Slowly but surely, the days are getting drizzlier, darker and chillier, and I'm coming to terms with the fact that it's time to pack away some of my wardrobe favourites in favour of hard-working items that can withstand the brisk winter days.
Saddened to part with my favourite pair of ballet flats, this season, I'm swapping them out for the winter-worthy leopard-print boots trend. Adding the same playful energy to an outfit that my favourite printed flats used to, the leopard-print boots trend is the seasonal upgrade my wardrobe has been crying out for. Practical, cosy and outfit-enhancing, this growing boot trend can enliven a dark winter outfit in the effortless way that I'm looking for.
Whilst this boot trend is new for winter 2024, I'm not at all surprised to see it back in the mix. Skyrocketing in popularity over the past few months, the leopard-print fashion trend has dominated style scenes more than any other trend this year. Whether leopard-print jeans, heels, tops or bags, the timeless trend reached new levels of popularity this year after saturating runway shows in February and dominating stores throughout the year.
Already woven into the wardrobes of stylish city-dwellers in London and Paris, the new-season boot trend is destined to go far. A mainstay in a wide range of high-street and designer collections right now, the trend is officially slated as one of the season's most important buys.
Available in knee-high and ankle styles, the trend has been interpreted by plenty of brands this season. Zara has pairs in a selection of designs, whilst Toteme has perfected its leopard-print knee-high boots.
