As the weather turns, one thing has become abundantly clear: This fall’s must-have shoe is not booties or platform sandals. It’s leopard loafers.
While leopard print has never truly left the runway, this season the animal print has come back stronger than ever. It’s a Main Character in every part of our closets, from our jackets to our footwear. So if you thought the leopard print trend was just a passing thing, it’s time to reconsider.
And while the iconic motif can be found in just about every accessory this season, leopard loafers have taken the lead when it comes to footwear.
There is already a myriad of options across some of your favorite retailers. You can go big with faux fur shoes that mimic actual leopard fur, or keep it simple with printed leather or suede versions. Whatever you choose, your animal print loafer is sure to elevate any look in the blink of an eye.
But if you’re still not sure how to style them, the answer is easier than you think: They work just as well with embellished jeans and a basic white tee as they do with a minimalist tailored suit for the office. The whole point is that they’re versatile, comfortable, and unique.
If you’re looking for a relaxed but polished daytime look, pair your new loafers with neutrals in shades of beige, black, or gray so the leopard print does all the work for you. For an evening out, don’t hesitate to up the ante and wear your leopard loafers with a satin midi skirt and a glitter top. After all, it’s the shoes that’ll make the look.
