Cow Print Is The Winter Trend That's Driving TikTok Crazy
Cowhide or piebald, the famous Holstein spots are back to conquer GenZ.
After the migrations of zebras and leopards on the entire wardrobe, accessories included, we have the alternative, the return in style of the cow print . The fashion trend of winter 2025 is in full swing thanks also to a special boost, that of social media. On TikTok the search #cowprint intercepts hundreds of reel contents in which properly spotted garments are analyzed and shown in the well-known brown, white and black palette. The Holstein spots, named after the breed of American cows, have influenced and inspired over the decades infinite variations of clothing as well as furnishing accessories. A practice that has its roots and logic of meaning since the dawn of the evolution of man the hunter. Today, the cowhide used to make spotted garments should come from the food circuit so as not to insist on other types of exploitation. Fortunately, the cow print trend is also expanding through graphic reworkings and processing techniques on softer yarns so as to return a very valid cow effect that is decidedly greener.
Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton autumn winter 2024 made extensive use of it with the intent of rediscovering and polishing the most authentic origins of the black pride of cowboys that are anything but white, that is, the sphere of the Yeehaw Agenda movement. Or we find in a bon-chic key the presence of cow print in the Dior Cruise 2024 collection by Chiuri rightly set in Mexico. But then, showing off cow print in small and large doses is a possible habit and practice for everyone. From Meghan Markle in Gianvito Rossi pumps to Ariana Grande and Ashley Roberts up to Cardi B. and Beyoncé.
How to choose and match the cow print
Almost like a private investigator on a not-so-secret mission, the cow print trench coat is one of those pieces that can "draw" the character over the look. In crisp fabric and with a revisited print, it becomes almost a conceptual and artistic piece. How to match the cow print? Simple, by subtraction.
Bold they are bold. But it is clear that the cow print pants have a particularly high coefficient. The resonance with the role of herdsman and vaqueros and with the cowboy overpants, called chaps, leads them to be perceived as an exotic and adventurous piece of the outfit in question. Naturally, black and minimal ankle boots are very useful to counterbalance the chromatic intensity.
A cowhide coat is the unexpected plus around a trendy outfit like this one with a burgundy or chocolate red leather skirt and dark turtleneck. The irregular pattern visually shakes up the compact portions of the two garments.
The highlight of the entire range of pieces of the cow print themed wardrobe is definitely the short jacket , with a somewhat rigid construction because it is borrowed from ancient traditions. Maybe it's because of the cowboy reference, or the imagery it evokes when translated especially into another context, the cow print jacket elevates any jeans and trousers that are perhaps too ordinary and repetitive.
This Cow Print Jacket Is The Winter Jacket That's Going Viral
TikTok is clogged with content dedicated to it, the cow print jacket by Mango. Straight cut, lined, shirt collar and two front flap pockets. It lacks nothing to become a cult piece of winter fashion. Finally the stroke of genius, the cow print accessories that add the right decorative contribution to underline the visual punctum of the entire outfit. Mainly the cow print bag represents the most agile choice if the cow trend inhibits a little. We have selected two: the trapezoidal bucket bag in ponyskin effect leather by Tod's and the medium-sized tote bag by Bimba y Lola with two external compartments with zippers, magnetic closure and shoulder strap.
