Rihanna Knows That Wearing This Shoe Trend With Brown Pants Make Your Winter Outfits Look Rich
On the way to more elegant looks.
I’m a big fan of animal print, and as you might know, so is Rihanna. She was just spotted wearing yet another iconic winter look, including a fur coat, a pair of brown pants straight off the Loewe runway, and a pair of shoes that were not snakeskin, not zebra print, nor leopard print. The heels she wore were crocodile-embossed, and they made her outfit look like a million bucks. Rih always looks expensive, no matter what she wears, but these shoes really did the trick.
Other celebrities and influencers alike have also caught onto the trend, with croc boots being a popular vehicle for it. Meanwhile, the trend has quickly made its way to other accessories, such as bags, as spotted on Jennifer Lawrence recently. Rihanna's choice to wear croc-embossed shoes rather than snakeskin or leopard with her brown pants was a smart one, as it provided an elegant tonal look with the addition of some texture via her pumps. Croc-embossing isn't specific to winter, but I must say, it really complements a cold-weather wardrobe.
