Sorry to My “Nude” Shoes, This Rich-Looking Style Is Much More Current

Slithering into the wardrobes of those most stylish, I’ve spotted an an emerging shoe trend make its way onto the streets at pace, as fashion people have been investing in and wearing the snake print shoe trend more than ever this summer.

Adding an elevated energy to their daily looks, snake print shoes feature a neutral colour palette, often composed of blacks, greys and beiges. Emulating the texture of a snake’s body, the design’s intricate patten make the shoes naturally interesting, yet the refined colour palette keeps the trend feeling versatile, a great alternative to “nude” pairs to and easy to style.

Synonymous with luxury—real snake skin designs from the past carried hefty price tags, which made them a shoe that only the wealthy could afford—today’s best snake print shoes are, thankfully, not made from authentic snake skin, thus making them more accessible, without scrimping on any rich-looking appeal.

Now cropping up in the wardrobe of actor and newly crowned styled icon, Daisy Edgar-Jones, this week she styled her snake-print in the form of pointed-toe heels with sleek knee-length shorts and a bandeau top.

I also clocked Sabrina Elba wearing a similar pair with brown tailored trousers, a statement belt and a black sleeveless top, with her shoes adding a point of interest to the outfit without overcomplicating it. Chic really doesn’t cut it.

Now that I’ve noticed it cropping up, I can’t unsee it, both on social media and in the new-in sections of my favourite brands. Available in a wide range of styles, snake print is spanning flip flops, elegant heels and pretty ballet flats, as well as knee high boots and strappy sandals.
