Animal Print Fashion Blog Posts
Apparel Search fashion blog — blog posts about animal print clothing and accessories.
In this section we present links to various news articles about clothing, shoes, or fashion accessories that have the appearance of animal prints. This is the main animal print index for the Apparel Search fashion blog: six posts, from a 2023 leopard print feature back to the cluster of 2013 posts, plus links to the two narrower indexes for animal print tops and animal print capris. Animal print never fully leaves fashion — it cycles between classic and statement — and the posts collected here show it on dresses, workout capris and sweatshirts alike.

About Animal Print Fashion
Animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as a leopard, cheetah, zebra, tiger, spotted or striped hyena, giraffe, monkey or some other type of animal. Animal prints are also used for handbags and footwear, jewelry, belts, gloves, and more. A major difference between animal prints and fur clothing is that animal prints typically use fake fur: the pattern is printed or woven into ordinary fabric, so the look carries none of the material of the animal itself. Tap into your animalistic side with fun, flirty and stylish animal print fabrics. The posts above span that range — Katy Perry wearing Emanuel Ungaro is the dress version, the Vanessa Hudgens posts are the casual capri version (the same June 2013 Soffe story was covered twice, as a style post and as a workout capris post, and both are kept here as they were published), and The Mountain animal sweatshirts are the graphic-print version.
A note this page has always carried, and still stands behind: a message to fashion designers — Apparel Search suggests that you utilize "fake" animal coats. Printed and faux versions give wearers the pattern without the animal. In addition to the posts above, you can search for more animal print fashion blog posts by using the blog search link above. If you are looking specifically for tops or for capris, check the animal print tops page and the animal print capris page linked at the top of this page; the topic block below collects animal print guides for dresses, pants, blouses, handbags and shoes.

Common Questions
What is animal print in fashion?
Animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as a leopard, cheetah, zebra, tiger, spotted or striped hyena, giraffe or monkey. It is used on clothing and on handbags, footwear, jewelry, belts and gloves, and animal prints typically use fake fur rather than real animal material.
What animal print posts are collected here?
Six posts: The Leopard Print Leopard Sprint (2023), Katy Perry Wearing Emanuel Ungaro (2013), two Vanessa Hudgens Soffe capri posts, Vanessa Hudgens in Soffe Work Out Capris, and The Mountain Animal Sweatshirts. Two narrower indexes — animal print tops and animal print capris — are linked at the top of the page.
Is animal print made from real animals?
No — that is the point of the print. Animal print reproduces the pattern on ordinary printed or woven fabric, and typically uses fake fur where a fur texture is wanted. Apparel Search's standing suggestion to fashion designers, kept from this page's earlier text, is to utilize fake animal coats.
