Zebra Pattern

July 6th, 2009 by 24hrpetshop

The variety of zebra pattern applications extends to clothes design, bed sheets decorations, home improvement items, accessories and so on. Like many other animal prints, the zebra pattern comes in and out of style every few years, and for someone who is really keen on staying trendy, checking magazines periodically remains the best way to keep updated on the latest trends. One thing that tends to be overlooked is the difficulty to make a successful match of a zebra pattern in association with other existing elements in the clothing, the room decor or the accessory combination in one case or another.

This means that the line between trendy and ridiculous could be very fine when it comes to adopting and even wearing a zebra pattern. To give just two relevant examples, let's consider a casual dress with a printed zebra pattern. Great stylish effects can be achieved if it is complemented with a plain-looking hand bag and a pair of solid colored shoes. Any intricate design or color combinations on one of these accessories and the beauty of the zebra print is gone, making one look ridiculous and totally uninspired. The same rule functions in the case of home decorations: over-decorations with animal imprints could give the impression of a crammed space and even become unpleasant for the eye.

Further on, a rather unique application for the zebra pattern is in nail enameling. Many girls and women consider such decorations appropriate for both special events and casual wear, yet without the right choice of clothes the effect is disastrous and the zebra pattern becomes just another proof of bad taste. Some self-proclaimed cosmetic experts have come up with all sorts of daring color combinations following the zebra pattern, but the truth is that such nail paintings do have to be well matched with the person's style and personality.

A simple Internet search will reveal to anyone curious the abundance of zebra pattern styles for a huge range of applications. Things have gone so far with the integration of this decorative pattern in our daily activities that some people even choose or actually create the zebra stripes as desktop backgrounds. To speak in perfect honesty, a zebra pattern will work great when carefully chosen and adapted to the situation, but otherwise it often ruins the decor or gives one a really bad look. Therefore, be careful what zebra pattern you choose and how you make use of it!
