Collections — Animal Print
Unleash a curated wildness. ES Collection’s Animal Print Collection reimagines feline spots, zebra stripes and reptile scales for the modern man: bold, sculpted, and utterly luxurious. From leopard print shirts to zebra print shorts, from animal print swimwear to refined accessories, this capsule lets you wear the thrill of the hunt with the polish of European tailoring. It’s a celebration of texture, tone and confident presence — clothing designed to be seen at beach clubs, Pride parades, rooftop parties and nights that begin at sunset and end with the sunrise.
Trending Now: Why Animal Prints Matter
Animal print has returned to the fashion conversation with force. Editors and trend reports note leopard, zebra and other animal motifs as “comeback” staples this season; stylists recommend introducing them first through accessories before committing to larger garments, and runway shows and retail listings reflect increased demand for men’s animal print shirts and printed swimwear. For shoppers who want both edge and refinement, animal prints deliver instant character while remaining endlessly photogenic.
Retail demand is visible across marketplaces: from boutique swim brands selling bold animal print swim trunks to mainstream retailers listing leopard print shirts for men, the pattern language has broad appeal and strong commercial viability.
The ES Collection Approach — Elevated, Not Costume
A true designer animal print piece doesn’t shout “novelty”; it adds a layer of persona. ES Collection translates animal motifs into pieces that flatter and function:
- Proportioned print placement so patterns work with the body, not against it.
- Luxury fabric choices — silk-touch modals, quick-dry performance poly for swim, elevated cotton-jersey and jacquard weaves for textured impact.
- Refined finishing — flatlock seams, premium labels, and metal hardware that feel like jewelry, not afterthoughts.
- Fit first — cuts that sculpt shoulders, highlight the torso, and keep movement and comfort at the center.
The result is animal prints that read editorial, not theatrical — sexy without being tacky, and quality without compromise.
What’s in the Collection — Core Categories
Leopard & Cheetah Prints
Classic, sensual, and endlessly flattering. Leopard print shirts and leopard print swim trunks are staples because they pair easily with neutrals (black, white, navy) and photograph beautifully in sunlit environments. Start with a leopard print shirt or a pair of leopard swim trunks to test the look; these pieces immediately give you a bold, confident silhouette.
Zebra & Graphic Stripes
Monochrome and bold, zebra print shorts and shirts read both modern and striking. Their high-contrast lines make them ideal for nightlife looks and editorial shots. Zebra motifs also pair superbly with leather accents and minimal footwear for a crisp, masculine finish.
Reptile & Snake Textures
Snake and reptilian prints often appear as tonal jacquards or semi-gloss finishes. These are perfect for evening pieces — think cropped shirts, sheen-finish jackets, or trimmed swimwear that catch club lights and camera flashes.
Mixed-Scale Prints
Some pieces combine scales, spots and florals for layered interest. These hybrid prints are adventurous and work best when paired with simple basics to ground the outfit.
Swimwear & Hybrid Shorts
Animal print swimwear is festival-ready and pool-proof — quick-dry fabrics, integrated liners and secure waistbands make trunks functional for water and photography-friendly for pool parties. The best pieces transition effortlessly from swim to social set, allowing you to move from cabana to DJ stand without missing a beat.
Accessories: Towels, Caps, and Bags
If you’re easing into the trend, start with animal print accessories — caps, beach towels and pouches. Accessories are an easy way to add flair to neutral bases and are particularly recommended for group or coordinated looks at Pride and festivals. Editorial advice for the season also suggests introducing animal print via accessories first.
Styling — From Day Pools to Night Clubs
Animal print outfits can be wildly versatile when balanced appropriately. Below are curated, lifestyle-tested looks for ES Collection customers.
Day — Beach Clubs & Pool Parties
- Look: Leopard swim trunks + open linen camp shirt (solid) + slides + towel.

- Why it works: High visibility and mobility; prints read well in crowds and photos.
Sunset — Rooftop Aperitivo
- Look: Silk-touch reptile-print shirt + tailored white trousers + loafers.
- Why it works: A sheen finish catches low light; the combination feels curated rather than costume.
Night — Circuit Parties & Club Sets

- Why it works: Textures read dramatically under stage lighting and hold up in movement.
Casual City — Brunch & Gallery
- Look: Micro-animal printed tee + denim + minimal sneakers + cap.

Wild, Refined, Unapologetic
Animal print, when executed with restraint and craftsmanship, is one of the most compelling ways for a man to signal confidence, sensuality and taste.

Wear the print that suits your mood — whether whispering in a subtle micro-spot on a tee or roaring across a trunk and shirt set — and let each piece speak to your lifestyle: bold, social, and unforgettably stylish.
