I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these boots!!! I’m a huge fan of animal print, and these mid-calf boots by Franco Sarto are gorgeous! Animal prints are considered a neutral, so they will go with everything. These are slightly dressy so that they will look great with dresses as well as jeans.

Styling Animal Print Booties

I love a great wedge because they’re like wearing heels without wearing heels. Wedge booties are perfect if you’re easing into the animal print trend. The print is subtle and these shoes have just enough height to dress up a casual outfit without sacrificing comfort. Pair them with black jeans and a cozy sweater for a put-together look that’s effortlessly stylish. One styling tip: keep your accessories minimal and in a neutral color palette to let the printed shoes be the focal point.

You gotta love Target! These stacked-heel booties would add a bit of edge to any outfit. I love the side zipper detail, which makes getting them on and off easy. These would look fantastic with a flowy skirt and a tucked-in tee for a mix of soft and bold. My tip for styling these: pair them with a denim jacket to tie together the look and add a casual vibe.

Styling Animal Print Tall Boots

Talk about a statement piece! These tall leopard boots make any outfit look runway-ready. Here is another Franco Sarto boot. Franco Sarto is one of my favorite shoe brands, and I’ve worn them a lot on the blog. Try wearing these with a black ensemble to really let the print shine. The extra height can elongate your legs, especially when styled with black skinny jeans. For a subtle touch, add a simple belt in a complementary color like burgundy.

Styling Animal Print Boots from Dillard’s

These snip-toe snake print booties from Dillard’s are just the right mix of fun and elegance. The kitten heel makes them practical for everyday wear while keeping things chic. Wear them with a long, flowy skirt and a tucked-in blouse for a day-to-night outfit. Styling tip: add a leather jacket for a touch of edge without going overboard.

How fun are these? These printed haircalf booties are a statement piece with a playful twist. The block heel is both stylish AND functional, making them a great choice for all-day wear. Pair them with dark skinny jeans and a slouchy neutral sweater for a cozy yet polished outfit. One trick: keep your other accessories simple, maybe just a dainty necklace.

Styling Animal Print Boots From Zappos

Croc print meets comfort with these Aerosoles ankle boots. The small heel makes them more walkable than a high-heeled version, yet they’re very stylish. Wear them with a sweater and dark-wash jeans for a cozy fall look that’s full of texture. My styling tip: keep your top half in neutral colors, and consider a faux fur handbag for added flair.

These Steve Madden leopard booties scream personal style! The sleek silhouette works well with a midi skirt or tailored black pants. These have a zipper on the other side to make them easier to get on and off. A neutral handbag and a simple tee will balance out the bold print. For an extra touch, try adding a belt that matches the bootie’s color scheme.

Styling Animal Print Boots From Sam Edelman

These square-toe printed booties from Sam Edelman are a versatile wardrobe staple. These boots would be fabulous with black skinny jeans or a tailored jumpsuit. To keep the focus on the boots, pair them with neutral or solid-colored clothing. For a dressier look, try them with a midi-length sweater dress and a statement belt to define your waist. If you’re heading to a more casual event, wear them with ankle-grazing trousers and a tucked-in blouse!

These faux snakeskin booties from Sam Edelman are a luxe addition to any wardrobe. The square toe gives these boots a modern edge that feels very on-trend, while the printed block heel adds a touch of flair without being too loud. I love how versatile they are—the print is subtle enough to work with a variety of outfits but still unique enough to make a statement. These are the kind of boots that will have you strutting your stuff with confidence!

For styling, these booties look fabulous with black jeans and a tucked-in button-down shirt. You could also pair them with a neutral skirt and a cozy sweater for a chic, fall-ready look.
