Scandi Girls Have Ditched Black Shoes for Animal Print Styles |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

Copenhagen Fashion Week attendees style animal print shoes.

published 12 August 2025

I’m not sure if this makes me a bad fashion editor, but I’ll admit it: I often take more inspiration from the crowd gathered outside a fashion week venue than from the runway itself. And truthfully? I never feel bad about it. Street style is, after all, where the most wearable looks are spotted; it’s where we see trends in lived-in interpretations that are instantly adaptable to real life.

During last week's Copenhagen Fashion Week, the runways delivered a varied blend of Scandi minimalism and playful eccentricity, but the real magic for me was happening on the pavement. As I sifted through the hundreds of street style images post-shows, one detail kept jumping out as a unifying element threading through some of the week’s most stylish ensembles.

Copenhagen Fashion Week attendees wear animal print shoes.

From zebra stripes to leopard spots, glossy snakeskin to painterly cowhide, animal-print shoes were everywhere. Heels, boots, mules and loafers; Copenhagen’s style set wore them all, and they wore them well. The city’s most fashion-forward guests trotted between shows in pairs that offered a wink of wildness to otherwise refined outfits.

Spotted in a myriad of outfits, I often saw the trend styled with relaxed denim, when animal prints add a playful pop without overpowering. Paired with breezy dresses, cotton skirts or even micro shorts, they inject a little energy into every step. Whilst leopard print might have been last year’s favourite, the scope has widened, and we're embracing the entire animal kingdom.

Animal print might feel daunting to some, but I find that it's far more approachable in shoe form than head-to-toe prints. A classic pair of zebra-print slingbacks can liven up a neutral outfit, whilst snake-effect boots bring texture to a monochrome look. Even the boldest cow-print loafers feel grounded when the colour palette sticks to blacks, browns and creams.

With autumn on the horizon, this trend has come at the perfect time, looking all the more at home with richer items like chunky knits, wide-leg trousers and big, snuggly coats.
