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 and she is wearing the same top, her own design from her inaugural collection from her SRG bramd. One of those post saw her post her pregnancy reveal. We have also seen Katie Holmes adopt the trend.

Let’s jump into the five different ways to get the Bambi fever in 2026.
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 some black leather gloves and shoes for sophistication make this an outfit 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. Can’t you just imagine yourself now? Running out the door in one of your more basic outfits, and then quickly remember that you have the ultimate bag to elevate your look. You walk out feeling more confident than ever and then having the best day knowing you turned it around with a unique splash of deer print.
4. Step Into 2026 Spotted From Head to Toe
An easy addition to your 2026 outfit roster rotation. You’re telling me that all you need to elevate a plain white T-shirt and jeans is a cute deer-print heel, or even a sleek deer-print boot? I’m sold. Whether it’s a pointed-toe heel for a night out or a statement boot that does the work for you during the day, deer-print footwear makes getting dressed effortless, easy, and exquisite.

This can go with all your basics, blue, black, brown, white jeans, cozy knits, and so much more. It’s the perfect piece for those who want to stand out but on their own terms, not too much but just so subtly fun and themselves.
