about to eclipse the leopard and python staples, and we didn't see it coming… It's the cow print, which is inspired by the coat of the so-called Norman cattle breed, known for its white coat covered with brown spots. The motif, rather daring it must be admitted, was adopted by celebrities even before invading the shelves of ready-to-wear brands. Among those who dared, the Duchess of Sussex herself, Meghan Markle, and designer Victoria Beckham. The former, very elegant during her visit to the premises of the charity organization Smart Works last week, teamed her Oscar de la Renta trench coat with Gianvito Rossi pumps, decorated with the famous cow print. A stylistic choice far from having gone unnoticed, just like that of David Beckham's wife who, for her part, opted for a sheath skirt/shirt set from her latest collection (below).
The print has two advantages:it's quirky and shows that we don't take ourselves too seriously when it comes to fashion, and its neutral black and white colors allow it to be paired with any accessories and outfits (with a brightly colored item for example, for an ultra-trendy look!). For those – yes, men also have the right to give in to the trend! – who would not be ready to put on a coat or printed pants right away, we recommend starting with more subtle notes, with a belt (see below), a backpack, a scarf or sneakers or ballet flats. On Instagram, looks are blooming little by little. We leave you with our favourites, just to give you inspiration and, even better, to convince you to dare to take the plunge. You will see, you will simply be meeuuhrveilleux! PS:the new Mango collection is full of them (photo by illu)… Don't wait any longer!
