Animal print is a trend that everyone knows and loves! After all, leopard print is basically the most neutral of patterns. But there's a new print grazing its way into the spotlight this season: cow print! With its bold black and brown patches, the print only adds to the Westernwear aesthetic that has taken over closets in the last few years. And cow print isn't just for the ranch! If you take a look at this season's runway shows and street style choices, you'll see that fashionistas everywhere are trading in their typical patterns for a bit of frontier flair.

Of course, the cow craze isn't new for Ree Drummond. From kitchen essentials to the cutest cow décor, it's a trend she followed before now. But, it's not too late to join the stampede. This list rounds up a variety of cow print pieces that you can add to your own wardrobe. While the pattern might seem difficult to style, its color palette and abstract design make for ensembles that are both exciting and easy. Here, you'll find typical cowgirl items like cowboy boots and cowboy hats, but you'll also see chic clothing items like skirts and statement pants. Don't skip cute dresses decorated in the pattern—they're both bold and beautiful! And for those of you who do actually work on a ranch, there are also practical pieces. A wrinkle-resistant shirt and flannel button-up are ready for you to rope up.

So, scroll on to get some inspo for the biggest fashion moment of fall 2024. It's an udderly unexpected trend you didn't know you needed!
