Deer Print Is the Prettiest Thing You'll Wear From Now Until Christmas

There's no denying fawn-spotted fashion is getting its moment right now. I literally can't escape it on my Pinterest board. Leopard is basic at this point. Deer print is unexpected, which is exactly why it's the it-girl print of the season. It's chic yet bold, timeless yet trendy, maximalist yet somehow still reads as quiet luxury. It's an anomaly, and I'm convinced that's why fashion girls everywhere are currently in a chokehold. Once you spot it (pun intended), you'll see it everywhere. The print is warm brown with soft cream spots, the exact coloring of a fawn, which is why half the pieces below have Bambi somewhere in the name. It wears as a neutral. Put it next to denim, black, cream, or red and it settles right in. Bambi print also reads softer and more feminine than most animal prints, which is a polite way of saying it’s hard to overdo. Below are 47 pieces, from a $30 Zara scarf to a $498 calf hair bag, with a lot of faux fur and satin in between.

Deer Print Jackets, Fur Real A faux fur jacket in deer print is the piece that gets you stopped on the street, so much so that you should absolutely expect to be asked where it’s from. A few of these are cropped, which does good things for a high-waisted jean. The tan ones read soft and the dark chocolate one reads sharp, so pick by the mood you want. Styling tip: Wear it open over a black turtleneck and straight-leg jeans, and keep the bag plain so the jacket stays the main event. superdown Eloise Faux Fur Jacket (Deer) $110 at Revolve Cropped and tan with a fawn-stripe spot print, this is the one to try first if you’re deer print curious. There’s a matching Eloise mini skirt for anyone brave enough to do the set. MORE TO COME Rockie Faux Fur Jacket (Deer Print) $120 at Revolve The big collar is the point here. There's not much else an outfit with this coat really needs. superdown Leah Jacket (Deer Print) $130 at Revolve Dark chocolate faux fur with white fawn spots, which reads richer than the tan versions and sits beautifully next to black. Highly recommend for anyone who thinks she can’t wear brown. BLANKNYC Take a Hike Faux Fur Coat $169 at Shopbop Brown faux fur with a cream deer-spot print and a darker faux fur collar and cuffs, so it looks trimmed without you doing anything.

Self-Same Bambi Jacket $374 at Self-Same Black, tan and white fawn spots with a collar and brown Mongolian-style cuffs, so it has more going on than the rest of the group. Worth it if texture is your love language. Fabrique Kaylee Horn Button Cropped Jacket (Fawn Print, Brown) $428 at Fabrique Horn buttons on a cropped brown faux fur jacket with fawn spots. It’s the most polished of the seven and the one you wear to a Christmas party over a long satin skirt. Go Long A long coat in a deer-spot print is a big commitment and a very glam one, which is exactly why it works. The whole look happens in one piece, so under it you can wear a slip dress or satin trousers and still arrive looking like you tried. All three are brown faux fur, and the Saylor is the one with the belt. Styling tip: Throw it over an all-black base (a ribbed knit dress works, so do slim black trousers) with a pointed boot, and let the coat be the only color. Bernardo Dakota Bambi Print Tailored Coat $219 at Bernardo Fashions Tailored is the key word, with dark brown faux fur and cream fawn spots cut to sit closer to the body than the fluffy jackets above. It goes over a dress on Christmas Eve and over jeans the next morning. Mango Long Bambi Faux Fur Coat $270 at Mango Medium brown faux fur in a printed Bambi design, fitted and longline with a shirt collar and front buttons, so it does the long coat thing with a bit more shape. Saylor Svea Coat $297 at Saylor Long, belted, and brown with deer spots, this is the coat that makes a plain outfit look expensive. Tie the belt and let the hem swing. Spot the Difference Faux fur is lovely and it’s also a lot, which is where a cotton twill bomber or a reversible borg jacket comes in. Both read deer print from across the room and both are easier to throw on for a coffee run. The spots do the same job with less volume. Styling tip: Style either one with straight-leg jeans and a white tank, and let the jacket be the only print. Bailey Rose Deer-Print Jacket $165 at Shopbop A brown cotton twill bomber with cream spots, so it reads deer print with none of the fluff. Throw it over a white tee and you’re done. Never Fully Dressed Reversible Deer Print Borg Jacket (Brown) $298 at Next Brown borg with cream deer spots on one side and blue with brown spots on the other, so it’s two jackets for the price of one. The pop of blue is a nice unexpected moment in the fall and winter. Top Tier A deer print top is the low-commitment way in, because you can wear it under a coat until you decide you love it. The Mint Velvet blouses are satin in rust, which is a warmer and dressier brown than the faux fur pieces. The $55 Lioness halter is sheer chiffon, and it’s the piece I would wear to a Christmas Eve dinner with a long black skirt. Styling tip: Tuck the satin blouse into a high-waisted black trouser with a slim belt, and keep the jewelry gold so the rust stays warm.

The superdown mini is faux fur and matches the Eloise jacket, for the girlies who like a set. Hunter Bell’s Dappled Doe maxi is the bougie option. Styling tip: Wear the satin maxi skirt with a black leather jacket and sheer black tights, and keep the shoe pointed. superdown Eloise Faux Fur Mini Skirt (Deer) $58 at Revolve The faux fur mini that matches the Eloise jacket, in the same tan fawn-stripe spot print.

Hunter Bell Suki Skirt (Dappled Doe) $425 at Bourbon Cowgirl Brown satin in a maxi length with cream fawn spots, and the name of the print (Dappled Doe) is reason enough. This is the one for the dinner where you plan on being photographed. Denim, But Make It Fawn Deer print on denim is the most casual way into the trend and somehow still the most noticed. The superdown wide-leg jean is soft tan and cream, so it reads as a light wash from a distance and a fawn up close. The Lioness jacket is cropped and washed, and it’s the thing to throw over a slip dress. Styling tip: Pair the wide-leg jean with a plain white tank and a brown suede boot, and keep the top fitted so the leg gets to be the volume. superdown Freya Jean (Deer Print) $84 at Revolve A wide-leg jean in a soft tan and cream fawn-spot print, which is the easiest way to make a white tank interesting.
