Tap Into Your Wild Side with Animal Print Boots
Rawr.


For years I've maintained that animal print is the new black. And for the spring season, designers like Balenciaga and Dries Van Noten agreed with me, sending animal prints down the runways—but lets face it, animal print boots have always been a fashion staple. Is it a wild (no pun intended) print? Yes. But it's also subtle enough that it never teeters on the line of overly trendy. So pair with a day dress, an LBD or even a head-to-toe leopard print look. Because why not.
Even the cowboy boot can't escape being branded with zebra stripes. Pair with jeans or an LBD—these boots are super versatile. Yeehaw.
Celebrity stylist Elizabeth Sulcer hit the nail on the head when it came to this collab.
A two-for-one special! This two-tone boot gives shoppers the best of both prints.
