Leopard Print Is Fine, But This Is the Unexpected Shoe Print Fashion People Are Already Wearing on Repeat
I love leopard-print shoes as much as the next fashion editor, but a new controversial shoe trend has been popping up everywhere and has my attention—cow-print shoes. Influencers and celebrities, like Dakota Johnson in her sold-out printed Adidas Taekwondo sneakers, have adopted the trend and, in turn, provided some chic outfit inspiration for how to wear a pair. Safe to say, I'm taking notes.
Below, I shared and shopped out three inspiring looks as well as a curated list of chic cow-print shoes from Nordstrom. Think ballet flats, loafers, boots, sneakers, sandals, and more. I plan to wear my top picks now, but I am most excited to style them with jeans this fall. Here's to trying the fun print!
