Wild Ride: How to Style Animal Print Wedge Boots

Posted by Merch Assistant on

Why animal print wedge boots belong in your closet

Animal print is a neutral, and we will not be taking questions. Leopard, zebra, snake and croc work with almost anything you already own, and they make even jeans and a sweater look styled.

Put that print on a wedge and you get the best of both worlds: real height without the wobble of a stiletto. Our sculptural and cut-out wedges add an architectural edge you can actually walk in all day.

Below, we break down what to look for in animal print wedge boots, every style to shop, and seven ways to wear them.

What to look for in animal print wedge boots

Check these five details before you buy.

  1. The print. Leopard and snake are the easiest to style. Zebra and tiger make a bolder statement. Croc adds texture and shine.
  2. The wedge. A wedge spreads your weight across the whole heel, so it feels steadier than a stiletto. Sculptural and cut-out wedges make the heel part of the look.
  3. The shaft height. Booties are the easiest everyday pick. Knee-high and over-the-knee wedge boots make the biggest statement.
  4. The calf fit. Check the calf circumference or leg opening, especially for tall boots, so they sit comfortably over bare legs or skinny jeans.
  5. The toe. A pointed toe looks sleek and leg-lengthening. An almond or round toe feels softer and more casual.

7 ways to style animal print wedge boots

  1. With an all-black outfit. The easiest formula. Black top, black bottom, and let the print be the only statement.
  2. With a mini dress. Tall wedge boots like KENYA, BRUN and CAMILLA make a simple mini dress look instantly styled.
  3. With jeans. Tuck skinny jeans into tall boots, or wear booties with straight-leg or cropped flares.
  4. With a sweater dress. Cozy knit and a bold boot is the ultimate fall pairing.
  5. Print on print. Feeling brave? Pair snake with leopard, or zebra with a striped knit. Keep the colors in the same family so it looks intentional.
  6. With denim on denim. SERONA and KENYA Denim Tiger give a full denim look a wild twist.
  7. With faux leather. Leather leggings, a leather mini or a moto jacket turn up the edge.
