You don’t have to choose between cow or leopard print – with my top picks from the high street, you can wear both styles effortlessly.

Leopard print has long reigned as the queen of print but now it seems fashionistas are turning towards cow print as the new style to wear. The soft brown and cream tones means it's an easy pattern to wear and can be classed as a neutral.

According to Google Trends data, searches for ‘cow print’ have surged by 89% over the past month, overtaking the classic leopard print. Celebrities including Bella Hadid and Beyoncé have also been embracing the trend.

I’ve searched the high-street for the best cow and leopard print items to shop now. So you can look on-trend no matter which team you prefer.
