The $25 H&M and $50 Zara Flats I'm Buying Because This Shoe Trend Is Suddenly Everywhere
If you love leopard print but are also tired of leopard print, I think you'll appreciate what I'm about to report. Coming out of fashion month, there's a flurry of trends to think about, but one that's taken off immediately and is already at Zara and H&M is snakeskin shoes. Ever since Khaite, one of the most influential brands we have, sent multiple snakeskin-shoe iterations down its F/W 25 runway, people have been buzzing about the return of snakeskin shoes and promptly buying them up.
Two words that are music to everyone's ears are "affordable flats." While snakeskin heels are certainly lovely, I think we can all agree that chic snakeskin flats are even lovelier when it comes to comfort and walkability. Lo and behold, I found two perfect pairs that are well under $100 at H&M and Zara. H&M's are chic glove flats (sorry, they're selling like lightning), and Zara's are perfect square-toe Mary Janes with a slightly oversize buckle. I refuse to let you miss out on these wildly versatile snakeskin flats (yes, I think snakeskin goes with pretty much everything), so scroll on for some inspiration and to shop the standout affordable flats along with a few other pairs that are slightly less affordable.
