But the animal print takeover transcends our favorite spotted wildcat; in the form of animal print boots, it’s the easiest (and chicest way!) to bring out your wild side. From zebra to snakeskin, these statement patterns can instantly transform any outfit.

Although we won’t be replacing our go-to black boots anytime soon, there’s no better way to play with current trends than with footwear. Dip your toes in, if you will.

There’s a minimalist way to wear them too, like with a matching set and long overcoat.

Cow print may be the least likely animal print on your radar, but give it a chance. Modern interpretations use the print sparingly—like the below style from Lola Cruz. Style yours with a liquid-like blouse, distressed bomber jacket, and pleated midi skirt for an elevated finish.
