Sorry, Black Boots—This Is the Shoe Trend It Girls Keep Wearing Instead
See how Emrata likes to style hers.
The key to dressing like an It girl is to go against the grain, just as Emily Ratajkowski often does. Ratajkowski is one of those effortless chic girls who we all want to emulate. For example, when everyone else is wearing black boots to gear up for fall, Emrata is donning a completely different shoe trend: snakeskin shoes.
Ratajkowski was just spotted arriving at an event in NYC dressed in a chic denim outfit featuring pointed-toe snakeskin shoes. She wore a chocolate brown leather jacket over a V-neck tank top in the same hue, and black jeans with a silver-buckle belt. The choice to slip on snakeskin shoes instead of black boots elevated her outfit much more. She looked stylish and put-together. And it’s no secret that snakeskin shoes have been popular since last fall and winter, so I predict they’ll soon be making a return among the fashion set.
