Animal print shoes have been around for a while although exclusively worn on the feet of TOWIE rejects or extras from Eastenders but the metaphorical tides have turned; Animal print shoes, alongside white stilettos, which were once looked at by fashionista’s with absolute disgust are now one of the chicest forms of footwear.
Everywhere you turn animal print is gracing clothes and accessories, the one in particular that we are loving is leopard print, thanks in part to Kenzo’s SS13 collection which saw it re-vamp the print with fresh bold colours. Whether you’re putting together a casual ensemble or something a little special then leopard print shoes can add in the perfect amount of style.
We’ve put together a little list of some of our favourite leopard print kicks from sandals to uber cool trainers and everything in between. Be prepared to fall in love…
1.Supra Owens Trainers - £65
As if we need any excuse to drool over running trainers which seem to be this season’s runaway hit when it comes to footwear(excuse the pun), these amazing Supra Owens running trainers aren’t just great looking but they’re also fantastic running shoes. They feature lightweight design and a breathable mesh top, elasticated laces and our favourite feature; amazing leopard print microfiber overlays. What more can you ask for from a running trainer?! It would be almost impossible to look bad in these so no matter how un-fit you are you can rest assured that no one will notice as they will be staring at your insanely cool kicks.
2.Dune Ankle Boot-£66
It might just be us but we’re pretty sure that we don’t remember there ever being a time when ankle boots weren’t in style so you really can’t go wrong with these amazing leopard print pony skin boots from Dune. With a brilliant statement gold heel these cool boots really speak for themselves, the perfect shoes teamed with a pair of navy skinny jeans and chunky knit or dressed up with a little black dress for the evening.
3.Shakuhachi Animal Print Sandal - £110
Ideal for the summer we have an theory that these amazing pink leopard print babies could just be the perfect holiday sandal, they’re super comfy and brilliantly stylish to boot we can’t think of a situation where these wouldn’t be great. So whether you’re hitting the beach or the South of France don’t go away without packing these in your luggage. Ideal teamed with anything from a pair of loose fit jeans or with cut offs and a bikini top, the colour is great for the summer.
4.Whistles Slip on Espadrilles - £110
Whistles are known for their great quality so even at a slightly wallet battering £110 you know these shoes are going to last. We absolutely love these beautifully simple leopard print espadrilles, they get double points from us for mastering the art of style and comfort! Summer essentials we recommend sporting these babies with a pair of on-trend denim overalls and a cropped white tee for an effortlessly cool warm weather ensemble.
5. Stella McCartney – Jane Animal Print Desert Boots - £246
These brilliant Stella McCartney boots are last but definitely not least, in fact, if we had the budget to accommodate these amazing shoes would be the first thing we would flash the cash for. The perfect mix of style and nonchalance (just what we want from any purchase) these boots are effortlessly cool without trying too hard. A great shape desert boots have been on our style radar for a wee while now and the white soles are another brilliant touch; team these with anything you like because whatever you choose you’ll be sure to look banging!
