It’s True: This “Cheap” Shoe Trend Is Going to Be Everywhere This Spring

All fashion enthusiasts hit a wall with their wardrobes from time to time—whether you’re a minimalist or a maximalist, you’ve likely grown bored of your go-to outfit formulas at some point. At such moments, just a simple injection of an unexpected element will keep your look from feeling stale. Accessories are a great way to do this; more specifically, shoes. Even more specifically: printed shoes.

Over the past few seasons, leopard print shoes have been cropping up all over Instagram in street-style and influencer snaps. Teamed with an otherwise pared-back outfit (think blue jeans and a neutral knit, or an understated LBD), they add an intentional pop of interest. Leopard pumps are not a new thing, but as a key player in the viral “Mob wife” aesthetic, 2024 will see them peak for the first time in a while. It’s not the only print adorning this year’s footwear, though. There are four others we expect to line the shelves of all our favourite stores and ground the outfits of countless style insiders in the coming months.
