You heard it here first: all of a sudden, fashion crowds are awash with feline footwear. Whilst we’ve seen our fair share of shoe trends captivate the style set in recent months, this new-season trend is gaining more and more fans by the minute. Ushered in by the evolving preference for the dramatic, and the emerging “Mob Wife” aesthetic—all faux fur and statement jewellery—, leopard-print-everything is back as a fashion favourite.
Whilst I’m tempted by a classic leopard print coat, for those hoping to dip their toe into the trend (literally), then a leopard print shoe is the perfect place to start. Unexpectedly surging in Google searches and styling well with a neutral outfit such as jeans and a T-shirt, or an all-black ensemble, the leopard-print shoe trend is the perfect way to add a dash of print without overwhelming your look
Whilst some would argue that leopard print is an enduring fashion trend that never truly goes out of style, this season’s shoes are more tempting than ever before. From ballet flats to loafers, kitten heels to boots, all have been given the treatment of the re-emerging print.
A playful retort to the past seasons obsession with a refined palette, this new-season trend is glamorous, grungy and gaudy—in the best kind of way. Yes, leopard print has had “cheap” connotations attached to it in the past but, with deliberate styling, it feels fresh and fun, and a great way to shake up your outfits for the season ahead.
