Tiger stripes. Leopard print. Giraffe spots. Animal patterns print umbrellas through the ’80s and are still everywhere in the fashion world today. Seen by some as trashy, animal prints are actually one of the longest standing patterns in fashion, seen on everything from Umbrellas to shoes to blankets and curtains.

Animal print stays popular because it can be used so diversely in different styles. A mini dress that is entirely leopard print can have the wild, fun, and flirty look, while a black mini dress with a leopard print trim, or leopard print shoes, add an edge to an otherwise classic outfit.

Much like the camouflage pattern, animal print can come in a variety of colors and still be recognizable from the pattern. The classic black and white zebra print can be a bold statement, but if the print is done in blue or yellow hues, it becomes softer and more feminine.

Stars on the red carpet are constantly seen with animal print touches, whether it’s a red dress with leopard print heels or a zebra print tie, the classic print adds a touch of fun and spontaneity to any outfit.

Umbrellas, in particular, is a hot spot for animal print. Animal prints can be found on everything from Umbrella handle to umbrella canopy, A feisty leopard print umbrella can make for a hot and edgy look. A zebra print umbrella is a sweet look with just an added touch of vibrant fabric.
