This eclectic outfit checks off all the must-haves for zoo attire: sunglasses, comfy shoes and it looks super cute! The zebra print top, long peacoat, and cobalt jeans help beat the cold for winter visits. Metallic boat shoes give the perfect pop to the outfit. Add colorful sunglasses and gold earrings and you’ll be good to go!

This is the ideal summer zoo outfit or a great choice if you live in a warm climate. The animal-printed dress will keep you cool and looking great. Wear a cute headband to push your hair back and add some pattern mixing to the outfit. With additions like a cute cross-body bag to hold your camera, comfy espadrilles, and a simple leaf pendant necklace, you’ll be comfortable (and stylish) all day long. A pop of hot pink lip stain completes the look.

I absolutely fell in love with this adorable penguin shirt — what animal lover wouldn’t!? It’s particularly perfect for a wintertime zoo visit but it would be funny to wear in summer too. For a more casual outfit, I paired the tee with colorful pastel orange jeans. Comfy white sneakers and cool rose gold aviators are the perfect finishing touches to this really fun and simple outfit.
