Amongst the huge range of new fashion styles for this year, there’s at least one of our favorite trends that’s expanded its range and is certainly here to stay. And that’s animal prints!
In particular, zebra print is this year’s most elegant print. And as the perfect accessory to black and white outfits, zebra print shoes are available in lots of new and different styles. You can wear casual zebra trainers, ballet pumps, loafers, stilettos, high and low heels, chunky or dainty boots and really put together some stunning outfits!
Discreet zebra print shoes color matches
Zebra is exciting as a wild-animal print, but so easy to wear without worrying too much over how to integrate it into your fashion wardrobe. Monochrome outfits or dresses in beige tones, or black and white look fabulous with zebra shoes, which instantly add panache to any ensemble. And if you want to add more eye-catching color to your outfit, you can always add blue or red accessories.
Can you wear zebra print shoes in summer?
Yes, you certainly can.
There’s no reason at all to consider zebra patterns linked to any one season. In the summer, a plain pink or lavender dress will look lovely with strappy zebra high-heels or wedge sandals. This year’s summer colors are mostly soft pastels in green, blue, pink, peach, soft orange, lavender and gentle shades of yellow. So they will all look cute against a pair of black and white zebra print trainers, sandals, wedges and pumps. In fact, you can wear zebra print footwear all year round, so they are a good investment!
Four top tips on how to wear Zebra print shoes
-
- Don’t wear colors that don’t harmonize with the actual animal print. For example, to get the smartest look from zebra-print shoes, you should team them with black and white outfits or wear ‘cool’ colors, like purple, lavender, pink, beige, green, burgundy, blue, marsala red-brown, tan and red, as opposed to ‘warm’ colors like orange.
- If you haven’t worn animal prints before, start with a handbag, scarf, belt or shoes and get used to matching them with your current wardrobe of fashion clothes.
- Only wear animal print clothes that have a relaxed cut intended to create a casual, but chic image.
- Avoid wearing a tight animal print skirt along with an equally tight shirt, which can send out an overly sexual vibe.
Zebra-prints shoes & boots styles
All zebra print shoes come in a wide range, these day and so you can have as many pairs as you like to add a lovely touch of chic to outfits you’ve had for a while, as well as matching them with your new fashion clothes. For a casual look choose flat mules or sandals, or wedge-sandals if you’re petite and like a little extra height to wear with you flares or boot cut jeans.
Chic outfits look perfectly ‘polished’ when worn with high heels. And casual ensembles look cute with zebra print kitten heels or amazing short and long zebra boots! Not all zebra prints are plain black and white, as there’s a new set of golden and black zebra patterns available this year that are just fabulous, especially in long boots!

- So that could be light wash distressed loose leg jeans, worn with a blue/white stripy shirt, a touch of brightness from a small, yellow bag and then cute zebra kitten heel shoes.
