Deer Print Trend: Bambi-Inspired Prints Are Taking Over 2026
Move Over Leopard Print: Bambi-Inspired Prints Are Trending
Enough flirting with the idea of incorporating deer print into your wardrobe, 2026 is the year you commit to the full look. Forget leopard, zebra, and snakeskin; deer print is the way to stand out and change up the animal print in your outfits (especially if it’s faux fur). My personal loyalty to leopard print runs deeper than most, so when I saw deer print executed well, it was an unexpected surprise but intriguing enough to earn a spot in my closet this year. Let’s make 2026 the year of deer print (faux fur, obviously) together and try something new to look chic and have a little wardrobe refresh.

Tory Burch’s FW25 show alone has proved the elegance and ability to be tasteful with Bambi print.
Celebrities and influencers are also showing that this animal print is wearable and is the new print to adopt. Sofia Richie Grainge has shared two Instagram posts seeing her wear the Bambi-inspired print trend, wearing the same top from her inaugural SRG collection. One of those posts featured her pregnancy reveal. We have also seen Katie Holmes adopt the trend.

5 Ways to Wear Deer Print
1. Double the Deer Print, Double the Style – Ease of Style with a Matching Set
The easiest way to try out this print for yourself is by diving in headfirst, and what better way to do that than a full Bambi-inspired matching set? No need to worry about what to pair with the print when you have the matching top or bottom to go with it. Styling this print as a set makes you look and feel put together with little effort or thought. Add your favorite sunnies and pop on a cute pair of tennis shoes or loafers and you are effortlessly chic in deer print.
2. Let Your Legs Do the Talking – Swap Your Jeans for Deer Print Pants
J’adore funky pants. Don’t tempt me too much, because these pants just might be in my shopping cart as we speak. This look is perfect for those who have an edgy flair in their style and love to experiment with their looks. Paired with your favorite neutral-toned winter coat and black leather gloves and shoes for sophistication, this outfit is sensational to take on the town in 2026.
3. Carry the Outfit With a Touch of Bambi
Needing to elevate a low-key outfit? Pairing your look with a faux fur Bambi bag is just the way to go. Running out the door in one of your more basic outfits, then remembering you have the ultimate bag to elevate your look, changes everything. You walk out feeling more confident than ever, knowing you added a unique splash of deer print.
4. Step Into 2026 Spotted From Head to Toe
An easy addition to your 2026 outfit rotation. All you need to elevate a plain white T-shirt and jeans is a cute deer-print heel or a sleek deer-print boot. Whether it’s a pointed-toe heel for a night out or a statement boot for daytime, deer-print footwear makes getting dressed effortless, easy, and exquisite.
