Animal print isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
If you're a little bored of your summer leopard print skirt or retro tiger shirt, don't fret. The newest 'it' jungle-inspired item features a less oversaturated print: snakeskin.
Reptilian boots in various styles were seen on the AW18 runways - from the likes of Rochas and Yeezy to Zimmerman and Rejina Pyo - and the patterned boot has become a highly coveted piece of footwear for the new year ahead.
Here's why you should ditch your boring black ankle boots for something with dash of sassy snakeskin...
The Thigh High Boots
To kick off 2019 with a splash of drama invest in a pair of thigh high python effect boots.
Are they appropriate for everyday use? Probably not. But, pair with a blazer in the evening, or oversized jumper for the day, and you have yourself one hell of a showstopping ensemble.

The Knee-High Boot
Thigh high a bit too extra? Go for a retro knee-high style.
Pair with a clashing animal print midi dress, or let the boots do all the talking by sticking to a neutral toned outfit, either way, the '70s-inspired shoes will immediately elevate your sartorial ranking.

The Ankle Boot
For something more understated, not to mention versatile, chuck out those black ankle boots and invest in a pair with a pop of print.
Whether you pair with skinny jeans or a shirt dress, the boots will see you through season after season. And, if you want to boss two trends in one, you can even get a pair of snakeskin cowboy boots for extra oomph.
