From leopard and zebra print shoes to sandals with croc-embossing, animal prints are an easy way to add a bit of pop to any outfit, and they're a hot trend for 2011. In recent years, animal prints have made their way onto every style of footwear imaginable, so everyone can take part in the fun. Below are a few of my favorite styles for women.
1. Sam Edelman 'Bina' - Leopard Print Flats for Women
I can't think of too many things that would look cuter with a pair of jeans, leggings or capri pants than these leopard print ballerina flats from Sam Edelman. In addition to being multi-seasonal, the print on these women's shoes helps to solve that age-old dilemma or whether to wear black or brown accessories, since you can wear either. Also available in black, gray, and metallic gold, these shoes cost about $120.
2. Via Spiga 'Ida' - Animal Print Shoes for Women
While some women love for their animal print shoes to be over the top, others prefer a more subtle effect -- that's where shoes like these pretty animal print slingbacks come in. Also available in black and red, these open-toed shoes feature ultra-high 4.75" heels, platform soles, and posh patent uppers. If you can handle heels this high, these would be great for pairing with skirts or dresses of just about any shape or length.
3. Chinese Laundry 'Haylie' - Sexy Animal Print Heels
Definitely one of the most unique styles on the list, these women's booties feature distressed sheer leopard print fabric uppers that give them a cool, head-turning look. The 5" heels are bound to get a bit of attention as well, but at least they're offset by 1" platform soles. Also available in black and blush, these shoes would work as well with skinny jeans as they would with your favorite little black dress.
4. Aussie Dogs 'Zebra' - Animal Print Sheepskin Boots
These boots offer an adorable and trendy way to stay warm and fashionable this fall and winter. With shafts that are 12.5" tall and 15" in circumference, these zebra-print boots have sheepskin uppers and pull-on styling. They're begging to have leggings or skinny jeans tucked into them, and they're also available in a purple and white zebra print.
5. Nina 'Yaneli' - Women's Cheetah-Print Wedges
Just like animal print shoes, wedge shoes are hot this season, so you'd be hard-pressed to find a trendier pair of shoes than these open-toed booties from Nina. Offered in this cheetah print, and in sand suede, these unique and dynamic shoes feature covered 4" heels, and side zippers -- and, they'd be a natural match for your favorite jeans.
6. Sam Edelman 'Ria' Ankle Bootie
An excellent choice for fall and winter, these sexy booties would add a heaping helping of personality to jeans or pants, and their 4.5" heels are bound to turn a few heads. Also available in gray, these women's boots are priced at $150.
7. Butter 'Cass 30' - Animal Print Pumps with Kitten Heels
These pretty pumps have a lot of great things going for them including very wearable 1.5" kitten heels, stylish leopard print uppers, open toes, and adorable red vamp bows. Also available in a host of other colors, these women's shoes would be an excellent accessory for everything from dress pants to skirts and dresses, and they're ideal for fall.
8. French Sole "Sloop" - Cute Women's Flats
The incredibly popular "Sloop" flats from French Sole come in more colors and prints than I could possibly list, among them are leopard, zebra and giraffe suede, as well as a host of exotic print finishes. These cute and comfy flats are perfect for pairing with jeans, and are made in Italy.
