10 Trendy Snakeskin Boots That Are Perfect for Fall
Madeleine Crenshaw

While bold boots are all the rage this season, it’s the snakeskin ones that are slithering their way to the top.
The resurgence of the thigh-high boot trend during fall 2019‘s fashion month surprised the usual style brigade of editors and influencers because ankle boots have dominated ready-to-wear for the past decade. The dramatic silhouette has also become synonymous with the edgy animal prints that we continue to see, making the two a power duo for fall.
Snakeskin print itself can mean a lot of things: python, embossed calf leather or synthetic leather (which doesn’t always mean vegan.) Despite the fur controversy shaking up the fashion industry, the conversation about the ethics of leathers and exotics is left out of the conversation.
Perhaps it’s a weird fascination with slithery reptiles that allows snakeskin to trend. But most point to its fascinating texture and its versatility: It’s often dyed in hues of browns, blues, yellows and reds. There’s no doubt that the print is as bold as it is neutral.
